FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS
The paints & coatings market will be analyzed taking paint manufacturers as players. The key buyers will be taken as
industrial and construction companies, and chemical manufacturers as the key suppliers.
Summary
Figure 7: Forces driving competition in the global paints & coatings market, 2013
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
The market has recovered from the decline experienced in 2009 and experienced strong growth in recent years, which
has alleviated rivalry to some degree.
Newcomers with insufficient capital may be discouraged by the initial large capital outlay required, and the need for
economies of scale to obtain the best results in the market.
This market is fragmented, highly affected by macroeconomic conditions and hard to exit. These factors increase rivalry.
The nature of the market means it is affected by conditions in a number of other sectors, such as the construction,
housing and energy industries. The price adjustments of constituent chemicals can affect profitability within the market.
As rising raw material costs have squeezed margins, some paints and coatings leaders have backwards integrated.
The market is subject to a range of regulations, and the major players have adapted to the changing nature of the market
by offering ranges of eco-friendly products.

Buyer power
Figure 8: Drivers of buyer power in the global paints & coatings market, 2013
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
In many individual country markets, 2013 saw an increase in market value due to an improvement in the housing
industry and consumer spending. The flourishing nature of the market means that players do not need to offer cheaper
paints, in order to attract customers. Good market performance means buyer power is weakened slightly, as players are
able to apply higher prices to their products. Additionally, the strong performance of emerging and developing markets
means that global players are able to avoid price cuts in many regions, reducing buyer power furthermore.
Across the paint and coatings market, players try to differentiate their offerings via strong branding. As switching costs
are rather low (except the situation when buyers enter into a contract with manufacturers), buyer power is boosted.
The size of typical buyers of paints and coatings varies substantially. Large original equipment manufacturers (OEMs),
for example, enjoy a substantially greater degree of buyer power than smaller construction companies, due to the
difference in purchase quantity.
The relatively large number of potential buyers serves to further weaken buyer power within the market.
Overall, buyer power is assessed to be moderate.

Supplier power
Figure 9: Drivers of supplier power in the global paints & coatings market, 2013
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
With over 300 inputs to the manufacturing process, the paints and coatings market is raw-material intensive. Of those
300, around half are petrol based.
The raw materials for paints may be classified into 5 segments: pigments, solvents, binders, additives and white
cement/urea. These account for roughly 50% of total costs. Thus, the market is affected by international price changes
and macroeconomic conditions.
When the international prices of petrochemical products come down, paints manufacturers benefit. The cost adjustments
of chemicals such as titanium dioxide, which makes paint opaque and is an essential ingredient in automobile paint
production, and acrylic acid, a resin that binds pigments together can affect the profitability within the market. However,
as these are not highly differentiated products, and can be sourced readily from several companies, supplier power is
weakened to an extent. The cost of such materials is crucial to players’ profit margins.
Although the paint industry remains fragmented, in recent years concentration has increased following a trend toward
globalization and consolidation, driven by the needs to reduce costs, and serve a worldwide customer base. Many
smaller companies have lost their independence by the need to meet more restrictive environmental regulations, along
with customer demand for better, more cost efficient coatings. Pigment and additives producers supply the paints and
coatings industry with necessary raw materials, titanium oxide and resins, and command a moderate degree of
bargaining power.
As rising ingredients costs have squeezed margins, some paints and coatings leaders have integrated backward. For
example, BASF is active in the manufacture of paints and coatings, as well as the production of raw materials, such as
resins. Potential backwards integration of players weakens supplier power. However, smaller players may find it more
difficult to source their own materials.
Overall, supplier power is assessed as moderate.

New entrants
Figure 10: Factors influencing the likelihood of new entrants in the global paints & coatings market, 2013
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
Newcomers may be discouraged by environmental regulations, such as REACH (an EU directive for the Registration,
Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals), which lead to additional capital expenditure, reducing funds
available and squeezing margins. Compliance with REACH legislation also results in increased costs in registration,
product testing and reformulation, risk characterization and participation in Substance Information Exchange Forums
(SIEFs), which are required to co-ordinate registration dossier preparation. These costs can often be substantial, and
serve to dissuade potential new entrants to the market. Additionally, REACH has far-reaching impacts upon players from
outside of Europe and similar legislation, such as the US Toxic Substances Control Act, exists in other countries.
Furthermore, high initial fixed costs for the acquisition of specialized production systems for the process of paint
formulation, tends to discourage new entrants with insufficient capital.
The size of the current market leaders can also act as a deterrent as companies such as E. I. duPont de Nemours &
Company and PPG Industries, Inc. generate revenue in its billions. Dominance from players of this size means there is
less revenue available for new entrants.
Price wars between existing players will also serve to dissuade potential new entrants. However, the relative ease of
end-user switching, coupled with good market performance in recent years, may serve to attract new entrants to an
extent.
Overall, the likelihood of new entrants is assessed as moderate.

Threat of substitutes
Figure 11: Factors influencing the threat of substitutes in the global paints & coatings market, 2013
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
Paints and coatings offer benefits, such as protection and aesthetic changes. They can protect buildings, automobiles
and manufactured objects from corrosion and other forms of damage. Additionally, they allow construction and
manufacturing companies to make their products more appealing to their own customers, who are often consumers, and
therefore in a position to make purchasing decisions on the grounds of personal taste.
However, these benefits can be achieved in other ways. At the product (or building) design stage, materials that do not
require any additional coatings could be used: stainless steel rather than non-stainless; PVC rather than wood, and so
on.
However, as the material a product is made from is usually fundamental to its performance, these design decisions are
not trivial and this can be viewed as a high switching cost.
The threat from substitutes is assessed as weak overall.

Degree of rivalry
Figure 12: Drivers of degree of rivalry in the global paints & coatings market, 2013
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
Fierce competition is coming from both industry majors and paint shops and building material superstores marketing
private label brands.
Increased regulatory pressure and rising public awareness of environmental and health issues has created a greater
demand for low-solvent paints in recent years, leading the development of a new generation of low solvent or solvent-
free decorative paints.
For example, in Europe, changes to existing limits on Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which react with nitrogen
oxides present in the atmosphere to erode the ozone layer, went into effect on January 1, 2010 and regulation under the
VOC Solvents Emissions Directive remains stringent.
Industry players will have to continue to pioneer new low VOC coatings solutions specifically engineered to improve
environmental performance and emphasis will be placed on paints designed to reduce potential health risks associated
with harmful emission.
For example, Akzo Nobel, currently receives up to 22% of its revenues from eco-premium products. The company aims
to increase this share to 30% by 2015. Competition is heightened within the market, as companies fight for a portion of
this new direction for the market.
Exit barriers are high: many major tangible assets are highly specific to their market, and thus harder to divest. In this
situation, players are strongly motivated to remain in the market, even when conditions are difficult, which boosts rivalry.
However, as major industry players are highly diversified in terms of their production, rivalry in the paints and coatings
market is alleviated to an extent. For example, Akzo Nobel and BASF operate in many areas of the chemicals and
chemical products industry.
As the paints and coatings market is cyclical and highly affected by macroeconomic conditions, rivalry tends to increase
in times of economic struggle. However, good market performance in recent years alleviates rivalry to soem degree.
The threat of rivalry is assessed as moderate overall.
