CII Surface & Coating Expo 2025

The global industrial coatings market was valued at USD 89.70 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2024 to 2030. The Asia Pacific region leads the market, contributing over 42.9% of global revenue, driven by rapid industrialization and strong demand from the automotive and vehicle refinish sectors in countries like India, Japan, and South Korea.
In India, the surface and coating industry is experiencing accelerated growth, fueled by infrastructure development, urbanization, and shifting consumer demands. Key segments include architectural and decorative coatings, protective coatings, and industrial coatings. As of 2024, the Indian paints and coatings market is valued at USD 9.56 billion and is expected to reach USD 15 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 9.38%. Some forecasts suggest even higher growth, between 12% and 15% annually through 2027, supported by robust economic growth and increased activity in the construction and infrastructure sectors.

To highlight the immense potential and innovation within this sector, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is organizing the CII Surface & Coating Expo 2025 from 17 - 19 July 2025 at the Chennai Trade Centre, Nandambakkam, Chennai.
