Anti-Graffiti Coatings Market Segmented By Silicone, Polyurethane, Acrylics, Siloxane, Copolymers Material in Permanent, Semi-Permanent, Temporary Type as a Water Borne, Solvent Borne and Powder Coating Chemistry
The paints and coatings landscape, like any other industry, has witnessed a series of innovations adapting to dynamic customer specifications. From decorative requirements to functional uses, paints and coatings have been serving a myriad of needs coming from a diverse range of applications.
However, the demand for functional coatings has been consistently on the rise, with residential, commercial, and transportation segments at the forefront of this demand.
As property exteriors continue to bear the brunt of damages caused by natural events or deliberate attempts of defacement, the owners remain keen on investing in a wide range of solutions for protection, ranging from sturdy fences to intrusion detection technologies.
However, the trend of property exteriors being used as canvases to convey messages, commonly termed as graffiti, introduced another aspect for consideration in the spectrum of paints and coatings.
Though graffiti has emerged as one of the most powerful modern art forms, unwanted scribbling in the name of graffiti resulted in ‘visual litter’, thereby lowering the value of target exteriors and properties alike.
Consistent efforts to stave off unwanted graffiti activities are likely to pick pace, giving impetus to growth of anti-graffiti coatings market in 2019 and beyond. As ‘anti-graffiti coatings’ have outgrown the phase of being an ‘afterthought’, Persistence Market Research (PMR), in its recent research study, sheds light on underlying opportunities and challenges in the market that would help the key stakeholders in effective decision-making.

Though anti-graffiti coatings have been around for the last four decades, it’s only in the recent past that they are being considered as a ‘must-have’ in property protection apparatus.
For many years, anti-graffiti coatings weren’t being seen in the right light, as property owners used to rely on tall fences and CCTV cameras to track graffiti vandals.
However, these techniques turned out to be impractical in terms of efficacy and called for functional anti-graffiti coatings to take the front seat.
Considering the high costs of graffiti removal, both in terms of specialized consultation and cleaning services, property owners started investing in anti-graffiti coatings as an effective deterrent to such vandalism, and this trend is likely to get stronger year after year. In 2018, the anti-graffiti coatings sales were recorded at ~ 41,339 tons.

Among all the key trends brewing in the global anti-graffiti coatings landscape, use of nano materials to synthesize newer formulations of anti-graffiti coatings continues to be in the spotlight.
The trend of using nanoparticles for development of various functional coating types has been in practice since a long time, and the trend started making its way toward the spectrum of anti-graffiti coatings.
Manufacturers active in the anti-graffiti coatings market are vying to keep up with this trend by making extensive use of nanomaterials, such as nano-silver, photo-catalytically active nano-titanium dioxide or nano-silica dioxide, and others, in order to refine quality, boosting water repellency, enhancing scratch resistance, and improve the anti-microbial properties.
‘Low-VOC’ and ‘Eco-Friendly’ to Enhance the Degree of Marketability
Increasing number of stringent regulations put in place for curbing harmful emissions and massive shift towards non-hazardous formulations are two among the key factors boosting adoption of ‘low-VOC’ and ‘eco-friendly’ anti-graffiti coatings.
This increase in demand for low-VOC and eco-friendly coatings is, in turn, enhancing the visibility of water- and powder-based formulations over the solvent-based ones, encouraging manufacturers to include a new line of environment-friendly coatings for a wide variety of substrates.
As the market of anti-graffiti coatings reflects nascency and is ripe for disruption in the coming years, the number of companies entering into the market is also likely to see an uptick.
Roll-out of new product varieties and incorporation of latest technologies in the existing portfolio is likely to be a launchpad for successful expansion in anti-graffiti coatings market.
