How is the Development of smart points bolstering the Sales of Paints and Coating?
Today, we live surrounded by smart technology, from TVs to garage door openers. With the use of conductive paint, a wall may now be transformed into a smart device. The term smart house has lately taken on a whole new meaning to a paint that researchers recently developed that can transform any wall into a touchscreen.
This paint contains a conductive nickel grid that forms electrodes on the wall. The wall can thus function as an electromagnetic sensor, or touchscreen, tracking the position, spotting things, and responding to gesture commands. All smart gadgets can be controlled from the wall when this technology is made commercially available.
Potentially, the walls might act as a control interface for home equipment, making smart homes less intrusive, more affordable, and more efficient than they are now. This innovation will be expected to create a lucrative opportunity for the paints and coating industry in the forecast period.

How Increasing Stringent Environmental Regulations affecting the market growth?
The paints & coating industry is one of the most regulated industries in the world. Manufacturers have been forced to adopt low-solvent technology for the past 40 years and will continue to do so. One of the biggest challenges is that there are strict environmental regulations because volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are present in almost all paints and coatings. Reducing VOC content, replacing it, and ensuring consistent performance is a constant challenge for the industry.
In particular, environmental regulations on the use of non-degradable substances and chemically treated products are strengthened due to the generation of hazardous substances used near the human body. Manufacturers are under pressure to comply with the new regulations by changing raw materials or their composition, manufacturing processes, or switching to greener materials, including biopolymers, which sometimes affect their operating margins.
In addition, the supply of certain raw materials may be restricted by regulations in one or more regions through which the chain passes. All these factors could create an imbalance of supply to meet consumer demand, limiting the growth of the paints and coatings market to some extent.
