Paint Industry
An Overview
The paint industry worldwide is classified into 2 segment viz. decorative and industrial
segment in India constitutes nearly 70% of the market whereas the scenario is just the
reverse in the developed countries.
Decorative Segment is dominated by the unorganised sector which now accounts for
70% of the total paint production as against 75% three to four ago. The unorganised
sector has an advantage over the organised sector since it is fully exempted from the
20% excise duty and other government levies.

INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE
The paint industry is a raw material - intensive one with over 300 input going into the
manufacturing process. Half of these are petro based. The raw materials for paints maybe classified into 5 segment---
pigments, solvents, binders, additives and white cement/urea and account for roughly50% of total cost. Hence the industry's profit are sensitive to international price rises.When the international prices of petrochemical products comes down, the paintscompanies benefit and vice versa.
With raw material prices and tarrifs expected to come down in the next few years theorganised sector's operating profit and margins should go up substantially.Most companies are hit by the fact that they do not make the raw material themselves.
PAN which is manufactured from Ortyhoxylene and which goes into the production of paints with titanium dioxide, is only manufactured by Asian paints. The other paintmajors import their stock. Since PAN prices generally outpace international orthoxyleneprices by almost 50% paint Companies end up paying huge price when the price rise.For instance in Aug 1994 when the price of Ortyhoxylene shot up form Rs 24/ Kg to Rs35 per Kg, the Pan prices surged from Rs 38/Kg, to Rs77/Kg.

PRODUCTION
This is because of the longer processing time required in the paint industry when paint
is manufactured in smaller batches the production falls. Most of the plant operate at50% capacity with the exception of Berger paints which manages a capacity utilisationof around 70%. The main reason for this is that it has strong presence in the premiumenamel and emulsion segment and does not switch between decorative and industrialpaint like the other manufactures.
There is tremendous potential for the paints manufacturers in India because as againstan average percapita consumption of paints in India is very less. Economic liberalisationis attracting international giants like BASF Germany,
Curtlauds UK and Jotun Norway. Jotun, has announced plans to set up a powder
coating plant, while International Paints UK, intends to set up a marine paints plants.Since decorative paints are a consumer product Sales are price elastic any change inthe government policy on the excise duty has a direct bearing on the sales. Over thelast 4 years, the government has reduced the excise duty from a peak of 40% tocurrent 20%.
The entire benefit of the duty reduction has been passed to the consumer which has notonly enabled this segment to come out of the recession but also enabled the organisedsector to increase its market share at the expanse of organised sector. The share of organised sector has increased from 20% To 25% as a result of reduction in exciseduty.
Distribution channel plays an important role in the industry. Awareness and perceptionof specific brand is more important than the corporate brand equity. Asian Paints, themarket leader has around 16,000 dealers in its network which are spread across thecountry. Goodlass nerolac comes second with around 9,000 dealers.

TURNOVER
Over the next few years, the ratio of industrial paints to decorative paints is
expected to be 50:50, more in line with the global trend. Currently it is 30:70.
With the decorative segment bottoming out, companies are increasingly focusing
on industrial paints
_ Demand for paints from new housing is expected to constitute approximately 30percent of total demand; the rest comes in from repainting, mainly after themonsoon
rains and before the festive season. This is a function of disposableincome, so
improvement in rural incomes will boost the growth in the paint sector.
Lending institutions continue to make it easier for a consumer to gather up thefinances
needed to buy homes
Within the decorative coatings segment, considerable growth is being observed inthe
exterior coatings segment.
Paint manufacturers have launched premiumproducts in this category which are doing
well due to superior quality and DURABILITY

INDUSTRY PRACTICIES
PRICINCING
y The industry is raw-material intensive. Of the 300 odd raw materials, nearly half
of them are imported petroleum products. Thus, any deficit in global oil reserves
affects the bottomline of the players.
y The major raw materials titanium dioxide, phthalic anhydride and peutarithrithol
constitute 50 per cent of the total cost. Besides, this, there are other raw
materials such as castor, linseed and soybean oils, turpentine. The raw materials
cost sums up to a whopping 70 per cent. Any increase in the prices of these raw
materials could adversely affect paint prices.
y Most of the paint majors have to import nearly 30 per cent of their raw material
requirements thus changes in import policies can affect the industry.
y The prices of packing materials such as HDPE, BOPP and tinplate have reduced
considerably. However, the decision of the Central Government to ban import of
tinplate waste could lead to a spurt in the prices of the tinplate in the near future
DISTRIBUTION
y On product lines, paints can be differentiated into decorative or architectural
paints and industrial paints. While the former caters to the housing sector, the
automotive segment is a major consumer of the latter. Decorative paints can
further be classified into premium, medium and distemper segments. Premium
decorative paints are acrylic emulsions used mostly in the metros. The medium
range consists of enamels, popular in smaller cities and towns. Distempers are
economy products demanded in the suburban and rural markets. Nearly 20 per
cent of all decorative paints sold in India are distempers and it is here that the
unorganised sector has dominance. Industrial paints include powder coatings,
high performance coating and automotive and marine paints. But two-thirds of
the industrial paints produced in the country are automotive

The market can be further split into decorative paints and industrial paints. The demand
for decorative paints is highly price-sensitive and also cyclical. Monsoon is a slack
season while the peak business period is Diwali festival time, when most people repaint
their houses. The industrial paints segment, on the other hand, is a high volume-low
margin business. In the decorative segment, it is the distribution network that counts
while in the industrial segment the deciding factor are technological superiority and tie-
up with automobile manufacturers for assured business.
APIL dominates the decorative segment with a 38 per cent market share. The company
has more than 15,000 retail outlets and its brands Tractor , Apcolite, Utsav , Apex and
Ace are entrenched in the market. GNPL, the number-two in the decorative segment,
with a 14 per cent market share too, has now increased its distribution network to10,700 outlets to compete with APIL effectively. Berger and ICI have 9 per cent and 8
per cent shares respectively in this segment followed by J&N and Shalimar with 1 and 6
per cent shares.

Technology collaboration
All the paint majors have tie-ups with global paint leaders for technical know-how. AsianPaints has formed a JV with PPG Industries Inc to service the automotive OEMs.
Berger has a series of tie-ups for various purposes. It has a technical tie-up with
Herbets Gmbh of Germany in addition to its joint venture with Becker Industrifag. With
the agreement with Herbets coming to an end in 2001, Berger has now allied with the
Japanese major Nippon Paints to boost its OEM turnover since the Indian roads are
being flooded with Japanese automobiles. It also has an agreement with Orica Australia
Pvt. Ltd. to produce new generation protective coatings. The company also has tie-upswith Valspar Corp and Teodur BV for manufacturing heavy duty and powder coatings.
Incidentally, ICI makes paints with the technical support of Herbets, which has been
recently acquired by by E I Du Pont de Nemours of the US. Interestingly, Du Pont,
which is a leader in automotive coatings in the US, has a technical tie-up with Goodlass

Nerolac for the manufacture of sophisticated coatings for the automotive sector.
Goodlass also has technical collaborations with Ashland Chemcials Inc, USA, a leader
in the petrochemical industry, Nihon Tokushu Toryo Co and Oshima Kogyo Co Ltd,
Japan.
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT OF PAINT INDUSTRY
Supply chain management (SCM) is the process of planning, implementing and
controlling the operations of the supply chain as efficiently as possible. Supply Chain
Management spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process
inventory, and finished goods from point-of-origin to point-of-consumption. In essence,
Supply Chain Management integrates supply and demand management within and
across companies. More recently, the loosely coupled, self-organizing network of businesses that cooperates to provide product and service offerings has been called the

TECHNOLOGY
If the global Goliaths are foraying into the Indian paints market aggressively, the Indian
paint companies are also spreading their wings. Asian Paint exports its paints to over 15
countries. It also has joint ventures in Fiji, Tonga, Nepal, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Australia, Oman and Mauritius. In October 1999 it acquired 76 per cent equity stake in
Delmege Gorsyth & Co (Paints) Ltd, the second largest paint company in Sri Lanka with
a 12 per cent market share in Sri Lanka's Paint Industry. Within a short span of just five
years, the company has emerged as the number one player in these markets.
MARKET TRENDS
The recession in the construction and automobile sector had thrown in shades of grey
across the Industry spectrum, but the revival in these sectors is cause for cheer for the
paint industry as well. The balance sheets of the industry majors are now painted with
bright colours.

Market Potential
_ Boom in Indian Housing Sector: Increasing urbanization, cheaper housing loansand a shift from semi-permanent to permanent housing structures have beendriving growth in decorative paints segment, which constitutes 70% of the $2
billion paint industry in India _ Strong Industrial growth: An average growth of about 10% in the in automobilesector which provides 50% of the revenues in the industrial paints segment.Industrial paints account for 30% of the paint industry revenue in India
_ Heavy Infrastructure Spending: New projects in roads, ports and industrialsegments increases revenues from protective coatings for civil applications androad-marking paints to all parts of the building paints sector, whether interior,
exterior, waterproofing or floor coatings.
Segments:
On product lines, paints can be differentiated into decorative or architectural paints and
industrial paints. While the former caters to the housing sector, the automotive segment
is a major consumer of the latter. Decorative paints can further be classified into
premium, medium and distemper segments. Premium decorative paints are acrylic
emulsions used mostly in the metros. The medium range consists of enamels, popular
in smaller cities and towns. Distempers are economy products demanded in the
suburban and rural markets. Nearly 20 per cent of all decorative paints sold in India are
distempers and it is here that the unorganised sector has dominance. Industrial paintsinclude powder coatings, high performance coating and automotive and marine paints.
But two-thirds of the industrial paints produced in the country are automotive paints.
Decorative and industrial paints are the segments within the sector, in a 70:30
proportion. Brand equity, a wide range of shades, distribution strength and efficient
working capital management are key success factors in the decorative paints segment.
A strong distribution network acts as an entry barrier.Within the decorative segment,
enamel is the largest sub-segment, accounting for over 50%, followed by wall finishes,
primers and wood finishes. The season for decorative paints is from October to March,
a period characterised by festivals like Diwali, and the summer, when painting is
normally carried out.
The industrial segment pertains mainly to automobiles. In this segment, technological
competence, product range and customised solutions are of utmost importance.
8/9/2019 Paint Industry in Indi1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/paint-industry-in-indi1 16/29
16
Technological strength is another entry barrier. The slowdown in the automobile sector
has affected the overall growth of the industrial segment, as the former contributes
around 50% of the latter's revenues.
Other sub-segments are marine paints, powder coatings for white goods like
refrigerators and washing machines, and industrial coatings.Within the paints sector, the
proportion of the industrial paints segment is likely to increase in the next few years and
the ratio is likely to become 50:50.
The demand for decorative paints is highly price-sensitive and also cyclical. Monsoon is
a slack season while the peak business period is Diwali festival time, when most people
repaint their houses. The industrial paints segment, on the other hand, is a high volume-
low margin business. In the decorative segment, it is the distribution network that counts
while in the industrial segment the deciding factor are technological superiority and tie-up with automobile manufacturers for assured business.
The share of industrial paints in the total paint consumption of the nation is very low
compared to global standards. It accounts for 30 per cent of the paint market with 70
per cent of paints sold in India for decorative purposes. In most developed countries,
the ratio of decorative paints vis-Ã -vis industrial paints is around 50:50. But, with the
decorative segment bottoming out, companies are increasingly focussing on industrial
paints. The future for industrial paints is bright. In the next few years, its share would go
up to 50 per cent, in line with the global trend

distempers and it is here that the unorganised sector has dominance. Industrial paints
include powder coatings, high performance coating and automotive and marine paints.
But two-thirds of the industrial paints produced in the country are automotive paints.
RAW MATERIAL OF PAINT INDUSTRY
The paint industry is raw material-intensive, in terms of value and quantity of raw
materials used. Raw material costs account for around 70% of total production costs.
Imports constitute around 30% of the raw material requirements. The most critical raw
materials used are titanium dioxide (TD) (rutile and anatase grades), phthalic anhydride
(PAN) and pentaerithrithol (PENTA). Some other raw materials like castor oil, soyabean
oil, linseed oil and mineral turpentine are also used. Increasing prices of raw materials,
on the one hand, and the inability to pass on the price increases from recession and
competitive pressure, on the other, are major areas of concern. Of the 300 raw
materials (30% petro-based derivatives), nearly half of them are imported petroleum
products. Thus, any deficit in global oil reserves affects the bottomline of the players
Demand for paints comes from two broad categories:
Decoratives :
· . Decorative paint's market size stands at around Rs 32.5 Bn. Asian paints is thismarket leader in this segment· Under this segment it offers Painting Guide, Painting Solution, Paint Calculator andPaint Selector as value added decorative service.
Industrial:
Asian Paints offers 4 types of industrial coatings such as :
· P rotective Coatings - protects steel and concrete structures from the corrosive action
of harsh climates, pollution, sea spray, acids, oils and solvents.

· R oad Markings ± are used as road markers for lane as indicator of lane separation
and also as safety markers. They include ordinary road marking paint, hot applied
retroreflective thermoplastic material and retro-reflective water borne paints.
· P owder Coatings ± is used to enhance the performance of Industrial paints.
· Floor Coatings ± such paints protects the floor surface and prevents crack formation,
insect nest formation, water seepage µThe paints sector is raw material intensive, with
over 300 raw materials (30% petrol-based derivatives) involved in the manufacturing
process. Since most of the raw materials are petroleum based (ex: Titanium Dioxide),
the industry benefits from softening crude prices.

paints industry by 2007. Inorder to achieve this goal, it focused on three main areas -
building the AP brand in terms ofa new product portfolio, changing its logo and
packaging. The new AP was expected to beeven more customer-friendly and service-

PROFILE
Though man has made and used paints timelessly, chemically formulated paints first
appeared in the 18th century in Europe. Among the first to manufacture chemical paint
8/9/2019 Paint Industry in Indi1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/paint-industry-in-indi1 26/29
26
was a German colour chemist, Lewis Berger in 1760 who entered paint business in
London manufacturing dry colours using a secret process that every designer and
household coveted.
Usage: paint, today, is an axis that cuts across polymer chemistry, aerodynamics,
oenology, metallurgy, ecology, architecture and engineering touching almost every point
of modern science and technology.
From interior and exterior walls of our home , to furniture, to white goods, to any
industrial structure, any manufacturing or domestic equipments, any automobile, to any
protective coatings for plant and machinery, dams and bridges, offshore oil rigs and
even the numerous traffic signs that direct our way, hence we can view the diversity of
paints.
Conclusion
The industrial paints are slated to grow at an annual rate of 10 to 12 per cent per annum
for the next few years. The industrial paint manufacturers would benefit from the burst in
the passenger car sales. The two-wheeler industry has also registered a good show in
the current year. The commercial vehicles segment, a star performer last year with 33

per cent growth, is expected to average a growth of only 15 per cent this year. However,
the raising titanium dioxide prices and the negligible growth in agriculture this year, will
play spoilsport. Considering the past trend, the paint industry is expected to show at
least twice the growth of Indian GDP in the ensuing years. The reduction of excise
duties from a high of 40 per cent to 16 per cent in the last five years, has made the
numerous small-scale units unviable, as they no longer have a price advantage over the
organised sector. This has helped the organised paint Industry a lot. The industry is in a
consolidation phase and only those Indian paint companies with a strong technical
alliance, better distribution network and an ability to compete in the global markets
would emerge victorious in the paint war.
Berger has a series of tie-ups for various purposes:
Joint venture with Becker Industrifag.
Berger allied with the Japanese major Nippon Paints to boost its OEM turnover
Agreement with Orica Australia Pvt. Ltd. to produce new generation protectivecoatings.
Tie-ups with Valspar Corp and Teodur BV for manufacturing heavy duty and powder coatings.
