Market growth
Architectural applications in the Middle Eastern and African paint additives market are expected to grow at a rate higher than industrial applications during 2008-2020.
As the economy recovers from the slowdown, the construction activities in many of the Middle Eastern and African countries are expected to resume, leading to increased demand for paint additives in the region.
This expected growth in the number of construction projects, after the recovery of the economy, is set to boost the demand for paint additives in architectural applications in the Middle East and Africa.
Between 2008 and 2020, the volume growth of architectural applications in the Middle Eastern and African paint additives market is expected to be around 6% year-on-year.
