Challenges and Development Trends Facing the Coatings Industry
2025-09-16 17:13:38
Against the backdrop of the continued strengthening of the "Dual Carbon" policy and the pressure from consumption upgrades for product iteration, the coatings industry is undergoing unprecedented transformation. Stricter environmental regulations, fluctuating raw material costs, and diversified functional demands are the three major challenges facing the industry. Dolomite powder, a mineral filler that combines environmental friendliness with functionality, is offering coatings companies a breakthrough path to "cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and performance upgrades" with its unique advantages.
1. Green Development
With the strengthening of environmental protection policies, the coatings industry is accelerating its green transformation. Companies are focusing on reducing the carbon footprint of production and operations and promoting the development of low-volatile organic compound (VOC) products.
2. Functional Upgrade
Consumers' functional demands for coatings are gradually outweighing their decorative needs. Coatings with properties such as conductivity, low odor, antibacterial and antiviral properties, stain resistance, air purification, and reflective and energy-saving properties are becoming increasingly popular.
3. Digital Upgrade
Coatings companies are leveraging digital and intelligent technologies to build a "fast, efficient, and cost-effective" supply chain, improving operational efficiency. They are also leveraging digital media and platforms to build integrated marketing networks and enhance brand awareness and strength.
