Paint Industry
Hundreds of billions of rupees in infrastructure investment, over 60% of the population aged under 30, falling interest rates, rising consumer
markets growing at double-digit percentages and the promise of a strong manufacturing base for exports - the list of attractions for a
coatings presence in India is by no means short.
The above are just some of the findings of IRL's new and second Profile of the Indian Paint Industry which provides up-to-date statistics
and information on the following:
 Availability of paint raw materials
 Paint production
 Paint imports and exports
 Paint consumption and per capita use
 Market segmentation by paint type and end-use sector
 Information on paint producers
 Trends in major end-user industries
 Market forecasts and growth rates
The report also includes a five-year market forecast based on estimates of the various paint sector sizes for the year 2004 to 2009. More
information on the contents of the report is given on the right.
Research for this title has included a comprehensive programme of desk and internet research, a review of all available published sources,
some 50 interviews with senior industry executives across the organised and small-scale sectors and research and discussion taken from
attendance at the 22nd Indian Paint Conference held in Mumbai in January 2005.
This report will serve as a valuable tool to strategic planners, business analysts and marketing managers involved in the manufacture,
distribution and marketing of paints and coatings and their raw materials
Development of the Indian Paint Industry

IN a recent article entitled "Some Lines of Development of the Indian Paint
Industry" (Current Science, November 1935), N. Srinivasan deals with the
possibilities of developing the paint and certain allied industries in India.
There is, of course, already quite a considerable paint-manufacturing
industry in India, partly Indian owned and partly in the hands of branch
English firms, but it is contended that insufficient use is made of the raw
materials available in India, notably barytes (in Madras and Alwar), lead
and zinc ore (in Burma), titaniferous ore (in Travancore) and earth colours.
