Boston, Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — According to the latest study from BCC Research, “Bio-based Coatings: Global Markets” is expected to grow from $13.6 billion in 2025 to $22.6 billion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2030.
The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the global bio-based coatings market, focusing on manufacturers’ total revenues in constant U.S. dollars. It segments the market by product type (water-borne, solvent-borne, powder, and high solids), resin type (acrylic, alkyd, polyurethane, and others), functionality (decorative, protective, and antimicrobial), and end-use sectors (building and construction, transportation, furniture, and packaging). Additionally, it analyzes the markets in five regions: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and the Middle East and Africa. This segmentation helps identify major trends, growth drivers, and opportunities across different areas of the bio-based coatings industry.
This report is especially relevant now as industries increasingly prioritize sustainability to meet ESG goals, which is driving strong demand for bio-based coatings. Certifications such as LEED, BREEAM, IGBC, and GBC are promoting eco-friendly practices, making bio-based coatings vital in the circular economy. Governments worldwide are implementing net-zero emission strategies, and bio-based coatings help reduce carbon footprints to support these goals. At the same time, conventional coatings are facing rising costs and stricter regulations due to harmful chemicals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and microplastics. These challenges are reducing their profitability and opening opportunities for manufacturers to shift toward bio-based alternatives.
Factors driving the market’s growth include:
Sustainability Initiatives by Public Companies: Public companies are increasingly adopting bio-based coatings to align with sustainability goals, reduce environmental impact, and meet investor expectations around ESG standards. These coatings help lower carbon emissions and support eco-friendly branding.
Growing Significance of Bio-based Coatings: Bio-based coatings are becoming more important due to their low toxicity, biodegradability, and compliance with environmental regulations. Their improved performance and growing market acceptance make them a preferred alternative to petroleum-based products.
Scientific Research in Transportation Applications: Ongoing research in transportation sectors is driving innovation in bio-based coatings, focusing on lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant materials. These coatings support fuel efficiency and sustainability in the automotive, aerospace and marine industries.
Increased Use by Countries with Net-Zero Commitments: Countries committed to net-zero emissions are promoting bio-based technologies through policies and incentives. This encourages industries to adopt bio-based coatings in infrastructure and manufacturing to meet climate goals and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
