The need for automotive OEM coatings, which cover inside car components including instrument panels, meter clusters, center clusters, speaker grills and others, will therefore rise as the number of cars produced and sold rises. This will most likely fuel the market's CAGR in the coming years.

Furthermore, the significant growth in the automotive sector, along with the rising demand for energy-efficient transportation and commercial utility vehicles, is one of the key factors anticipated to propel the growth rate of the automotive OEM coatings market due to the growing environmental concerns. Accordingly, the demand for eco-friendly and sustainable waterborne and solvent-borne coatings to paint a variety of interior components of the vehicle, such as speaker grills, meter clusters, steering wheels, door trim, instrument panels and armrest bezels, will continue to fuel the market expansion.

Additionally, numerous market expansion prospects are presented by the leading companies' rapid product releases and other advancements. To preserve their dominance and presence in the automotive OEM coatings market, the players are implementing a variety of strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, supply/distribution agreements, growth, and new product releases. For instance, on May 16, 2019, Hempel unveiled Hempaprime Shield 700 HS, a new epoxy primer. Heavy-duty machinery and trucks can be coated using this primer. This recently introduced primer is a two-component, high-solids epoxy primer with great corrosion resistance and exceptional adhesion even in the roughest situations. Additionally, even at a high dry film thickness (DFT), this primer possesses quick drying properties, fracture and wrinkle resistance, and short minimum overcoat intervals. Thus, driving the automotive OEM coatings market revenue.
