Drivers and Trends: Booming Tourism and Hospitality Sector
The government provided a significant portion of the funding for Dubai’s infrastructure building, which sparked a boom in the tourism and hospitality industries. These expenditures have been done with the twin goals of luring tourists and preparing the nation for the international event Dubai Expo 2020, which was completed in March 2022, anticipating foreign investments in the country. The “Dubai Tourism Strategy 2025” and the “Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan” are two such policies that seek to expand the number of visitors that visit Dubai and enhance the nation’s tourism and hospitality infrastructure by 134%, therefore bolstering the UAE’s tourism and hospitality sector in the GCC region. Additionally, the World Travel and Tourism Council forecasts that the UAE’s travel and tourism industry would produce 72 billion USD in revenues and contribute 12.7% to GDP by 2027. Thus, it is anticipated that the growth of the GCC decorative paints market is expected to boost in the upcoming years 2024-2028F.
Urbanization and Nuclearization of Families
The increase in urbanisation and the nuclearization of families have increased demand for new homes, offices, retail locations, hotels, and other types of infrastructure. These locations require painting and coating for safety, aesthetics, and maintenance. In addition, because of urbanisation, people’s lifestyles and ambitions are changing, and they are looking for more aesthetically pleasant and visually appealing living and work places. To enhance the image of major cities, there is a growing need for decorative paints that offer a range of colours, textures, and finishes. For instance, the current population of UAE is 9,516,871, which is a 0.8% increase as compared to 2022. In 2022, the population of UAE was 9,441,129, which has a 0.81% increase from 2021, in 2021, the population of UAE was 9,365,145, a 0.84% increase from 2020. Additionally, the population of Saudi Arabia in 2023 is 36,947,025, which is a 1.48% rise from 2022 as well as the population of Saudi Arabia in 2022 was 36,408,820, a 1.28% increase from 2021. As a result, the decorative paint industry is expected to expand as urbanization increases the demand for housing. Moreover, the demand for decorative paints is also increasing in the GCC region during 2024-2028F.
Challenges: Intensive Dependence on Raw Material
Raw materials are essential for producing decorative paint products. The operations and profitability of the decorative paints market are significantly impacted by the cost, quality, and availability of raw materials, which are necessary components used in the manufacturing of paints and coatings. The availability of raw ingredients including pigments, resins, solvents, and additives determines the quantity of paint and coating that can be produced. Any interruption or shortage in the supply of raw materials can have a direct impact on the decorative paints market’s capacity to meet consumer demand and finish orders on time. Raw materials play a key part in the decorative paints market due to their critical role in the manufacturing process, effect on product quality and performance, cost consequences, regulatory compliance, and innovation.
Impact of COVID-19
The primary industries such as construction, automotive, and oil refinery are the major contributors to the economic growth of such nations. Gulf countries are important producers of crude oil and natural gas. Lockdowns and other social restrictions, such as social restrictions and quarantining, were enacted by the governments of Gulf nations to stop the spread of virus. According to a report, these restrictions had a negative effect on how these industries operated because there was a labour shortage in manufacturing facilities, the decline in global oil demand resulted in a reduction in oil supplies to major exporters, and construction activities was stopped. For instance, the output of the construction sector for 2020 declined by 10.4% in UAE country.
