Indian construction chemical market size expected to expand significantly over the next five years

 

After the effects of the pandemic outbreak started to subside, the Indian construction market has posted a strong growth recovery. The trend has further continued in H1 2023 on the back of higher government spending and housing construction activities. This growth in the broader construction market has also aided the growth of other construction-related industries, including construction chemical market. Firms in the segment, including those operating in the decorative paints category have showcased positive performance in terms of sales and volume growth in Q1 2023.

The positive performance during the quarter has been largely driven by factors such as premium product offerings, distribution expansion, and new launches. Furthermore, the ease in prices of raw materials have also aided margin expansion for players in the decorative paints market in India.

·         Asian Paints, the leading firm in the Indian decorative paints market, reported a 44% rise in Q1 2023 profits. The quarterly profit reached INR 12.58 billion compared to INR 8.74 billion last year. Revenue from operations reached INR 87.87 billion compared to INR 78.92 billion in the same quarter last year. This represents a growth of 11.3% during the period.

·         Kansai Nerolac Paints, another player in the decorative paints market, also reported a robust set of numbers in Q1 2023. The consolidated net profit for the firm reached INR 960.24 million in Q1 2023 compared to 190.17 million in Q1 2022. This represents a growth of 401.56% year over year.

·         Berger Paints, on the other hand, reported a decline of 15.8% in its quarterly profit during the period. The profits came in at INR 1.85 billion in Q1 2023 compared to INR 2.2 billion in Q1 2022. While the profits were down, the revenue surged 11.7% during the quarter. The firm posted a revenue of INR 24.43 billion compared to INR 21.87 billion in the last year.

In the coming future, volume growth for Berger Paints is expected to be driven by dealer expansion, new product launches, and capacity expansion. The firm  is planning to increase its production capacity from 620 million liters to 1.1 billion liters. Kansai Nerolac Paints, on the other hand, has also announced an investment of INR 2.9 billion to increase the capacity to 600 million liters.

Asian Paints has also announced a capital expenditure of INR 80 billion to expand its production capacity. Currently, Asian Paints has a capacity of 1.75 billion liters, which, post-expansion, will increase to 2.63 billion liters. For Asian Paints, Q1 2023, growth was driven by initiatives such as influencer outreach, digital interventions, and new product launches, among other things. Although the entry of Grasim Industries is expected to impact the growth of smaller players in the decorative paints category, ConsTrack360 expects the growth momentum for Asian Paints to continue in H2 2023.
