Robust Growth of Paints & Coatings Industry Fuels North America Benzyl Chloride Market
Paints and coatings are used for decorative purposes and to enhance surface properties such as corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, water resistance, appearance, and adhesion. Paints and coatings are used in various industries, including building & construction, automotive & aerospace, marine, oil & gas. The paint & coatings industry is witnessing robust growth due to the rising demand from various end-use industries, especially automotive and construction. In the automotive industry, paints and coatings are used to prevent automobiles from corrosion, color fading, acid rain, and other degradation, resulting in a longer vehicle lifespan. Nowadays, automobile manufacturers are opting for lightweight paints and coatings to achieve maximum fuel efficiency and reduce energy and water consumption. In the construction industry, paints and coatings are used to protect buildings from extreme weather conditions, UV exposure, sunlight, rain, dust, and corrosion. Benzyl chloride is used as a precursor for various chemicals that act as an intermediate in the production of paints and coatings. It is utilized in the synthesis of benzyl esters and benzyl ethers, which are commonly employed as solvents, plasticizers, and additives to modify the properties of paints and coatings. Benzyl chloride also allows the manufacturing of specialty coatings with unique characteristics such as viscosity, adhesion, durability, and enhanced performance.
The rise in global sales of electric vehicles drives the demand for high-performance automotive coatings that provide UV protection, corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, and thermal resistance. Per the International Energy Agency, the electric car market has witnessed exponential growth in the past few years, with reported global sales of more than 10 million electric cars in 2022.

According to the US Census Bureau, the total construction spending in the US accounted for US$ 740.8 billion during the first five months of 2023. The investment was spent on the development of offices, commercial spaces, transportation, highways, and streets. The growth in the global construction industry propels the demand for architectural paints and coatings. According to the American Coatings Association report published in February 2023, in 2021, the US coatings industry shipped architectural coatings worth more than US$ 14 billion, which included industrial OEM coatings worth US$ 8.7 billion and special purpose coatings—such as marine paints, military-specified coatings, and automotive refinish paints—worth US$ 4 billion. Thus, the growth of the paint & coatings industry drives the benzyl chloride market.
