Asia-Pacific dominates this global market, accounting for the largest share in overall consumption in 2012. North America and Europe remained second and third largest markets for these additives, respectively. North America, owing to its recovering construction, industrial and automotive sectors, has given the market for additives comfortable room for growth. However, struggling growth in the economy of the European region is expected to keep the growth in demand for these additives far below the global average. In recent years, Asia-Pacific has registered a strong demand for coating additives, and this trend is expected to continue in the near future, driven by China and India. The high demand from the Middle East region is due to large investment in its construction sector.
