Market Insights

"The South African concrete floor coatings market is likely to grow at a promising CAGR of 5.1% over the next five years to reach a value of US$ 64 million in 2027."

Floor coatings are tough protective layers used to protect concrete floors from wear and tear, corrosion, and harsh chemicals. They are also used to decorate floors by brightening or defining certain areas and to cover stained concrete. The South African concrete floor coatings market experienced an impressive growth of 15.8% in 2021 and is estimated to maintain its growth momentum (5.1% CAGR, value basis) over the next five years to reach a value of US$ 64 million in 2027. However, in terms of volume, the market experienced a huge decline of -17% in 2020 from 2019. The huge difference in value and volume growth is due to a spike in the price of materials in the wake of the demand-supply gap.

In terms of value, the market was not much affected by the pandemic and experienced decent growth in 2020. However, due to a lack of demand and supply shortage, the market declined at a rapid pace in terms of volume. There has been a significant increase in the price of raw materials, particularly epoxy, over the last two years, resulting in a significant change in market dynamics in terms of value and volume.
