According to Markets and Markets the global market for wood coatings is expected to grow from 3.3 million tons in 2019 to 3.9 million tons by 2024, at an annual growth rate of 3.7 %. They also expect demand for wood coatings to be strongly influenced by environmental legislation and economic constraints in the construction industry.

根据《市场与市场》的预估，到2024年,全球木器涂料市场预计,从2019年的330万吨增长390万吨,年增长率为3.7%.此外,木器涂料的需求将受到建筑行业环境立法及经济限制的强烈影响.

 

With the increase in the residential sector, the market for wood coatings has experienced significant growth. The growth of the residential sector has led to the emergence of Do-It-Yourself (DIY) coatings. The market researchers expect the market for wood coatings to continue to grow as this do-it-yourselfers increasingly look for unique projects that include wood stains and surfaces.

住宅行业的发展导致了DIY涂料的出现。市场研究人员预计,随着这些DIY人士对木材染色及木制表面等特殊项目的需求,木材涂料的市场将继续增长.

 

Wood coatings growth depends on buildings market

The global market for wood coatings has experienced an upswing since 2009. This is due to the large number of new buildings following the economic downturn. There is a considerable amount of renovation and conversion work going on worldwide. In 2019, the Asia-Pacific region had a volume share of around 46 % of the total market, followed by North America and Europe with 27 % and 17 % respectively.

自2009年以来，全球木材涂料市场销量经历了回升。这归功于经济衰退后大量新建筑的耸立及全球范围内相当数量的翻新及改装工作的进行.2019年,亚太地区占据全球木器涂料销量的46%,其次是北美和欧洲，分别为27%和17%。

However, the wood coatings market in the industrialised countries is saturated, so that it will probably grow more slowly. The market in the emerging countries, such as China and India, is expected to grow more strongly in the next five years.

然而,工业化发达国家的木器涂料市场已经趋近饱和,故而增长缓慢;诸如中国,印度等工业新兴国家在未来5年里,预计增长更为强劲.

 

Wood coatings manufacturers expect stagnation.

The development forecasts of the industry players are more cautious. For Dr Arne Deußen from the company Oskar Nolte, the market is relatively stable, although developments in individual application and customer segments are quite different. Steffen Rüdiger of Rütgers Organics classifies the current situation as follows: "There is stagnation in wood coatings and glazes. It can be assumed that the demand among existing customers will decrease. Window renovations are tending to become less.”

For Alexander Eisenacher of Alfred Clouth Lackfabrik, the market for wood coatings also continues to be difficult. "According to our estimates, the sales volume in the overall market for wood coatings will be around 3 % below the previous year’s level - without the additional economic effects of the Corona virus.”

Jens Hesse from Hesse Lignal is quite satisfied with the current development, but limits the statement: "This is by no means due to a dynamic market development. It is rather stagnating, partly declining. In the craft trade sector, for example, declining demand is the order of the day, replacement surfaces are often a welcome uncomplicated alternative to painted surfaces”.

木材涂料制造商做出销量停滞不前的预判.

业内人士对木器涂料市场的发展做出更为谨慎的预测.

对Oskar Nolte的Arne Deußen博士来说,市场相对稳定,但在个人应用及细分客户应用的进展各异;

Rütgers Organics的Steffen Rüdiger将现时情况归类为:木器涂料及釉料市场停滞不前,预计现有客户的需求量会减少,窗户翻新业务也在减少;

对Alfred Clouth Lackfabrik的Alexander Eisenacher来说, ‘木器涂料市场仍然比较困难,根据我方估计,即便不考虑新冠肺炎的影响,整个木涂料市场的销售额仍然将比前一年的水平低3%左右’.

Hesse Lignal的Jens Hesse对现有发展相当满意,但是仍有保留的认为:这绝不可以归咎于市场的动态发展.眼下市场比较停滞不前,销量甚至还在下降,拿工艺行业来举例,需求下降非常司空见惯的事,相比于表面重涂,换掉表面材料更简单,更受欢迎.

 

Wood construction more popular

The wood coatings manufacturers still see potential in the market. "Wood construction seems to be becoming more popular overall,”summarises Rüdiger briefly. He sees further potential in wood facades with greying glazes. For Deußen the substrate wood is attractive as a renewable raw material and could win in favour of other substrates due to the sustainability issue. "We mainly coat wood-based materials, which often have an even better ecological balance sheet. Here we are in a position to provide high-quality consulting and development services in the coordination of substrate surfaces with machine requirements and our coatings,”explains Deußen.

然而,木材涂料制造商仍然看到了市场潜力,”木建筑变得越来越流行了”Rüdiger简要总结到,他认为带灰色釉质的木墙更具潜力.对Deußen来说,衬底木作为可再生原料,在可持续发展问题面前,和其他基材相比,更具吸引力..我们专注木制材料涂层,因为其更具生态平衡性.我们可以根据基底表面,机器要求等,提供高质量的咨询及研发服务.

 

For Deußen, the furnishing trend is towards less and less or smaller furniture - which is more than compensated for by the strong interest rate trend in construction and renovation. "For years now, customers have been shifting their markets to Eastern Europe. We expect this to continue. On the market side, medium-sized industrial customers are losing out to small, flexible manufacturers and joineries or to efficient large-scale producers,” says Deußen.

According to Hesse, natural-looking surfaces are still in vogue, whether oiled or lacquered. Dull matt and scratch-resistant surfaces, achieved with classic paint systems or with eximer technology, underpin this trend. "And apparently, the wave of oak and white lacquer is over, things are getting more colourful - these are our impressions of the Cologne furniture fair,” says Hesse.

对Deußen来说,,装饰趋势是朝着越来越少或小家具,这是由于建筑及翻新行业的高利率倾向而导致的.多年来,客户将市场转向东欧,我们预计这种情况会持续.市场方面,中型行业客户要么输给了小而灵活的生产商/细木工,要么输给高效的大型生产商.Deußen如是说.

据Hesse说，天然外观的表面,不管是上油的还是上漆的,都还十分流行.通过传统涂料技术系统或eximer技术实现的无光泽和抗刮擦的表面,更加巩固了这一流行.很明显,橡木和白漆的热潮已经过去,家具颜色变得更加丰富多彩---这是我们对科隆家具展的印象.

 

For Rüdiger, there is a trend towards oils, waxes and mineral paints - in other words, products with a biological background. "Greying glazes with and without a metallic effect are still popular. There is also a trend away from thick-film products towards thin and medium-film products. Products with a matt surface are also becoming more popular,” Rüdiger describes.

Jens Hesse says that potential in a declining market can only be developed with solutions that have a high market relevance. For example, solutions that increase customer efficiency. "We are able to paint even deep 3D profiles with efficient rolling applications and thus avoid spray applications. Solutions that enable previously unattained qualities, such as brushed oak parquet with completely protected pores,” explains Hesse. But innovative solutions alone are not enough, new service concepts such as partner programs are essential components, Hesse adds.

对Rüdiger来说,有一种趋势是转向油、蜡和矿物颜料——换句话说，是有生物背景的产品;灰色釉料,不管是金属的还是非金属的,仍然都很受欢迎;产品也有从厚膜产品转向薄膜和中膜产品的趋势;哑光表面的产品也变得越来越受欢迎，Rüdige如此描述.

Jens Hesse表示，在一个不断下滑的市场中，只有具有高度市场相关性的解决方案才能发挥潜力。例如，提高客户效率的解决方案。“我们能够通过高效的滚动喷涂来喷涂甚至更深的3D轮廓，从而避免了喷涂。解决方案实现了以前未达到的品质，如毛孔被全面保护的拉丝橡木拼花地板.”Hesse解释说。但是，仅仅有创新的解决方案是不够的，新的服务概念，如合作伙伴计划是必不可少的组成部分，Hesse补充说。
