Wood Coatings Market 2030: The Rise of Eco-Friendly Formulations

Global Wood Coatings Market Overview

The global wood coatings market was valued at USD 11.8 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 15.96 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2025 to 2030. The market growth is driven by increasing demand for home furniture, heightened consumer focus on aesthetics, and the recovery of the housing market worldwide.

Wood coatings enhance the aesthetic appeal and durability of wooden products by protecting against UV radiation, moisture, temperature changes, and abrasion. This prolongs the lifespan of furniture, flooring, decks, and cabinetry, reducing warping, rot, and decay—especially critical for outdoor applications.

There is a rising shift towards eco-friendly, low-VOC, and bio-based formulations. For example, Synthos launched its bio-based acrylic dispersion SYNEXIL AW90CX in 2022, targeting transparent and pigmented coatings.
