“The year 2021 came with a new situation: limited availability of raw material. Many industries have been challenged by the COVID-19 and will continue to be and the paint and decorative coatings industry is no different. Packaging and raw material supply constraints, along with peaks in demand for products have significantly impacted capacities in the entire industry,” says Calin Somcutean, country commercial director of Fabryo.
The decorative paints and coatings market was relatively stable in terms of volumes ad slightly higher, almost 1%, in value last year, Fabryo officials say citing an Interbiz survey.
