EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The global paints and coatings market size increased from US$42.2 billion in 2007 to US$49.2 billion in
2011, reflecting a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.90% during the review period (2007–
2011). The demand for paints and coatings across the world suffered a brief setback in 2009 due to the
global economic recession, and the global market size of paints and coatings decreased by 5.9% in 2009
compared to 2008. However, the global paints and coatings market recovered strongly and grew by 7.9%
in 2010. This growth was fueled by the high demand generated in the Asia-Pacific region, especially from
China. During the review period, the value of paints and coatings increased at a CAGR of 3.12% in Latin
America, and at a CAGR of 2.07% in Middle East. Meanwhile, the value of paints and coatings declined
in Europe, at a CAGR of -3.65%, and in North America, at a CAGR of -1.13%.
In developing countries, such as those in the Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Eastern Europe and the Middle
East, there will be an increasing number of new residential buildings and commercial buildings
constructions during the forecast period (2012–2016). The new buildings constructions will be driven by
the developing countries‟ rising population, growing urbanization, increasing average disposable income
and improved access to credit facilities. The amount of construction activities has also been recovering in
developed countries such as the US, Japan and most of the Western European countries. Due to the
increased construction activity there will be an increase in demand for global paints and coatings during
the forecast period. Timetric expects the global paints and coatings market will increase at a CAGR of
7.10% over the forecast period in value terms and at a CAGR of 6.60% in volume terms.
In 2011, Asia-Pacific represented the largest regional paints and coatings market, accounting for 40.7%
of the global market size with its value of US$20.0 billion. The Asia-Pacific region has been the main
growth driver of the global paints and coatings market during the review period, after recording a CAGR
of 15.84%. China has been the driving force behind the rapid expansion of the paints and coatings
market not only the Asia-Pacific region, but also across the globe. In 2011, China alone accounted for
70.7% of the Asia-Pacific paints and coatings market size and 28.8% of the global market size. Demand
for paints and coatings has increased in other Asia-Pacific countries, such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia
and Philippines, as the volume of residential construction activities in these countries has risen.
Residential construction activities in the Asia-Pacific region have increased due to the rising income
levels, shift towards nuclear families, affordable interest rates and modern attitudes to home ownership in
several countries. Several new construction activities are expected to begin in the Asia-Pacific throughout
the forecast period, and the region is expected to remain as the major growth driver of the global paints
and coatings market.
Europe constituted the largest region in the global paints and coatings market in 2007. However, during
the review period Europe lost its position as the largest region in the global paints and coating market to
the Asia-Pacific region, and instead it accounted for 27.3% of the global market size in 2011. The
European market as a whole recorded a CAGR of -3.65% during the review period, although national
growth rates varied in the region, with Poland recording the highest CAGR of 4.43% and the UK
recording the lowest CAGR of -10.42%. The reasons for the overall decline in market size of paints and
coatings in Europe are the region‟s low residential construction activity due to postponements of new
building projects and a lack of funding options for buyers, especially in countries such as the UK, Spain,
Italy, Germany, France, Hungary and the Netherlands. Apart from Poland, the Russian paints and
coatings market was the only other market within Europe to record a positive growth during the review
period. Europe is expected to recover and achieve a CAGR of 4.02% over the forecast period, although
growth will remain subdued in most of the Western European countries due to the EU sovereign debt
crisis.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The North American paints and coatings market recorded a CAGR of -1.13% during the review period.
The US accounted for 83.5% of the region‟s market size in 2011, and recorded a CAGR of -1.32% due to
the housing bubble burst following the global economic crisis which caused construction activities to
decline. As a result, the US and the rest of North America recorded a substantial fall in the number of new
commercial and residential construction projects, and there was also a large number of project
terminations and rescheduling. The Canadian market recovered partially in 2010, while the number of US
housing project start-ups recovered in 2011. The increased construction activity is anticipated to raise the
demand for paints and coatings in North America. The paints and coatings market growth has also been
bolstered by the region‟s government stimulus packages, rising employment rates and improvements in
consumer confidence. The number of construction activities in the region is expected to increase during
the forecast period and, as a result, the region‟s paints and coatings market is projected to achieve a
CAGR of 4.27% over the forecast period, and to value US$11.5 billion in 2016.
The Latin American region contains developing and high growth countries such as Argentina, Brazil,
Colombia and Mexico. Due to its current economic development, the commercial construction is
expanding in the region alongside the demand for paints and coatings. The region‟s paints and coating
market recorded a CAGR of 3.12% during the review period, with Brazil generating the fastest CAGR of
7.71%. Although Latin America recorded decline in demand for paints and coatings in 2009, the region‟s
demand recovered quickly in 2010 due to the stimulus measures and domestic demand in member
countries. The region‟s paints and coatings market size is projected to achieve a CAGR of 3.50% over
the forecast period. The increase in demand will be driven by the region‟s robust economic growth, rising
foreign direct investment (FDI) levels, increasing residential demand in urban areas, and organization of
international events including the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil.
The Middle East paints and coatings market sized US$2.1 billion in 2011, representing the smallest
regional market with a 4.2% share of the global demand. Within this, the Turkish paints and coatings
market contributed 53.5% of the regional market. The Turkish market was also the only one in the Middle
East to record a contraction in demand, at a CAGR of -1.01%, during the review period. All the other
countries in the Middle East recorded healthy growth during the review period, with Qatar registering the
highest CAGR of 9.08%. Over the forecast period, Timetric expects the Middle East market to achieve a
CAGR of 7.10%, with Turkey leading the growth through a CAGR of 7.80%. The Turkish demand for
paints and coating will be driven by an expected construction of one million housing units in Turkey per
year during the forecast period due to the country‟s persistent housing shortage.

GLOBAL PAINTS AND COATINGS ANALYSIS
3 Global Paints and Coatings Market Analysis

3.1 Global Paints and Coatings Market Overview
Architectural paints and coatings, also known as decorative paints and coatings or building paints,
are applied on the interior and exterior walls of all kinds of residential, commercial, industrial and
institutional buildings. Apart from their decorative features, architectural paints and coatings also
possess some protective features. This is especially evident for exterior architectural paints and
coatings as exterior paints help to protect the building from nature‟s extremes of rain, sun and wind.
Architectural paints and coatings are applied either professionally by contractors or directly by end-
user customers as do-it-yourself (DIY). During the review period, the demand for DIY paints and
coatings has grown at a faster rate than contractor paints across regions such as Asia-Pacific, Latin
America and the Middle East than in North America and Western Europe.
Although paints and coatings are applied across all types of buildings, the performance of the
architectural paints and coatings market is largely dependent on the construction of new residential
and commercial buildings as paints and coatings are not always regularly applied. In developed
countries paints and coatings are used on a more regular basis than in developing countries and, as
such, new construction activities have a relatively lower importance for paints and coating demand in
developed countries. The global construction industry has shown signs of recovery in 2011,
especially in residential construction, and the global paints and coatings market recorded a growth of
7.1% in value terms in the year with a value of US$49.2 billion in 2011. In terms of volume, the global
market recorded a growth of 6.7% in 2011, with demand reaching an estimated 17.7 million tons.
Developing countries have played a major role in the growth of the global architectural paints and
coatings market during the review period, as the developing countries‟ population growth, rapid
urbanization, increasing disposable income and new focus on nuclear or smaller families have all
combined to considerably raise the demand for residential construction.
The global paints and coatings market landscape has undergone considerable changes during the
review period due to the impact of the global economic crisis. As a result of the Asia-Pacific region‟s
robust growth and the simultaneous decline in the European market, Asia-Pacific overtook Europe to
become the region with the largest proportion of the world‟s leading paints and coatings market size.
Over the forecast period, the Asia-Pacific market is expected to continue growing rapidly and to
account for 48.2% of the global market size in 2016.

Architectural paints and coatings are divided into two categories: solvent-based and water-based
paints and coatings. In contrast to the overall paints and coatings industry where the solvent-based
category accounts for the larger share of total demand, the architectural paints and coatings market is
dominated by the water-based category. In 2011, the water-based paints and coatings category
accounted for 64.7% of the global architectural market size, an increase of 3.9 percentage points
over 2007. In terms of volume, the water-based category contributed 72.0% of the global architectural
market in 2011, an increase of 1.5 percentage points over 2007. The water-based category is
expected to gain market share at expense of the solvency-based category during the forecast period,
as there is a growing demand for environment-friendly paint formulations and strict regulations
passed by various governments enforcing the use of low or zero-volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
emitting paints and coatings. In addition, companies are expected to provide water-based paints and
coatings through the continued adoption of environmental labels such as Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED), Green Seal and other national and global environment labels.
Therefore, Timetric expects the water-based paints and coatings category to account for 65.8% of the
global market size and 72.4% of the global volume in 2016.
The production of paints and coatings has also been shifting towards the Asia-Pacific region, with
China emerging as the most preferred new paint production destination. The Chinese market
accounted for 27.8% of the global paints and coatings production in value terms in 2011. The global
paints and coatings production is expected to register a CAGR of 6.80% during the forecast period, to
reach a value of US$70.2 billion in 2016, with the Asia-Pacific market expected to account for 47.8%
of the global production in 2016. Meanwhile, the European share of global production is expected to
decline from 38.2% in 2007 to 24.1% in 2016, and the North American share is expected to decline
from 23.9% in 2007 to 17.7% in 2016.
In contrast to an expected global GDP growth of 3.0–4.0% per annum from 2011 to 2013, the World
Bank expects the developing countries in regions such as Asia-Pacific, Eastern and Central Europe,
Middle East and Latin America will grow at a much higher rate of 6.0–7.0%. Due to this high GDP

growth, construction activities are projected to grow at a healthy to robust pace in these regions,
which will generate additional demand for the paints and coatings markets in these region. For
example, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to achieve an increase in market size of paints and
coatings at a CAGR of 10.77% during the forecast period, while the Middle East is projected to
register a CAGR of 7.10%. The North American market is projected to achieve a CAGR of 4.27%
during the forecast period, with growth in construction activities being fostered by tax incentives
introduced under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) in 2009.

PAINTS AND COATINGS REGIONAL ANALYSIS
4 North America
4.1 North America Regional Analysis
During the review period, the North American paints and coatings market decreased in value from
US$9.8 billion in 2007 to US$9.2 billion in 2011. The declining market size of the region‟s paints and
coating industry is attributed to the reduction in construction activities in the region following the
global economic crisis. The subprime crisis that began in the US in 2007 affected the entire North
American construction industry, resulting in the annual decline of the regional paints and coating
market by 5.4% in 2008 and 1.5% in 2009. The impact of economic crisis on the paints and coatings
market was more acute in the US than in Canada. Furthermore, the US paints and coatings market
continued declining until the beginning of 2011 while the Canadian market rebounded by 3.3% in
2010.
With the impact of the global economic crisis, the North American paints and coatings market size
recorded a CAGR of -1.13% during the review period. In the same period, the US market size
recorded a CAGR of -1.32% while Canada registered a CAGR of -0.17%.
Within the North American market, the water-based paints and coatings category constituted 79.6%,
and solvent-based paints constituted 20.4%, of the regional market in 2011. The main reason for the
smaller share of the solvent-based paints and coatings category is its hazardous affect on the
environment. During the review period, environmental policies have been tightened and
environmental friendly products have been promoted, which has increased demand for the water-
based category over the solvent-based category. Over the forecast period, Timetric anticipates that
the water-based paints and coatings category will increase at a fastest rate, at a CAGR of 4.37%,
than the solvent-based paints and coatings category, at a CAGR 3.89%.
The production value of North American paints and coatings market declined marginally from
US$10.3 billion in 2007 to US$10.2 billion in 2011. The production volume of paints and coating
market also declined during the review period, from 3.0 million tons in 2007 to 2.6 million tons in
2010, due to the region‟s slowing economy and declining demand for paints and coatings.
Over the forecast period, Timetric anticipates the North American paints and coatings market will
achieve a CAGR of 4.27%. This will be contributed largely by water-based paints and coatings which
is anticipated to be the fastest-growing category, achieving a CAGR of 4.37% over the forecast
period, as opposed to the CAGR of 3.89% projected for the solvent-based category. In addition to
this, the North American construction industry is also expected to improve over the forecast period,
which will fuel the demand for the architectural paints and coatings that are widely used in the
construction industry.

4.1.1 North America paints and coatings market dynamics
The market size of paints and coatings in North America registered a decline during the review
period, at a CAGR of -1.13%. This decline was mostly due to the US recording a CAGR of -1.32%

5 Europe
5.1 Europe Regional Analysis
The European paints and coatings market size stood at US$13.4 billion in 2011. The region‟s market
size increased by 1.9% in 2011 over 2010, after recording two consecutive years of decline in 2009
and 2010. The region also recorded an increase in demand by 2.1% in 2011 over 2010 figure despite
registering a decline in volume during 2009 and 2010. The decline in 2009 and 2010 can be
attributed to the significant reduction of construction activities, especially of residential and
commercial buildings, across all European countries due to the global economic slowdown. The
market recovery in 2011 came about due to the positive growth in market size of paints and coatings
across all European countries except Spain and the UK, which was supported by the introduction of
fiscal packages and stimulus measures by governments across the region in 2010. In 2011, Russia
and Poland recorded the highest annual growth of paints and coatings market size in the region, of
7.9% and 6.8% respectively. These two countries were also the only European countries to record a
positive growth rate in the market size of paint and coatings during the review period, with Poland
recording a CAGR of 4.43% and Russia recording a CAGR of 0.66%. The high growth in Poland is
due to the country‟s persistent housing deficit which encouraged residential construction during the
review period. The other European countries recorded negative growth rates in the market size of
paints and coatings during the review period, with the UK declining the most with a CAGR of -10.42%
during the review period.
Despite losing 1.3 percentage points of the regional market share during the review period, Germany
remained the largest consumer of paints and coatings within the European region, accounting for
18.7% of the regional market size and 21.9% of the market volume in 2011. Apart from Germany, the
other significant markets in Europe include Italy with 17.2% of the regional market size and Russia
with 14.1% of the regional market size. The Russian share of the regional market size increased by
2.3 percentage points during the review period, due to its housing boom in 2000–2007. Similarly
Poland increased its market share within the region by 2.1 percentage points during the review
period, and accounted for 7.5% share of the regional market in 2011.
With most of the Western European nations passing strict environmental regulations, which will be
soon be imitated by Eastern European EU members, the solvent-based category is expected to
continue losing market share to the more environmentally friendly water-based category. As such, the
water-based category is expected to increase its market share from 48.7% in 2007 to 52.9% in 2016.
The European paints and coatings market is projected to record an annual growth of 2.7% in 2012,
although the spread of European debt crisis may reduce the growth rate. Timetric projects the
European paints and coatings market will achieve a CAGR of 4.02% during the forecast period.
Russia and Poland are expected to continue registering the fastest growth in market size of paints
and coatings during the forecast period, with expected CAGRs of 9.14% and 6.31% respectively. The
Russian paint and coatings market growth will be fueled by the government‟s proposed federal
housing program, which aims at building 67 million square meters of residential buildings by the end
of 2012, 79 million square meters of residential buildings by 2015, and 145 million square meters by
2020. The Polish paints and coatings market size is also expected to achieve robust growth over the
forecast period due to increased residential construction activities to meet the continuing housing
deficit. The commercial construction activities in Russia and Poland are also expected to increase
during the forecast period due to their hosting of major international events such as the 2012 Asia-
Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit, the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, the 2012 UEFA
Euro Tournament and the 2018 FIFA World Cup 2018. Among the developed Western European
nations, growth is expected to remain more subdued. Timetric expects Germany to achieve the

highest forecast period growth rate among developed Western European nations, at a CAGR of
3.50%, followed by France, at a CAGR of 3.03%.
In terms of production, Timetric expects Europe to record a CAGR of 3.46% over the forecast period
and to value US$16.9 billion in 2016. There will be a shift in production focus during the period, with
Central and Eastern European countries, especially Russia and Poland, expected to increase their
share of paints and coatings production over the developed Western European countries.

6 Asia-Pacific
6.1 Asia-Pacific Regional Analysis
The Asia-Pacific region contains a variety of paints and coatings markets, ranging from highly
developed and mature markets in countries such as Japan and Australia, to some of the fastest-
growing and emerging markets in countries such as China, India, Indonesia and the Philippines. The
region was the least affected by the global economic crisis, which enabled the paints and coatings
market to record a high annual growth of 10.1% during the peak of the crisis in 2009. The annual
growth rate further strengthened to 19.3% in 2010 due, in part, to economic stimulus and government
incentives in the region. In 2011, the region‟s annual growth rate was 14.3% and the paints and
coatings market sized US$20.0 billion. In terms of volume, the Asia-Pacific paints and coatings
market recorded a strong annual growth of 13.7% in 2011, to reach 6.3 million tons.
During the review period, the Asia-Pacific region‟s paints and coatings market recorded a CAGR of
15.84%, with the Chinese market driving the region‟s growth with its CAGR of 23.53%. Consequently,
China‟s share in the Asia-Pacific market increased from 54.7% in 2007 to 70.7% in 2011. The main
reasons for China‟s strong growth are the expansion of the Chinese middle-class population and the
rising urbanization level, which are increasing the demand for high quality homes in urban areas. For
example, Shanghai alone required an additional 1.3 million square meters of new residential housing
annually to house its growing population during the review period. Similarly the rising income levels of
a growing middle class, shift towards nuclear families, affordable interest rates and modern attitudes
to home ownership have encouraged residential construction activities in other Asia-Pacific emerging
countries such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines. The robust economic growth of
developing Asia-Pacific countries has also supported and sustained a strong demand for commercial
property constructions, such as modern offices, outdoor leisure facilities, hotels and shopping centers,
to meet the needs of businesses. In contrast to these developing Asia-Pacific markets, Japan and
Australia represent mature and developed paint and coatings markets with more modest review
period growth rates.
The environmental friendly water-based paints and coatings category recorded a higher CAGR of
17.54% during the review period than the solvent-based paints and coatings category, which recorded
a CAGR of 12.98%. Consequently, the water-based category increased its regional market share
from 61.3% in 2007 to 65.0% in 2011. Timetric expects this trend to continue during the forecast
period, with the water-based paints and coatings expected to record a CAGR of 11.28% compared to
the projected CAGR of 9.80% for the solvent-based category.
During the review period, the production of paints and coatings in Asia-Pacific has followed the same
trend as its market size, with an identical CAGR of 15.84%. However, over the forecast period
Timetric expects the production growth rate of paints and coatings to record a slightly lower CAGR of
10.60% than the market size growth rate at a CAGR 10.77%. Chinese share in the regional
production of paints and coatings increased from 53.5% in 2007 to 69.3% in 2011, and is further
expected to increase to 76.2% in 2016.
Over the forecast period, Timetric expects the Asia-Pacific market to continue driving the global paints
and coatings market. Furthermore, China will continue registering the largest growth rate in the
region, at an expected CAGR of 12.67% during the forecast period. Residential construction spending
is expected to increase in China, which will be supported by the country‟s rising income levels,
increasing urbanization and government efforts to improve the living conditions of low-income
earners. Indonesia will continue to be the second-fastest-growing consumer of paints and coatings in
the region, with an expected market size CAGR of 10.31% during the forecast period as compared to

its review period CAGR of 11.36%. India will register a higher demand for paint and coatings during
the forecast period than the review period, as the country is expected to demand 24.3 million new
houses in its urban areas alone. According to an estimate, India requires US$220.3 billion over the
forecast period to cater to the demand for urban housing, notwithstanding the value to cater for
housing in the country‟s semi-urban areas. Similarly, Timetric expects the Japanese paints and
coatings market to record a better performance in the forecast period than the review period, with
growth being driven by the large scale reconstruction activities following in the aftermath of the 2011
earthquake and tsunami. The construction activities in Japan will be supported by the US$2.6 billion
East Japanese Earthquake Reconstruction Program that will be spent over the next ten years. South
Korea is another important country in the Asia-Pacific region, and is expected to achieve a CAGR of
4.17% over the forecast period. In South Korea construction activities will be supported by
investments in preparation for hosting the 2012 World Exposition (World Fair) and the 2018 Winter
Olympic Games.

7 Latin America
7.1 Latin America Regional Analysis
Latin America comprises several countries in North, Central and South America which speak Latin-
based languages such as French, Portuguese and Spanish. The region contains Brazil, which is the
world‟s seventh-largest economy by nominal GDP, Argentina, Mexico and Colombia. During the last
20 years, most Latin American countries have been reforming and liberalizing their economies by
allowing foreign capital and privatization. As a result, numerous businesses have begun operating in
the region, which is enabling Latin America to become a considerable economic force. Latin
American countries, especially Brazil, Argentina and Colombia, have been successful in attracting
foreign direct investment (FDI), due to the international competitiveness of their mining and
agribusiness industries and their relatively attractive investment environment following political and
economic reforms. The Latin American economies recorded considerable growth during 2006–2008,
and there were numerous construction activities due to the region‟s growing population, rapid
urbanization and industrial development. However, in 2009, the global financial recession had a
severe impact on the region‟s construction industry, which was reflected in the reduced demand for
paints and coatings. The market size of paints and coatings in Colombia recorded the largest annual
decline of -21.6% in 2009, while the overall Latin American declined at a rate of -14.5%. However, the
Latin American paints and coating market recovered from the global economic crisis quickly and
recorded a growth of 9.6% in 2010 due to construction stimulus measures and the rising domestic
demand. In 2011, Latin American market size of paints and coatings recorded a modest growth of
2.7%, in both value and volume terms, and valued US$4.3 billion with a volume of 2.9 million tons.
During the review period, the Brazilian paints and coating market recorded the highest growth rate at
a CAGR of 7.71%. This growth was supported by increased FDI in the country‟s commercial and
residential construction projects as well as the Brazilian government‟s ambitious infrastructure
development program, Growth Acceleration Program (PAC). Under the PAC 1, which was introduced
in 2007, the Brazilian government allocated US$361.1 billion to develop the country‟s transport,
energy, sanitation, and housing and water resources. The Brazilian paints and coatings regional
market share increased from 36.7% in 2007 to 43.7% in 2011. Meanwhile, the other reported Latin
American countries registered a loss in their share of the regional paints and coatings market size
during the review period. Mexico‟s market share reduced from 38.1% in 2007 to 33.3% 2011, while
Argentina‟s market share decreased from 10.1% in 2007 to 8.4% in 2011 and the Colombian market
share fell from 15.1% in 2007 to 14.6% in 2011. While the market size of paints and coatings in
Argentina and Mexico recorded review period CAGRs of -1.33% and -0.35% respectively, the overall
Latin American paints and coatings market recorded a CAGR of 3.12% during the review period.
The demand for housing in Latin American far outweighs supply due to factors such as the region‟s
expanding population, rising number of people entering the household formation age group, and
growing prosperity supported by increasing remittances being sent from relatives working in North
America. In order to meet the high demand for housing, governments in the region have been
investing in social housing projects and have been using incentives to encourage private developers
to develop housing units for the low-income population. In addition, the region is also a popular tourist
destination, especially for North American tourists, because of its exotic natural beauty and relatively
low-cost facilities. This has encouraged the growth of travel and tourism across the region, which has
increased the demand for retail and leisure and hospitality facilities. The region‟s low-cost medical
facilities have also boosted the level of medical tourism in country, with a large proportion of medical
tourists coming from the United States where healthcare is relatively more expensive. In light of these
developments, Timetric projects the paints and coatings market in Latin America will record a CAGR
of 3.50% over the forecast period. Mexico‟s market size of paints and coatings is expected to record

the highest CAGR of 3.97%, while Argentina is projected to register the lowest CAGR of 2.97%. The
organization of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil is also expected to
the stimulate growth of commercial construction activities in Brazil during the forecast period, which

the regional production value in 2011, while Mexico accounted for 29.2%. Timetric expects the
Mexican market will achieve the highest CAGR of 4.21% over the forecast period, and will increase
its market share by 1.0 percentage point between 2011 and 2016.
In terms of product categories, water-based paints and coatings increased its share of the regional
paints and coating market from 63.7% in 2007 to 69.4% in 2011. During the forecast period, Timetric
projects the solvent-based category will lose more of its market share to the water-based category
due to the environmentally friendly qualities of water-based paints and coatings.

8 Middle East
8.1 Middle East Regional Analysis
The Middle East‟s paints and coatings market is an emerging market due to the large scale
construction projects being undertaken in the region‟s member countries. Most of the Middle Eastern
countries have invested a considerable amount in their construction industries in an effort to diversify
their economies from oil and oil-related business activities to other industry sectors. During 2006–
2008, the Middle East nations recorded a robust economic growth due to the region‟s rising level of
privatization, corporate sector expansion and considerable infrastructure investment as well as the
strong global demand for oil. Most of the Middle East countries are experiencing strong demand for
housing units due to their strong economic growth and expanding domestic population alongside a
rising number of expatriates. Housing demand has also risen in the region due to the speculative
activity in the housing sector and the growing number of high net-worth individuals (HNI) who own a
holiday home in Middle Eastern countries following the development of the country‟s infrastructure
and tourist attractions. Speculative activity in the real estate industry increased as a consequence of
the authorization of private participation in the industry as well as the region‟s encouragement of
foreign investment in areas such as property development. This has also led to a large number of
residential construction projects during the review period. The region‟s rapid economic growth also
generated higher levels of disposable income, which fuelled the growth of the retail industry and led to
the construction of high-end shopping centers. In addition, the construction of numerous tourist
attractions in the Middle East countries and organization of world class events has generated growth
for the leisure and hospitality construction. There has also been an increased demand for office space
since multi-national corporations have began conducting business operations in the Middle East
following the regional governments‟ incentives and policies to diversify their economies. Due to the
high demand for retail buildings, office buildings, and leisure and hospitality buildings, the number of
commercial constructions increased considerably during the review period.
The expansion of the region‟s construction activities positively affected the region‟s paints and
coatings market, with all the Middle Eastern countries except Turkey recording strong growth in the
market size of paints and coatings at the beginning of the during review period. With the Turkish
market accounting for 60.5% of the Middle East market size in 2007, the slow growth in the country
offset the strong growth registered by other countries in the region. In addition, the onset of the global
economic crisis and the resultant tightening of finances in 2008 led to several construction projects in
the region being postponed or cancelled, which further constrained the growth of the regional paints
and coatings market. However, the Middle East‟s paints and coatings market recovered quickly in
2010, and the demand for paints and coatings in the Middle East grew by 10.8% in the year, with
Turkey recording the strongest annual growth of 13.8%. In 2011, the market recorded a further annual
growth rate of 9.3%, with Qatar registering the strongest 2011 annual growth rate of 15.2%. Due to
the fluctuating demand for construction activities in the region, the Middle East‟s paints and coatings
market recorded a CAGR of 2.07% during the review period in value terms and a CAGR of 4.22%
during the review period in volume terms.
Due to the Turkish market size of paints and coatings registering a CAGR of -1.01% during the review
period, the country‟s market share decreased from 60.5% in 2007 to 53.3% in 2011. All the other
Middle Eastern countries increased their market share at expense of Turkey, with Saudi Arabia
gaining the largest increased market share of 3.4 percentage points from 23.1% in 2007 to 26.5% in
2011. Meanwhile, the UAE‟s market share increased by 1.7 percentage points from 8.3% in 2007 to
10.0% in 2011, Qatar expanding its share from 5.0% in 2007 to 6.6% in 2011 and Bahrain‟s market
share increased by 0.3 percentage points during the review period.

The growth rate in market size of paints and coatings is expected to reduce during the forecast period
compared to the review period in countries such as Qatar and the UEA, but increase in countries such
as Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. In Qatar, the market size of paints and coatings registered a CAGR of
9.08% during the review period compared to an anticipated CAGR of 6.62% during the forecast
period, while in the UAE growth rate is expected to decline from a CAGR of 7.15% in the review
period to a CAGR of 6.77% in the forecast period. In contrast, the Saudi Arabia and Bahrain are
projected to register higher CAGRs of 6.10% and 5.52% respectively over the forecast period as
compared to their CAGRs of 5.68% and 4.07% respectively during the review period.
The Middle East‟s paints and coatings market is projected to record a CAGR of 7.10% over the
forecast period, with Turkey registering the largest CAGR of 7.80%. The high growth in the Turkish
market will be driven by an expected construction of one million housing units in Turkey every year
during the forecast period due to the country‟s persistent housing shortage, especially in the East and
Southeast Anatolia Regions. This demand will be strongest in the country‟s largest city, Istanbul, due
to the rising income levels among metropolitan residents, the growth of the city‟s young population,
and the large influx of rural migrants.
In line with the trend of the region‟s paints and coatings market size, the Middle East‟s production of
paints and coatings has recorded a modest CAGR of 2.90% during the review period. The Qatar
market recorded the fastest growth in paints and coatings production during the review period, at a
CAGR of 8.90%, while Turkey, which accounted for 52.6% share of the production in 2011, recorded
the slowest review period CAGR of 0.21%. However, Timetric projects the Turkish market to achieve
the fastest growth in production over the forecast period, at an anticipated CAGR of 8.07%, while
Bahrain is expected to record the lowest CAGR of 5.73%. Furthermore, Timetric projects the overall
Middle Eastern paints and coatings production to register a CAGR of 7.25% over the forecast period.
In line with the worldwide trend of shifting towards water-based paints and coatings from solvent-
based paints and coatings, the share of water-based paints and coatings category increased in the
region from 62.5% in 2007 to 63.6% in 2011. During the forecast period, Timetric expects this share
to increase further to 66.1% in 2016. Similarly the share of water-based paints and coatings category
in total production increased from 67.5% in 2007 to 71.1% in 2016.

8.1.1 Middle East paints and coatings market dynamics
The market size of paints and coatings in Middle East recorded a CAGR of 2.07%. This growth was
mostly due to the market size of paints and coatings from Saudi Arabia increasing at a CAGR of
5.68% during the same period. Over the forecast period, the market size of paints and coatings is
expected to record a CAGR of 6.10% in Saudi Arabia and a CAGR of 7.80% in Turkey. With a market
share of 53.5% in 2011, Turkey was the largest consumer of paints and coatings in the region.

coating brands include famous names such as International, Sikkens and Interpon. The performance
coatings segment contributed 33.00% of the company‟s total revenues in FY2010, generating EUR4,786.0
million. The company‟s specialty chemicals portfolio consists of more than 2,000 items which include a
variety of industrial chemicals, functional chemicals, surfactants, personal care solutions, and aqueous
solution polymers. It also offers polymer chemicals, polyester fibers and soda ash, emulsion polymers,
carbon disulfides, pulp and paper chemicals, wet and dry strength agents, coating additives, and chemicals
for use in water treatment, pharmaceutical industries and explosives. The specialty chemicals segment
contributed 33.00% of the company‟s total revenues in FY2010, generating EUR4,943.0 million. This diverse
revenue generation base enables the company to eliminate the risks associated with overdependence on a
single market.
Strength – strong financial performance

The company delivered a strong financial performance during FY2010. In the year, the company‟s total
revenue increased by 12.37%, from EUR13,028.00 million in FY2009 to EUR14,640.00 million in FY2010.
The company‟s revenue also grew at a CAGR of 9.93% during 2006–2010. In addition, the company‟s
operating profit increased from EUR855.00 million in FY2009 to EUR1,219.00 million in FY2010. Similarly,
the company‟s net income increased from EUR285.00 million in FY2009 to EUR754.00 million in FY2010.
The increase in revenue is due to the strong growth in sales from all the company‟s business segments and
operating regions. The strong financial performance enables Akzo Nobel to pursue growth and expansion
plans, and also improves investors' confidence in the company.
Strength – strong solvency position

The company‟s strong solvency position positively impacts its ability to borrow and repay money, which can
assist its business operations. Akzo Nobel‟s solvency position is strong due to the company raising capital
through equity funding than debt funding. The company recorded a debt to equity ratio of 0.42 at the end of
FY2010, which is better than its close competitors, such as PPG Industries Inc. (PPG) with its debt to equity
ratio of 1.12, and RPM International Inc. (RPM) with its ratio of 0.88. Furthermore, the company‟s equity
levels also increased by 15.55% during FY2010, to reach EUR8,984.0 million. This strong solvency position
indicates the higher creditworthiness of the company compared to its competitors.

COMPANY PROFILES
9.5.2 Akzo Nobel NV – weaknesses
Weakness – decorative paints segment’s overdependence on Europe

Akzo Nobel‟s decorative paints segment is highly dependent on revenue generated from Europe. Although
the company operates in other regions such as the Americas and Asia-Pacific, the majority of its revenue is
generated from Europe. In FY2010, the company generated 52.00% of its revenue from Europe, while other
regions cumulatively accounted for 48.00%. The company‟s overall performance may be threatened by any
economical downturn in this region. In addition, the reduced focus on other geographical regions may
constrain the company‟s ability to capitalize on growth prospects in other regions.
Weakness – weak liquidity position

Akzo Nobel's current ratio was 1.41 at the end of FY2010. This was lower than its close competitors such as
PPG, which had a current ratio of 1.95, and RPM, which recorded a current ratio of 2.54 in the same year.
The company‟s lower current ratio indicates its weaker financial position and potential inability to meet its
short-term obligations as efficiently as its close competitors. In FY2010, the company had cash and
equivalents worth EUR2,885.0 million, while its total current liabilities stood at EUR5,261.0 million, an
increase of 15.52% over previous year. However, the company improved its current ratio from 1.37 in
FY2009 to 1.41 in FY2010.
Weakness – lawsuits and litigations

The company has been involved in the various law suits and antitrust investigations by European regulatory
bodies. The US Army pension case against the company was settled in 2010, and the company‟s subsidiary
Glidden was been released from all of its lawsuits in the same year. However, there are other claims and
litigations against the company still pending. The resolution of legal issues requires the company to incur
significant costs to defend themselves, which may affect the company‟s overall performance. Furthermore,
involvement in lawsuits and litigations can damage the company‟s brand image and product sales.
9.5.3 Akzo Nobel NV – opportunities
Opportunity – positive outlook of the global automotive industry

The positive outlook of the global automotive industry provides opportunities for the company to increase its
revenues. The Scotiabank Group‟s Global Auto Report 2011 forecasts that the number of car sales in North
America will increase by 8.16% in 2011, from 13.96 million in 2010 to 15.20 million units in 2011. The Asian
automotive market, which includes India and China, is expected to grow at a slower annual rate of 2.64% in
2011, after its significant annual growth of 21.32% in 2010. Meanwhile, the South American automotive
market, which includes Brazil, is expected to grow by over 9.00% in 2011. Since the company's products are
used for coating vehicles by the automotive industry, the global automotive industry will generate more
demand for the company‟s products, which will increase its revenue from various regions.
Opportunity – strategic acquisition and capacity expansion

The company has made a number of strategic acquisitions and alliances to expand its existing operations
and market presence. For instance, the company acquired Schramm Holding AG in October 2011. Akzo
Nobel also announced plans to acquire Boxing Oleochemicals in July 2011, which will enable the company
to further strengthen its ability to provide specialty surfactants. Also in July 2011, the company acquired the
patented Zeta Fraction technology from Botanical Technologies (IBT). This technology will be integrated into
the personal care business of Akzo Nobel‟s surface chemistry business unit. These and other acquisitions
offer the company an expanded customer base and product range, and can enable it to capitalize on
previously inaccessible growth prospects. Besides acquisitions, the company has been focusing on
expanding its production capacity. In October 2011, the company announced its plan to build a coatings
plant in China to meet the region‟s rising demand. It also plans to invest EUR60.00 million to increase the
production capacity of its automotive and aerospace coatings business in China. This new production unit

COMPANY PROFILES
will be operational by 2014 and will increase Akzo Nobel‟s capacity by 25 million liters. In addition, the
company planned to establish a manufacturing unit in the UK in July 2011, which will also be operational by
2014. These capacity expansions will strengthen the company‟s competitiveness against its peers in these
operating countries.
Opportunity – Trans-European Network transport program

The company could benefit from the Trans-European Network transport (TEN-T) scheme which has been
launched by European Commission. The scheme assures the development of 89,500 kilometers (km) of
roads and 94,000 km of railways, including 20,000 km of high-speed rail lines, by 2020. The scheme will also
generate the construction of an inland waterway system that will spread across 11,250 km, and will contain
210 inland ports. Under the scheme, 294 seaports and 366 airports will also be constructed. TEN-T will be
funded by the European Commission with assistance from the European Union members and other sources,
such as community funding and the loan guarantee instrument for TEN-T projects (LGTT). The company has
a strong influence in providing products for railway infrastructure construction in Spain and other European
countries including Poland. Due to this, TEN-T provides an opportunity for the company to capitalize on its
expertise and market presence to gain higher revenues.
9.5.4 Akzo Nobel NV – threats
Threat – stringent regulations

The company‟s operations are subject to federal, state, local and foreign regulations which govern its
activities regarding their environmental, production, labor health and protection qualities. Any change in
these regulations will require the company to change how its conducts business operations, making it incur
costs to comply with the new regulation. For example, the European Commission‟s Roadmap for moving to a
low-carbon economy in 2050 recommends setting emission reduction targets of at least 25.00% between
2000 and 2020, to eventually achieve a 80.00% reduction by 2050. The EU plans to invest EUR270.0 billion,
or 1.50% of the region‟s GDP, in next four decades to implement strategies to achieve this target. These
changes in government strategies will require the company to invest in new technologies which significantly
increases its operational costs. Furthermore, non-compliance with any of these regulations would have an
adverse impact on the company‟s brand image and make the company liable to non-compliance penalties.
Threat – economic instability of the EU nations

The economic environment in EU nations is currently unstable, which poses challenges for companies such
as Akzo Nobel that are dependent on European regions to generate revenues. In 2010, the 16-member
eurozone region was struck by debt crisis. Following this, the euro fell by 16.00% against the dollar and the
governments from Spain to Germany cut their budgets to decrease their deficits. The International Monetary
Fund (IMF) and the member nations of the EU announced a EUR750.00 billion rescue package to bailout
the debt struck countries such as Greece, Italy and Ireland. However, the future condition of Europe‟s
economic environment is still uncertain and the recent credit rating downgrading of several European
countries from AAA by the S&P (Stanley & Poor) reflects this. Since the company generates the majority of
its decorative paints segment revenues from Europe, the EU‟s poor economic environment may lead to
lower demand for the company‟s products during the forecast period.
Threat – shortage of labor

The low availability of labor may pose problems to the company as the supply of skilled craft labor will
become more limited during the forecast period. According to the International Center for Peace &
Development, the EU's labor force is expected to shrink by about 0.20% a year between 2000 and 2030. It
also projected that 110.00 million people will be over the age of 65 in the EU during 2025, an increase from
71.00 million in 2000. The EU‟s old age dependency ratio is projected to increase from 23.00% in 2000 to
35.00% in 2025, and to 45.00–50.00% in 2050. Furthermore, the US is expected to have a shortage of 17.00
million working age people in 2020. The emerging and growing shortages of craft workers may impact

COMPANY PROFILES
several industries including the paints and coatings market. Since the company operates in Europe and the
US, it may face challenges with respect to labor shortage in these regions.

COMPANY PROFILES
10.5 PPG Industries Inc. – SWOT Analysis
PPG‟s main strengths are its broad product portfolio, global business operations and strong financial
performance. Meanwhile, its main weakness is its limited solvency position. The company could grow by
capitalizing on the positive outlook of the chemicals industry, partnerships and agreements, strategic
acquisitions and growth in emerging markets. However, the company‟s operations may be threatened by the
negative outlook of non-residential construction in the US, European regulations for chemical industry and
increasing labor costs.
10.5.1 PPG Industries Inc. – strengths
Strength – broad product portfolio

The company‟s broad business portfolio enables it to efficiently cater to the diverse needs of its large
customer base. PPG operates its business through six segments: performance coatings, industrial coatings,
architectural coatings in EMEA, optical and specialty materials, commodity chemicals and glass. Under the
performance coatings, industrial coatings and architectural coatings in EMEA segments, PPG offers
protective and decorative finishes for use in industrial equipment, appliances and packaging, marine and
aircraft equipment, automotive original equipment, factory-finished aluminum extrusions, steel and aluminum
coils, and other industrial and consumer products. The company‟s optical and specialty materials segment
provides optical products and operates silicas businesses. Meanwhile, its commodity chemicals segment
produces chlor-alkali and derivative products including chlorine, vinyl chloride monomer, caustic soda,
chlorinated solvents, ethylene dichloride, calcium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid and phosgene derivatives.
Finally the glass segment operates glazing and fiber glass businesses. During FY2010, the company
generated 31.89% of its net sales from the performance coatings segment, 27.62% from industrial coatings,
13.96% from architectural coatings in EMEA, 8.50% from optical and specialty materials, 10.68% from
commodity chemicals and 7.34% from glass segment. The company‟s broad product portfolio enables it to
generate high market shares and revenues. In addition, the broad product portfolio mitigates the various
risks associated with overdependence on a particular business segment.
Strength – global business operations

The company's global business operations give it a large potential customer base, which enhances its top-
line performance. PPG has a presence in over 60 countries around the globe. The company operates 121
manufacturing facilities in 41 different countries, of which 34 manufacturing facilities are located in 20 US
states, nine are located in five other American countries, 51 facilities are located in 25 EMEA countries, and
27 facilities are located in 10 Asian countries. The company‟s research and development (R&D) centers are
located in the US. During FY2010, the company generated 49.64% of its revenues from the Americas
region, 33.79% from EMEA region and 16.57% from Asia. The company‟s broad geographic presence and
diverse product portfolio mitigate the risks associated with overdependence on a single product or market.
The company‟s global operations also enable it to capitalize on any growth prospects that arise across the
globe. Furthermore, its established foreign operations make it easier for the company to launch new
products in foreign countries. This contributes to the company‟s success and provides future growth
prospects.
Strength – strong financial performance

PPG registered a strong financial performance during FY2010. The company‟s total revenues increased by
9.67% during the year, from US$12,239.00 million in FY2009 to US$13,423.00 million in FY2010. In
addition, the company‟s operating profit increased from US$617.00 million in FY2009 to US$1,295.00 million
in FY2010. The company‟s net income also increased from US$336.00 million in FY2009 to US$769.00 in
FY2010. The company‟s improved revenues during the year were primarily driven by the increased revenues
of several business segments. For example, the revenues from the performance coatings segment grew by
4.54% in FY2010, while the industrial coatings segment‟s revenues grew by 20.86, optical and specialty

COMPANY PROFILES
materials segment‟s revenues grew by 13.87% and the glass segment‟s revneues grew by 16.02%
respectively. Furthermore, the company maintained a higher operating margin of 9.67% than its close
competitors, such as RPM International Inc. which had an operating margin of 8.73% and The Sherwin-
Williams Company which had an operating margin of 8.72%. The company‟s strong operating performance
against its peer group improves investors‟ confidence in the company and enhances its growth prospects.
10.5.2 PPG Industries Inc. – weaknesses
Weakness – limited solvency position

The company‟s limited solvency position may impact its ability to borrow and repay money, which could
prevent its ability to expand business operations. The solvency position of PPG may be limited due to its
significant debt funding than equity funding. The company recorded a debt to equity ratio of 1.12 at the end
of FY2010 which is lower than its close competitors, such as RPM International Inc. which had a ratio of 0.88
and The Sherwin-Williams Company which had a ratio of 0.65. The company‟s total debt also increased by
21.67% during the year, to reach US$4,071.00 million in FY2010. The company‟s limited solvency position
indicates the lower creditworthiness of the company compared to its close competitor.
10.5.3 PPG Industries Inc. – opportunities
Opportunity – positive outlook of the chemicals industry

The strong outlook for the chemical industry market provides growth prospects for PPG. According to the
CEFIC (the European Chemical Industry Council), chemicals production in Europe is projected to increase
by 4.50% for 2011 and by 2.50% for 2012. In addition, China is expected to become the largest global
chemical producer in 2015. PPG already has a strong presence in the chemical industry, especially in
Europe and China. The increasing demand for chemicals will provide opportunities for the company to
increase its sales of products that cater to the industry.
Opportunity – partnerships and agreements

The company‟s recent partnerships should strengthen its position in the market. In October 2011, PPG
partnered with Jet Inc., a provider of advanced on-site wastewater treatment systems, for the distribution of
new ACCU-TAB(R) wastewater tablets. This partnership is expected to combine the waste water equipment
distributor network of Jet Inc. with PPG‟s water chlorination systems, to improve the global sanitation efforts.
Furthermore, the company entered into an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) materials supply and service
agreement with Universal Display Corporation in September 2011. This agreement replaces Universal
Display's current OLED Materials Supply and Service Agreement with PPG Industries. In August 2011, the
company established a 50:50 joint venture with Harsha Exito Engineering Private Limited in India to
manufacture and market fiber glass reinforcement products. The high growth and expansion of the Indian
economy is expected to generate additional demand for fiber glass used by transportation, wind energy and
infrastructure. These partnership and alliances will strengthen the company‟s position across its operating
markets.
Opportunity – strategic acquisitions

The company‟s recent strategic acquisitions may further strengthen its business operations. In October
2011, PPG acquired the European coatings company Dyrup AS. The company intends to expand its
presence within Europe through this acquisition by increasing its portfolio to include Dyrup‟s brands. In
August 2011, the company and its subsidiary PPG Colombia acquired Colpisa Colombiana de Pinturas, a
privately-owned Colombian coatings company, and its affiliates. Through this acquisition PPG intends to
expand its coatings business in Latin America. In June 2011, PPG acquired Ducol Coatings South Africa
(PTY) Ltd, which serves as an importer and distributor of PPG‟s automotive refinish products in South Africa.
This acquisition may help the company to directly serve its products to its customers. In May 2011, PPG
acquired Equa-Chlor Inc., a producer of chlorine, caustic soda and muriatic acid, based in Longview, Wash.

COMPANY PROFILES
The company‟s strong market presence and influence gives it a high bargaining power, enabling it to enter
into strategic acquisitions at low prices and to achieve economies of scale.
Opportunity – growth in emerging markets

The growth prospects in emerging markets may provide opportunities for the company to improve its market
share. For instance, the rapid urbanization in China and shortage of Indian housing may increase the
demand for building materials such as paints and coatings that are used by the increased residential
construction activities. China‟s rapid urbanization is being fueled by the country‟s robust economic growth.
According to the World Resource Institute, 1.00 billion people are expected leave China‟s rural areas to
enter its cities by 2025. China is also expected to contain 221 cities with more than 1.00 million residents by
2025. In addition, the World Resource Institute anticipates that the urban disposable income per head will
increase to US$7,500.00 in 2025. China‟s rapid urbanization and increased disposable income will raise the
demand for housing properties across these cities and, as such, will generate higher sales of building
materials such as paints. Besides China, the Indian real estate industry is expected to grow, providing more
growth prospects for PPG. According to a study conducted by the Urban Land Institute (ULI), „Emerging
trends in Real Estate in Asia Pacific 2011', India leads the group of real estate investment markets in Asia
for 2011. The report identified that major Indian cities, such as Mumbai and New Delhi, are among the most
sought after residential real estate market destinations in the continent. Furthermore, the Technical Group in
India, which was made up by the Ministry on Estimation of Housing Shortage, estimated there was a
shortage of 26.53 million houses during 2007–2012. This large housing shortage will trigger high demand for
homes and building materials, such as paints and coatings. The company is focusing on expanding its
market presence in India which will help it capitalize on this growth prospect. In January 2011, PPG
announced plans to expand its relationship with Asian Paints Ltd. (APL), India‟s coatings company, to
accelerate the growth of its Indian non-decorative coatings businesses. This expansion may help the
company provide more products to India‟s marine, consumer packaging markets and industrial liquid
markets. The company may expand its products portfolio in these regions that cater to capitalize on the
rising demand for paints and coatings from emerging markets in Asia.
10.5.4 PPG Industries Inc. – threats
Threat – negative outlook of non-residential construction in the US

The outlook of the US construction industry is negative, posing challenges to the company‟s domestic
business operations. According to the AIA Consensus Construction Forecast Panel, non-residential
construction activity in the country is expected to decline by 5.60% in 2011. The construction activities for
commercial and industrial projects are expected to be weak in 2011, with total commercial construction
revenues growing by -6.50% and industrial construction growing by -3.40% during the year. The largest
decline in construction value will be reported by hotel construction, which will decrease in value by 17.90%.
The main reasons for the reduced demand for non-residential construction are the cautious approach of
businesses in expanding their facilities, the tight credit situation, and the oversupply of commercial space in
the country. Since the company principally operates in the US, the negative outlook of the US construction
industry will reduce the demand for the company‟s products in its domestic market.
Threat – European regulations for chemical industry

The company is subject to national and international regulations, which are constantly changing, and most
regulation change affects how the company conducts its business operations. During the review period,
regulations for producing chemicals have been increasing. Strict guidelines have been placed on producing
chemical compounds in Europe, such as REACH (registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of
chemicals), CLP (classification, labeling and packaging) and GHS (globally harmonized system of
classification and labeling of chemicals). The cost of implementing new legislations is a huge challenge for
the chemical industry. PPG is required to pay continuous attention to the current regulations and to invest in

COMPANY PROFILES
altering its operations in order to comply. PPG spends over EUR10.00 million per year to retain the standard
of its products. The increasing regulations may affect the profitability of the company.
Threat – increasing labor cost

The labor costs in the US have risen during the review period. The tight labor markets, government
mandated increases in minimum wages and higher proportion of full-time employees are causing increased
labor costs in the country. The federal minimum wage rate in the US, which had previously remained at
US$5.15 per hour since 1997, increased to US$7.25 per hour in July 2009. Furthermore, the minimum wage
increased to over US$8.00 per hour during 2010 in US several states, such as Washington, California,
District of Colombia, Oregon and Massachusetts. Since the company operates several manufacturing
facilities in the US, the increased labor costs in the country will affect its overall costs and profit margins.

COMPANY PROFILES
11.5 The Sherwin-Williams Company – SWOT Analysis
The Sherwin-Williams Company is one of the leading paint manufacturing and retailing companies in the US.
The company‟s main strengths are its impressive financial performance, strong solvency position and broad
product portfolio. Meanwhile, its main weakness is its limited liquidity position. There are opportunities for the
company to grow from positive outlook of the automotive industry, growth in emerging markets, and the
company‟s strategic acquisitions and expansions. However, the company‟s operations may be threatened by
the negative outlook of non-residential construction in the US, the increasing labor costs and environmental
regulations.
11.5.1 The Sherwin-Williams Company – strengths
Strength – impressive financial performance

Sherwin-Williams delivered an impressive financial performance during FY2010. The company registered
total revenues of US$7,776.42 million in FY2010, an increase of 9.62% from US$7,094.25 million in FY2009.
This increase in revenues was principally due to the acquisition of Sayerlack and Becker Acroma, two
industrial wood finishing businesses. These two acquisitions added more than US$440.00 million revenues
to the company during FY2010. The company‟s operating profit increased by 8.82% during the year, from
US$622.82 million in FY2009 to US$677.78 million in FY2010. In addition, the company‟s net income
increased by 6.11%, from US$435.85 million in FY2009 to US$462.49 million in FY2010. The company‟s
impressive financial performance can enable it to expand operations and generate higher revenues during
the forecast period.
Strength – strong solvency position

The company‟s solvency position may impact its ability to borrow and repay money, which affects its
expansion plans and business operations. The solvency position of Sherwin-Williams is strong due to the
significant amount of equity funding rather than debt. The company recorded a debt to equity ratio of 0.65 at
the end of FY2010 making it stronger than its close competitors, such as PPG Industries Inc. which recorded
a ratio of 1.22 and RPM International Inc. which recorded a ratio of 0.88. The company‟s equity levels also
increased by 7.95% during the year, to reach US$1,609.44 million in FY2010. The company‟s strong
solvency position indicates its utilization of lower financial leverage and comparatively stronger equity
position, giving Sherwin-Williams a high creditworthiness.

The company‟s broad business portfolio enables it to cater to a large and diverse customer base. Sherwin-
Williams manufactures and supplies paints, coatings and paint-related products. The company‟s product
portfolio includes paints, stains, painting tools and equipment for a wide range of end users such as
residential and commercial builders, architectural and industrial painting contractors, property owners, and
property managers. Through the paint stores group segment, the company provides paints, coatings and
related products to its customers. It markets products under brands such as Sherwin-Williams, ProMar,
SuperPaint, A-100, PrepRite, Classic 99, ProClassic, Duration, Master Hide, ExpressTech, Duron,
Columbiatm and MABtm. The paint stores group also provides several environmentally friendly products,
such as low-VOC and zero-VOC architectural paints, which meet the LEED requirements. Meanwhile, the
company‟s consumer group segment manufactures and distributes a range of paint, coatings and paint-
related products to third-party customers. Finally the company‟s global finishes group segment manufactures
and distributes architectural paint and coatings, industrial and marine products, automotive finishes, refinish
products, and OEM coatings products. In addition to its merchandise offerings, the company provides a
range of painting-related services such as color sampling, wood finishing systems and services, inventory
management and equipment repairs. This broad product portfolio enables the company to cater to a wide
range of customer requirements, and helps the company generate higher market shares.

COMPANY PROFILES
11.5.2 The Sherwin-Williams Company – weaknesses
Weakness – limited liquidity position

Sherwin-Williams's current ratio was 1.07 at the end of FY2010. This was lower than the current ratios
recorded by its close competitors, such as PPG Industries Inc. which registered a ratio of 1.95 and RPM
International Inc. which registered a ratio of 2.54. The company‟s lower current ratio indicates its weaker
financial position and potential inability to meet short-term financial obligations. At the end of the FY2010, the
company recorded funds and short-term investments of US$58.59 million, against a short-term debt of
US$388.59 million, reflecting its limited liquidity. The company‟s limited cash and liquidity position makes it
more difficult to finance any expansion to exploit a potential opportunity arising in the market.
11.5.3 The Sherwin-Williams Company – opportunities
Opportunity – positive outlook of the automotive industry

revenues. The Scotiabank Group‟s Global Auto Report 2011 forecasts that the number of car sales in North
America will increase by 8.16% in 2011, from 13.96 million in 2010 to 15.20 million units in 2011. The Asian
automotive market, which includes India and China, is expected to grow at a slower annual rate of 2.64% in
2011, after its growth of 21.32% in 2010. However, the South American automotive market, which includes
Brazil, is expected to grow by over 9.00% in 2011. Since the company's products are used for coating
vehicles by the automotive industry, the global automotive industry will generate more demand for the
company‟s products which will increase its revenue from various regions.
Opportunity – growth in emerging markets

share. For instance, the rapid urbanization in China and shortage of Indian housing may increase the
demand for building materials such as paints and coatings that are used by the increased residential
construction activities. China‟s rapid urbanization is being fueled by the country‟s robust economic growth.
According to the World Resource Institute, 1.00 billion people are expected leave China‟s rural areas to
enter its cities by 2025. China is also expected to contain 221 cities with more than 1.00 million residents by
2025. In addition, the World Resource Institute anticipates that the urban disposable income per head will
increase to US$7,500.00 in 2025. China‟s rapid urbanization and increased disposable income will raise the
demand for housing properties across these cities and, as such, will generate higher sales of building
materials such as paints. Besides China, the Indian real estate industry is expected to grow, providing more
growth prospects for PPG. According to a study conducted by the Urban Land Institute (ULI), „Emerging
trends in Real Estate in Asia Pacific 2011', India leads the group of real estate investment markets in Asia
for 2011. The report identified that major Indian cities, such as Mumbai and New Delhi, are among the most
sought after residential real estate market destinations in the continent. Furthermore, the Technical Group in
India, which was made up by the Ministry on Estimation of Housing Shortage, estimated there was a
shortage of 26.53 million houses during 2007–2012. This large housing shortage will trigger high demand for
homes and building materials, such as paints and coatings. The company could expand its business in these
regions to take advantage of the growth prospects, in addition to strengthening its revenue base and global
market presence.
Opportunity – strategic acquisitions and expansions

The company‟s focus on expanding its global presence may improve its growth prospects. In September
2010, the company acquired Becker Industrial Products AB, one of the largest global manufacturers of
industrial wood coatings. Becker Acroma operates nine manufacturing facilities, 19 mixing sites and 13
technical centers around the world. Through this acquisition, Sherwin-Williams intends to expand its
products portfolio and customer base, which will strengthen its global market presence. Strategic
acquisitions such as this will enhance the company‟s global expansion, and increase its revenue base.

COMPANY PROFILES
Besides acquisitions, Sherwin-Williams plans to expand its operations by creating new stores which will
increase the company‟s customer base. The company plans to open 50–60 new stores in FY2011. During
FY2010, the company‟s paint group segment opened 49 new stores, of which 40 were in the US, six were in
Canada, two were in Trinidad and one was in Jamaica. The company also increased its total store count
from 3,354 in the FY2009 to 3,390 in FY2010. The company‟s concentration on opening new stores may
further strengthen its competitive position against companies with similar businesses.
11.5.4 The Sherwin-Williams Company – threats

Threat – increasing labor cost

The labor costs in the US have risen during the review period. This increase is due to the tight labor markets,
government mandated increases in minimum wages and higher proportion of full-time employees. The
federal minimum wage rate in the US, which had previously remained at US$5.15 per hour since 1997,
increased to US$7.25 per hour in July 2009. Furthermore, the minimum wage increased to over US$8.00 per
hour during 2010 in several US states, such as Washington, California, District of Colombia, Oregon and
Massachusetts. As the company operates several manufacturing facilities in the US, the increased labor
costs in the country will affect its overall costs and profit margins.
Threat – environmental regulations

The company may be affected by the environmental regulations governing the global chemical industry.
REACH is an example of the stringent environmental regulations which govern chemical industry. REACH
regulates the products manufactured and marketed in Europe. Phased over a period of 11 years, the
regulation mandates all companies to develop and submit dossiers containing datasets about their chemical
products and their potential environmental impact. This will provide an addition challenge while launching
new products as it is a time-consuming and expensive process. It may also result in the phasing out of
existing chemicals from the market, which are regarded as toxic and hazardous. REACH directly applies to
over 30,000 different chemical substances that are produced or distributed in Europe, and its implementation
is expected to cost the European chemical industry US$3.00 billion. During the forecast period, other
countries are expected to model their regulations on REACH. The US has already started implementing
similar regulations with the reform of Toxic Substances Control Act. China also has its own version of RoHS
(Restriction of Hazardous Substances), which restricts the use of certain chemicals in the market. The
stringent environmental regulations are set to tighten during the forecast period, which will cause additional
operational costs for the company and will threaten its profitability.

COMPANY PROFILES
12.5 RPM International Inc. – SWOT Analysis
RPM manufactures and markets high-performance coatings, sealants and specialty chemicals, primarily for
maintenance and improvement applications. The company‟s main strengths are its leading market position,
broad product portfolio, impressive bottom-line performance and strong liquidity position. Meanwhile, its
main weakness is its ongoing lawsuits. The company has opportunities to grow from strategic acquisitions
and the positive outlook of the chemicals industry. However, its business operations may be threatened by
the negative outlook of non-residential construction in the US, the environmental regulations regarding
chemicals and the economic instability in Europe.
12.5.1 RPM International Inc. – strengths
Strength – leading market position

RPM‟s leading market position has enabled the company to build brand equity and establish itself as one of
the world‟s leading provider of specialty chemicals. RPM is one of the leading companies which
manufactures and markets high-performance coatings, sealants and specialty chemicals. The company
owns a strong brand portfolio which includes the Carboline, DAP, Day-Glo, Dryvit, EUCO, Flecto, Flowcrete,
illbruck, Rust-Oleum, Stonhard, Tremco, Watco and Zinsser brands. These are leading brands in their
respective product offerings. For example, Rust-Oleum is the most popular brand for small-project paints,
while DAP and Zinsser are well-recognized brands for home improvement products in North America and
the US respectively. In addition, Stonhard and Flowcrete are the leading brand for high-performance
polymer flooring worldwide, Carboline is a global leader in corrosion control and fireproofing coatings, and
Day-Glo holds the top position in fluorescent colorants. The company‟s market position helps it to attract and
retain a large customer base, which enhances its top-line performance.

RPM has diversified portfolio of specialty chemicals. The company manufactures and markets a variety of
specialty chemical products. Its product offerings include waterproofing systems, institutional roofing
systems, industrial adhesives and sealants, coating products, deck and fence restoration products, faux
finish coatings, hobby paints, cements, caulks, insulating foam, spackling, glazing, and other products used
in construction and home improvement. It also includes protection products for flooring, corrosion control,
roofing and waterproofing systems, and other specialty applications. In addition, RPM produces textured
finish coats, sealers and variegated-aggregate finishes; commercial carpet and floor cleaning solutions;
wood treatments; fuel additives; waterproofing and concrete repair products; pleasure marine coatings;
wood furniture finishes and touch-up products; and shellac-based-specialty coatings. This broad product
portfolio mitigates the risks associated with overdependence on single business area for a major share of
total revenues, and enables the company to serve a diversified customer base to generate higher revenues.
Strength – impressive bottom-line performance

RPM delivered an impressive bottom line performance during FY2011. The company‟s operating profit
increased from US$268.45 million in FY2010 to US$295.05 million in FY2011. In addition, its net income
increased from US$180.04 million in FY2010 to US$189.06 million in FY2011. The increase in profits was
principally due to the increased volume of sales by 5.30% over the previous year. It is also due to the
corporate acquisitions and operations of the particular business units. The company‟s impressive bottom-line
performance enables RPM to pursue expansion plans and improves investors' confidence in the company.
Strength – strong liquidity position

RPM's current ratio was 2.54 at the end of FY2011, which is significantly higher than its ratio of 2.23
recorded in FY2010. The company‟s current ratio was also higher than its close competitors, such as The
Valspar Corporation with a ratio of 1.05, PPG Industries Inc. with a ratio of 1.95, The Sherwin-Williams
Company with a ratio of 1.07, and Akzo Nobel NV with a ratio of 1.41 in the same year. RPM‟s higher

COMPANY PROFILES
current ratio than its competitors indicates that the company is in a stronger financial position than its peers.
At the end of FY2011, the company had total current assets worth US$1,867.97 million, an increase of
28.81% over previous year. Furthermore, the RPM recorded cash and cash equivalent of US$435.01 million
at the end of FY2011, compared to its short-term debt of US$2.55 million. The company‟s strong cash and
liquidity position gives it an advantage in funding any potential opportunity arising in the market.
12.5.2 RPM International Inc. – weaknesses
Weakness – ongoing legal proceedings

The various lawsuits filed against RPM and its subsidiaries may impact its bottom line performance, while
also potentially damaging its reputation. The company is currently facing various legal proceedings, claims
and governmental investigations including asbestos litigation, Exterior Insulated Finish Systems (EIFS)
Litigation and environmental proceedings. The resolution of these legal issues requires the company to incur
significant costs to defend their position. For instance, the company made payments of US$92.62 million
towards defending against asbestos related claims in FY2010. Lawsuits such as these may also generate
penalties and fines, and affect the company's reputation, which will have a negative impact on its business
operations.
12.5.3 RPM International Inc. – opportunities

RPM supports the growth of its diversified product portfolio through the acquisition and integration of firms as
well as from organic growth. In October 2011, RPM‟s performance coatings group acquired the Grupo P&V
group of companies, a leading supplier of passive fire protection and insulation products in Europe. This
acquisition is expected to expand the company‟s fireproofing and insulation capabilities. It will also enable
the company to expand its presence in the European fire protection and corrosion control market. In
September 2011, the RPM 2 group business unit acquired the Legend Brands group of companies, which
provides equipment and solutions for professional cleaning, environmental control, and water and fire
damage restoration. The purchase of Legend Brands is anticipated to extend the company‟s position in the
restoration of property. In August 2011, RPM‟s performance coatings group acquired API SpA, a producer
and installer of urethane- and polyurethane-based flooring and decking solutions for mega-yachts, cruise
ships, and naval applications. The acquisition is expected to enhance the company‟s presence in the
decorative flooring market, and will complement the strengths of the company‟s Flowcrete and Stonhard
commercial polymer flooring businesses. Furthermore in February 2011, RPM‟s subsidiary, The Euclid
Chemical Company, acquired PSI Packaging Inc. (PSI), a micro- and macro-fibers producer for the ready-
mixed and pre-cast concrete market. This acquisition improved the company‟s manufacturing and sales
capacity for fibers used in concrete reinforcement. These strategic acquisitions are expected to strengthen
the company's position in the market, and to increase its revenues.
Opportunity – positive outlook of chemical industry

chemical producer in 2015. RPM already has a strong presence in the chemical industry, especially in
increase its product sales.
12.5.4 RPM International Inc. – threats

COMPANY PROFILES
Threat – European regulations for chemicals production

The company is subject to national and international regulations, which are constantly changing, and every
regulation change affects how the company conducts its business operations. During the review period, the
number of regulations for producing chemicals has been increasing. Strict guidelines have been placed on
producing chemical compounds in Europe, such as REACH (registration, evaluation, authorization and
restriction of chemicals), CLP (classification, labeling and packaging) and GHS (globally harmonized system
of classification and labeling of chemicals). The cost of implementing new legislations is a huge challenge for
chemical prodders such as RPM. RPM is required to pay continuous attention to the current regulations and
to invest in altering its operations in order to comply. These increasing regulations will adversely affect the
operation margins and profitability of the company.
Threat – economic instability of the EU region

The economic instability of EU nations may pose challenges for the companies which generates significant
revenues from Europe. In 2010, the 16-member eurozone was struck by debt crisis. As such, the euro fell by
16.00% against the US dollar and the several governments, including Spain and Germany, reduced their
budget costs to decrease the deficits. The International Monetary Fund and the member nations of the EU
announced a EUR750.0 billion rescue package to bailout the debt struck countries such as Greece, Italy and
Ireland. In the second quarter of 2011, the GDP of Germany grew by only 0.10%. Germany's Federal
Statistical Office revised the growth for the first quarter of 2011, from its initial estimate of 1.50% to 1.30%.
Furthermore, France also failed to grow during the second quarter of 2011. The weak performance of
Germany and France resulted in the economic growth across the eurozone only increasing by 0.2%. The
company has significant operations in the EU region, with 52.00% of the company‟s revenue in FY2010
derived from Europe and Africa. The instable economic condition of the EU may affect the company's
profitability and sustainability in this region.

COMPANY PROFILES
13.5 The Valspar Corporation – SWOT Analysis
Valspar is a manufacturer and distributor of paints and coatings. The company‟s main strengths are its
diversified geographical operations and broad product portfolio. Meanwhile, its main weaknesses are its
overdependence on a few major customers, limited liquidity position and weak operating performance. There
are opportunities for the company to grow from strategic acquisitions, product innovations and positive
outlook of the chemical industry. However, the company‟s operations may be threatened by industry
consolidation, the negative outlook of non-residential construction in the US, and the stringent regulations
that affect its operations.
13.5.1 The Valspar Corporation – strengths
Strength – diverse geographical operations

The company‟s geographically diverse operations enable it to mitigate the various risks associated with
overdependence on a particular region. The company operates in more than 20 countries and is one of the
largest paints and coatings manufacturers in the world. It has manufacturing plants in Brazil, Australia,
Canada, France, China, India, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Switzerland,
Singapore, South Africa, Thailand, Vietnam and the UK, which are strategically located to serve a broad
customers base. The company also has joint ventures in Japan, China, South Africa and Vietnam, and sales
offices in other countries. Due to the company‟s increasing global presence, it has yielded large revenues
from international markets, reducing risks arising due to dependence on domestic market. The contribution
of international to the company‟s total revenues increased from 38.00% in FY2009 to 40.50% in FY2010,
while the contribution from its Chinese operations increased from 11.40% in FY2009 to 13.00% in FY2010.
As such, the company‟s diverse geographical operations enable it to build brand equity and to capitalize on
growth prospects that emerge across the globe.

Valspar also mitigates the risks of overdependence on a single business operation by offering a broad range
of different products. The company produces and distributes various coatings, paints and paint-related
products. It offers products through three segments: coatings, paints and all other. Through the coatings
segment, Valspar offers decorative and protective coatings for metal, wood and plastic products, which
include inks, sprays, stains, fillers, primers, varnishes and other coatings. The segment also includes a
packaging product line as well as general industrial, coil and wood product lines. The company‟s paints
segment produces and sells primers, topcoats and aerosol spray paints through a variety of retailers and
distribution networks. Under the all other segment, Valspar manufactures and sells specialty polymers,
gelcoats and colorants, as well as furniture protection plans under the Guardsman brand. In FY2010, the
coatings segment accounted for 56.24% of the company‟s total revenues, while the paintings segment
accounted for 36.47%, and the all other segment accounted for 10.39% of the total sales. The company‟s
diversified business operations minimize its business risks, and helps the company to serve a broad
customer base and generate higher revenues.
Strengths – product innovations

The company‟s focus on new product innovations provides it with a competitive advantage and stronger
brand equity. Innovation continues to be a cornerstone of the company‟s corporate strategy, and it places
significant efforts to develop products that are convenient and effective for its consumer demands. In
November 2011, the company introduced a new spray paint formula and spray can design, which contains a
quick dry formula in a twist and lock spray can design. The new design reduces common problems found
from using spray cans, such as finger fatigue, dripping and spitting. In the same month, Valspar Automotive
launched the De Beer WaterBase 900+ series, featuring 13 additional mixing colors that have a higher
coverage. The new series offers a 20.00% increase in coverage against current 900 system. In May 2011,
the company commercialized Valspar Aquaguard, a water-based and zinc-free container coating technology.

COMPANY PROFILES
The technology improved the company‟s environmental credentials, by shifting from solvent-based, zinc-
containing materials to a water-based, zinc-free coating. Furthermore in October 2010, the company
expanded its automotive refinish product platform with new line of low volatile organic compounds (VOC)
solvent-based paint products. This meets the prevailing US standards for low VOCs, including the South
Coast Air Quality Management District. It also unveiled Valspar Signature Colors with Hi-DEF Advanced
Color System. This innovative formulation covers most old colors in one coat and delivers a faster, easier
application. Its extrusion coatings group unveiled a new applicator program, which was designed to assist
architects and building owners in sourcing quality aluminum extrusions and wall panels post-painted with
Valspar coatings. Furthermore, in 2010, Valspar designed three colorful spring paint palettes to contribute to
its home products range. Innovative products such as these help the company to offer products that meet
the ever-changing consumer demands and to serve diverse markets more efficiently.
13.5.2 The Valspar Corporation – weaknesses
Weakness – overdependence on a few major customers

Valspar‟s business could be negatively impacted if any of its major customers reduce their purchases or
cancel their regular orders. Although the company has a diverse customer base across a large geographical
area, it generates the majority of its net sales from a few important customers. During FY2010, the
company‟s 10 largest customers generated 35.00% of its total revenues. Moreover, the company‟s top five
customers accounted for 60.00% of the net sales of its paints segment in FY2010. Although Valspar
maintains strong business relationships with these customers, including a few multi-year agreements, there
is no assurance that this will continue. Furthermore, the company has also registered some of its regular
customers reducing their purchases during the review period. It may become difficult for the company to find
an alternative revenue source if any of its major customers reduce their purchase from the company.
Weakness – limited liquidity position

Valspar current ratio was 1.05 at the end of FY2010. This was below the current ratio set by its close
competitors, such as PPG Industries Inc. (PPG) which had a current ratio of 1.95, RPM International Inc.
(RPM) which had a current ratio of 2.54, Akzo Nobel which had a current ratio of 1.41, and HB Fuller which
had a current ratio of 2.31. The company‟s lower current ratio than its competitors indicates its weaker
financial position and indicates its potential inability to meet short-term financial obligations. At the end of
FY2010, the company recorded a short-term debt of US$377.32 million as opposed to its cash and short-
term investments of US$178.17 million, which reflects its limited liquidity. The company‟s limited cash and
liquidity position puts it at a disadvantage in funding any potential expansion opportunity arising in the
market.
Weakness – weak operating performance

Valspar displayed poor financial growth in FY2010, during which the company recorded significant decline in
income levels although its total revenues increased by 22.51% on an annual basis. In FY2010, the company
reported operating loss of US$40.07 million in comparison to the operating income of US$376.08 million it
reported in FY2009. These losses were mainly due to the higher raw material costs, Wattyl operating
expenses and Wattyl acquisition fees. The company‟s operating margin was -1.01% in FY2010, which was
below the operating margin of its close competitors, such as PPG with its margin of 9.65%, RPM with its
margin of 8.73%, Akzo Nobel with its margin of 8.33%, and H.B. Fuller with its margin of 7.05%. The
company also reported a return on equity (ROE) of -11.43%, while its close competitors recorded higher
ROEs, such as PPG with a ROE of 21.14%, RPM with a ROE of 14.97%, Akzo Nobel with a ROE of 8.39%,
and HB Fuller with a ROE of 11.22%. The company's poor operational performance may reduce the
investors‟ confidence in the company, which could limit its financing options for future expansion.
13.5.3 The Valspar Corporation – opportunities

COMPANY PROFILES

Valspar supports the growth of its product portfolio through the acquisition and integration of firms as well as
through organic growth. As part of its inorganic growth strategy, the company acquired Isocoat in February
2011, which manufactures powder coatings used in building products, appliance, transportation and other
general industrial markets in Brazil, Colombia and Argentina. The Isocoat purchase is expected to
strengthen the company‟s presence in Latin America, and to broaden its range of technologies for general
industrial markets. In September 2010, the company completed the acquisition of Wattyl Limited, a paint
manufacturer which is based in Australia. Wattyl Limited distributes leading paint brands to trade customers
through a network of 140 company-owned stores and to retail customers through home improvement
centers and hardware outlets across Australia and New Zealand. Moreover, in June 2010, The Valspar
(Singapore) Corp. Pvt. Ltd acquired DIC Coatings India Ltd, which has provided the company with a
manufacturing site and business operations in India. These strategic acquisitions are expected to strengthen
the company's position in the market, generating increased revenues.
Opportunity – positive outlook of the chemical industry

chemical producer in 2015. Valspar already has a strong presence in the chemical industry, especially in
increase its sales of products that cater to the industry.
13.5.4 The Valspar Corporation – threats
Threat – industry consolidation

Consolidation in the chemicals industry presents a major threat for the company, which may impact its
profitability. The chemical industry has registered an increasing number of mergers and acquisitions (M&A)
during the review period, despite the currently unfavorable economic environment. The strong cash reserves
of leading companies in the industry has enabled these companies to take advantage of the current
environment and make strategic acquisitions at relatively low valuations. Key acquisitions in the industry
include the acquisition of Cognis by BASF in a EUR3.10 billion deal in 2010, and the proposed merger of
Nalco Holding Company with Ecolab for US$8.30 billion in 2011. M&A such as these will strengthen the
position of leading companies in the industry by expanding their geographic presence and product offerings.
The improved position of leading companies is expected to make the competition in the industry more
intense, which may force the company to alter its operations in order to remain competitive. However, any
changes to the company‟s business operations are time-consuming and costly.

decline in construction will be reported by hotel construction, which will decrease in value by 17.90%. The
main reasons for the reduced demand for non-residential construction are the cautious approach of
Threat – Stringent regulations

COMPANY PROFILES
Stringent environmental regulations may impact Valspar‟s operations. The company is subject to numerous
environmental laws and regulations which dictate how Valspar conducts its business operations. The
regulations dictate a variety of business practices, such as on how to discharge pollutants into the air and
water; how to handle, use, treat, store and clean-up hazardous and non-hazardous wastes; and how to
conduct the investigation and remediation of soil and groundwater affected by hazardous substances. The
laws and regulations may impose liability on the costs of, and damages resulting from, cleaning up current
chemical sites, past spills, disposals and other releases of hazardous substances. The company is currently
undertaking remedial activities in a number of its facilities and properties, and has received notices under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). The company
received these notices in connection with the disposal of material from its current and former operations. Any
violation of these laws could subject the company to fines and penalties. Furthermore, the environmental
laws and regulations that govern the company‟s operations have becoming increasingly stricter during the
review period. For example, REACH regulates the products manufactured and marketed in Europe.
Implemented over a period of 11 years, REACH compells all companies to develop and submit dossiers
containing datasets about their chemical products and their potential environmental impact. This will provide
an addition challenge while launching new products as it is a time-consuming and expensive process. It may
also result in phasing out of existing chemicals from the market, which are regarded as toxic and hazardous.
REACH directly applies to over 30,000 different chemical substances that are produced or distributed in
Europe, and its implementation is expected to cost the European chemical industry US$3.00 billion. During
the forecast period, other countries are expected to model their regulations on REACH. The US has already
started implementing similar regulations with the reform of Toxic Substances Control Act. China also has its
own version of RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), which restricts the use of certain chemicals in
the market. The stringent environmental regulations are set to tighten during the forecast period, which will
cause additional operational costs for the company and will threaten its profitability.

14.5 Nippon Paint Co. Ltd – SWOT Analysis
Nippon manufactures paints, coatings and chemicals. The company‟s main strengths are its broad product
applications, strong operating performance, strong liquidity position and enhanced financial leverage.
Meanwhile, its main weakness is its overdependence on a single business area. There are opportunities for
the company to grow from growth potential in emerging markets and the positive outlook of the automotive
industry. However, its operations may be threatened by the increasing raw material costs and declining
building construction starts.
14.5.1 Nippon Paint Co. Ltd – strengths
Strength – broad product applications

The company offers its products which are suitable for a broad range of applications. It offers product in two
categories: paint and coatings, and fine chemicals. In the paints and coatings category, the company offers
paint for automotives, building and construction materials, large structures, vessels or roadways or plant
engineering, and electrical appliances. In the fine chemicals category, the company offers fine chemicals
which are principally used in surface treatment. The company also offers broad range household paints. Due
to the company‟s broad product applications, Nippon can generate revenues from a large customer base
and mitigates the risks associated with overdependence on a single product or end-user market.
Strength – strong operating performance

Nippon generated an enhanced operating performance during 2011. It recorded revenues of JPY227,378.00
million during FY2011, with an annual growth of 5.00% over FY2010. The company‟s operating margin was
6.52% for FY2011, which is higher than its close competitors, such as Rock Paint Co. Ltd with its margin of
2.28% and Shinto Paint Company Ltd with its margin of 2.65%. In addition, Nippon‟s return on equity (ROE)
was 11.26% during FY2011, which is significantly higher than the returns generated by the shareholders of
Rock Paint Co. Ltd with its ROE of 1.87%, and Shinto Paint Company Ltd with its ROE of 3.15%. The
company‟s strong operating performance against its peer group improves investors‟ confidence while
enhancing its growth prospects.
Strength – strong liquidity position

Nippon's current ratio was 1.34 at the end of FY2011. This was higher than the current ratio of its close
competitors, such as Shinto Paint Company Ltd with a ratio of 9.2, and Kawakami Paint Manufacturing Co.
Ltd with a ratio of 0.94. At the end of the FY2011, the company had total current assets worth
JPY133,420.00 million, and cash and equivalents worth JPY28,346.00 million. Its total current liabilities
stood at JPY99,170.00 million, a decrease of 3.62% over 2010. The company‟s strong cash reserves and
liquidity position provides it an advantage while funding any potential opportunity arising in the market.
Strength – enhanced financial leverage

The company‟s enhanced financial leverage and solvency position improves its ability to borrow and repay
money, which can allow it to pursue expansion plans. Nippon‟s solvency position is strong due to its
significant equity funding rather than debt funding. The company recorded a debt to equity ratio of 0.36 in
FY2011, which is lower than its close competitors, such as Kawakami Paint Manufacturing Co. Ltd with a
ratio of 4.17 and Shinto Paint Company Ltd with a ratio of 0.53. Furthermore, the company‟s total debt

COMPANY PROFILES
valued JPY46,364.00 million, which is a reduction of 16.50% compared to its total debts in FY2010.
Moreover, the company's total equity valued JPY127,447.00 million in FY2011, an increase of 5.89% over
FY2010. The company‟s cash and short-term investment valued JPY28,346.00 million, which indicates that
the company has sufficient cash to pay its debt. Nippon‟s strong solvency position indicates its utilization of a
lower financial leverage and comparatively strong equity position, giving it a high creditworthiness.
14.5.2 Nippon Paint Co. Ltd – weaknesses
Weakness – overdependence on select region

The company‟s dependence on Japan for a large proportion of its revenues may be a cause for concern, as
its operations may be weakened by any adverse development in the political, economic or climatic
environment of the region. Although the company has presence in international markets, it generates
significant revenues from Japan. The company is at a major disadvantage as the sales from other regions
do not fully mitigate the risks it faces from the weakened performance of Nippon. The company‟s limited
geographical operations also constrain its ability to capitalize on some growth prospects occurring in areas
the company does not function in.
14.5.3 Nippon Paint Co. Ltd – opportunities
Opportunity – growth potential in emerging markets

share. The growing population and rapid urbanization in developing countries are the principal drivers for
increased demand for residential properties and home furnishing in these countries. For instance, the rapid
urbanization in China may increase the demand for building materials such as paints and coatings that are
used by the increased residential construction activities. China‟s rapid urbanization is being fueled by the
country‟s robust economic growth. According to the World Resource Institute, 1.00 billion people are
expected leave China‟s rural areas to enter its cities by 2025. China is also expected to contain 221 cities
with more than 1.00 million residents by 2025. In addition, the World Resource Institute anticipates that the
urban disposable income per head will increase to US$7,500.00 in 2025. China‟s rapid urbanization and
increased disposable income will raise the demand for housing properties across these cities and, as such,
will generate higher sales of building materials such as paints. Despite the global economic slowdown, the
emerging and developing countries have recorded a high growth rate in 2009 and 2010. According to
International Monetary Fund, the GDP growth rate of India was 10.40% in 2010, and is forecast to achieve a
growth of 8.20% in 2011 and 7.80% in 2012. Similarly, China recorded a GDP growth of 10.30% in 2010,
and projected to grow by 9.60% in 2011 and 9.50% in 2012. The economic growth of these regions will also
increase the ability of people to buy houses in developing countries. Since the company operates in
emerging markets such as China, it could sell more products that find application in the growing number of
residential construction projects.
Opportunity – positive outlook of the automotive industry

revenues. According to the Scotiabank Group‟s Global Auto Report 2011, the number of car sales in North
America rose to 53.96 million units in 2010, an increase of 6.00% over 2009. The Asian auto market size,
which includes India and China, also grew by 15.00% during 2010. According to the International Monetary
Fund, the GDP growth rate of India is projected to grow by 7.80% in 2011, while China is projected to grow
by 9.50% in 2011. These strong GDP growth rates indicate the increased economic activity across these
regions. With the robust economic growth in China, the overall demand in the Chinese automotive market is
forecast to grow by more than 16.00%, requiring more than 11.00 million units. The rise in disposable
income in Asian countries has changed the buying behavior in these regions. As a result, the light vehicle
production in China increased from 4.30 million units in 2006 to 7.70 million units in 2010. Moreover, the light
vehicle production in India increased from 1.40 million units in 2006 to 2.50 million units in 2010. The

COMPANY PROFILES
positive outlook for the automotive industry offers significant growth avenues to the company, since it
provides protective coating solutions to automotive manufacturers.
14.5.4 Nippon Paint Co. Ltd – threats
Threat – increasing prices of raw materials

The rising raw material prices may reduce the company‟s operating margins and profits. The company
mainly requires petroleum-based products as raw materials for its products. However, the oil and gas prices
are rising due to three main reasons: demand outweighing supply, market speculation and the increasing
expense of refining crude oil into gasoline. According to the International Energy Association (IEA), prices
rose from US$111 to US$114 per barrel for Brent crude oil and from US$86 to US$96 per barrel for WTI oil
during September – November 2011. Moreover, the prices for Brent crude oil are expected to remain around
US$110–120 in 2011. The company‟s raw material costs in 2010 were 4–5.00% higher than its raw material
costs in 2009. Nippon may attempt to compensate for the rising raw material prices by increasing the prices
of its products to customers, although doing so may reduce the demand for its products.
Threat – shortage of skilled personnel

The company‟s operations in Japan might face problems due to the shortage of skilled personnel. According
to Manpower 2011 Talent Shortage Survey Results, 80.00% of the employers in Japan find difficulty in filling
job vacancies. This number has increased from 76.00% in 2010. Japan ranks as the highest percentage of
employers who find difficulty in hiring among the 36 countries studied in the survey. Moreover, according to
the survey, it is most difficult to hire sales representatives, technicians and sales manager in that order. As
such, the company‟s operations might be disrupted due to the shortage of labor during the forecast period.

COMPANY PROFILES
15.5 Kansai Paint Co. Ltd – SWOT Analysis
Kansai manufactures and markets paints across Japan, Asia, Americas and Europe. The company‟s main
strengths are its broad product portfolio, focus on research and development activities, strong financial
leverage and strong operating performance. Meanwhile, its main weakness is its overdependence on Japan.
The company has opportunities to grow from the positive Chinese automotive industry and growth prospects
in emerging markets. However, the company‟s operations may be threatened by the increasing prices of raw
materials and labor problems in China.
15.5.1 Kansai Paint Co. Ltd – strengths

Kansai has a broad product portfolio which mitigates the risks associated with overdependence on a single
business operation. The company functions through four reporting segments: automotive coatings, industrial
coatings, decorative coatings, and marine and protective coatings. The company‟s automotive coatings
segment focuses on providing coatings for new cars, and automotive refinishing for automotive
manufacturers and body shops. Its industrial coatings segment offers coatings services for a wide range of
industrial products, including construction vehicles, industrial machines, agricultural equipment, home
electronics, beverage cans, pre-coated metals and various other types of building materials. Moreover, the
company‟s decorative coatings segment offers coatings to protect structures, such as residential houses and
other buildings, from deterioration. It also provides coatings to enhance a structure‟s aesthetics. Meanwhile,
the company‟s marine and protective coatings segment produces coatings for marine structures in order to
provide long-term protection from corrosion, and the company provides protective coatings for land-based
structures. In FY2011, the automotive coatings segment accounted for 42.00% of the company‟s total
revenues, while 29.00% of the revenues came from industrial coatings, 20.00% came from decorative
coatings, and 9.00% came from the marine and protective coatings segment. Due to the variety of products
offered through these four segments, the company avoids overdependence on a single product that could
potentially underperform, and also increases the company‟s potential customer base allowing it to generate
higher revenues.
Strength – focus on research and development activities

Kansai‟s investment in new technologies to develop high performance, energy-efficient products is one of its
main strengths. The company conducts R&D activities through five research institutes and one research
center. Kansai‟s R&D activities mainly focuses on polymer synthesis, new cross-linking reactions, pigment
dispersion, surface and interface control, rheology control, and bio-technologies. The company promotes the
conversion to water-based paints and coatings, and is developing an environmentally friendly coating
system which is capable of reducing the number of coats required while also replacing traditional soluble
coatings with advanced high-solid coatings. The company also focuses on developing coating products with
advanced functions, such as heat shielding and anti-bacterial functions, while it also develops coatings that
provide multiple colors and patterns. The company develops evaluation technologies and evaluation
equipment required for the development of these coatings, which facilitate efficient product development
while also increasing the perfection rate for finished products. In FY2011, the company‟s total R&D
expenditure was JPY5,582.00 million, accounting for 2.36% of its total revenues. The sustained focus on
R&D helps the company to adapt to the changing market dynamics, and to offer innovative products.
Strength – strong financial leverage

The company‟s strong financial leverage or solvency position positively impacts its ability to borrow and
repay money, which can be used in expansion initiatives. Kansai‟s solvency position is strong due to
significant level of equity funding rather than debt. The company recorded a debt to equity ratio of 0.01 in
FY2011, which is significantly lower than its competitors such as Chugoku Marine Paints Ltd, with its ratio of
0.49, and Shinto Paint Company Ltd, with its ratio of 0.53. Furthermore, the company‟s total debt stood at

COMPANY PROFILES
JPY1,646.00 million in FY2011 compared to its total equity of JPY1,67,194.00 million. In addition, the
company‟s long-term debt reduced from JPY811.00 million in FY2010 to JPY372.00 million in FY2011.
Kansai‟s strong solvency position indicates its utilization of lower financial leverage and stronger equity
position, providing it with a relatively high creditworthiness.
Strength – strong operating performance

Kansai exhibited an enhanced operating performance during 2011. It recorded revenues of JPY236,984.00
million during FY2011, with an annual growth of 6.56% over FY2010. Furthermore, the company maintained
operating margin of 8.65% in FY2011, which was higher than its close competitors, such as Shinto Paint
Company Ltd with its margin of 2.65% and Nippon Paint Co. Ltd with its margin of 6.52%. In addition, its
return on equity (ROE) was 7.58% during FY2011. This ROE is also higher than the company‟s close
competitors, such as Shinto Paint Company Ltd which recorded a ROE of 3.15%. The company‟s strong
operating performance generates higher investors‟ confidence while enhancing its growth prospects.
15.5.2 Kansai Paint Co. Ltd – weaknesses
Weakness – overdependence on Japan

The company‟s dependence on Japan for a large proportion of its revenues may be a cause for concern
since its operations may be weakened by any adverse development in the political, economic or climatic
environment of the region. Although the company has a presence in international markets, it generates
61.94% of its revenues from Japan. The company is at a major disadvantage as the sales from other regions
do not fully mitigate the risks it faces from the weakened performance of Kansai. The company‟s limited
geographical operations also restricts its ability to capitalize on some growth prospects occurring in areas
the company does not function in.
15.5.3 Kansai Paint Co. Ltd – opportunities
Opportunity – positive growth prospects of the Chinese automotive industry

The company is expected to benefit from the positive growth prospects of the Chinese automotive industry.
China is one of the fastest-growing automotive markets in the world, and the country‟s annual automotive
sales grew from 18.06 million units in 2010 to 50.00 million units in 2011. This growth is expected to be
driven by high sales in cities like Beijing. According to the Beijing Transport Research Center, Beijing is
expected to register 7.00 million vehicles by 2015. The company may benefit from the positive Chinese
automotive industry, since it supplies high precision sealing and vibration-control solutions and coatings for
new cars in China.
Opportunity – growth potential in emerging markets

The growth prospects in emerging markets may provide opportunities for the company to improve its
profitability. The growing population and rapid urbanization in developing countries are the principal drivers
for increased demand for residential properties and home furnishing in these countries. For instance, the
rapid urbanization in China may increase the demand for building materials such as paints and coatings that
are used by the increased residential construction activities. China‟s rapid urbanization is being fueled by the
country‟s robust economic growth. According to the World Resource Institute, 1.00 billion people are
expected leave China‟s rural areas to enter its cities by 2025. China is also expected to contain 221 cities
with more than 1.00 million residents by 2025. In addition, the World Resource Institute anticipates that the
urban disposable income per head will increase to US$7,500.00 in 2025. China‟s rapid urbanization and
increased disposable income will raise the demand for housing properties across these cities and, as such,
will generate higher sales of building materials such as paints. Despite the global economic slowdown, the
emerging and developing countries have recorded a high growth rate in 2009 and 2010. According to
International Monetary Fund, the GDP growth rate of India was 10.40% in 2010, and is forecast to achieve a
growth of 8.20% in 2011 and 7.80% in 2012. Similarly, China recorded a GDP growth of 10.30% in 2010,

COMPANY PROFILES
and projected to grow by 9.60% in 2011 and 9.50% in 2012. The economic growth of these regions will also
increase the ability of people to buy houses in developing countries. The company‟s Asia-Pacific region
accounted for 16.95% of the company‟s total revenues. Kansai manufactures and supplies all kinds of paints
commercial and residential uses, and the growth of residential construction should increase the demand for
its products in these regions.
15.5.4 Kansai Paint Co. Ltd – threats
Threat – increasing prices of raw materials

The rising raw material prices may reduce the company‟s operating margins and profits. The company
mainly requires petroleum-based products as raw materials for its products. However, the oil and gas prices
are rising due to three main reasons: demand outweighing supply, market speculation and the increasing
expense of refining crude oil into gasoline. According to the International Energy Association (IEA), prices
rose from US$111 to US$114 per barrel for Brent crude oil and from US$86 to US$96 per barrel for WTI oil
during September – November 2011. Moreover, the prices for Brent crude oil are expected to remain around
US$110–120 in 2011. The company‟s raw material costs in 2010 were 4–5.00% higher than its raw material
costs in 2009. Kansai may attempt to compensate for the rising raw material prices by increasing the prices
of its products to customers, although doing so may reduce the demand for its products.
Threat – labor problems in Chinese market

The outbreak of strikes in foreign-invested enterprises in China during the summer of 2010 raised significant
questions regarding the future of China‟s industrial work force. These questions regard how the different
strata of Chinese society, such as the Chinese government, the state-controlled labor union, the All-China
Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) and the general work force, relate to one another. The situation has
been further complicated by the central government‟s support for union activity, which is in conflict with the
local governments‟ concern to increase investments in their regions. The government and the ACFTU are
also considering implementing the collective bargaining system. The Guangdong provincial government has
formulated draft regulations for forming employee representative councils in enterprises, and procedures for
collective wage bargaining. The Shenzhen Economic Zone has also circulated draft regulations on collective
bargaining. The increased union activities around China could be detrimental to Kansai as it could increase
the bargaining power of employees and lead to additional operational costs for the company.
