A Profile of the Spanish and Portuguese Paint Industries

Keywords Spain, Portugal, Paint industry

Information Research (IRL) has announced the publication of another new title in its range of national paint industry profiles: A Profile of the Spanish and Portuguese Paint Industries. This single-volume edition provides an insight into the two paint industries and markets of the Iberian Peninsula.

The Spanish paint industry is both large and fragmented. It has about 500 companies, with 150 operating on a significant scale. Almost two-thirds of the Spanish paint manufacturers are to be found in Cataluña, Valencia and Madrid. The Spanish paint market is also fragmented and led by PPG, Akzo Nobel and BASF. Industrias Titán is the only indigenous manufacturer with a market share in excess of 5 percent, as in Table I.

Prospects for the Spanish paint industry continue to be good with market growth tracking the healthy Spanish economy. The Spanish paint market is therefore expected to grow from almost 576,000tons in 2002 to about 619,000tons in 2007, or by 1.5 percent per annum.

The Portuguese paint industry has about 150 manufacturers, with three-quarter of these located in Porto and Lisbon. Only about 40 companies produce paint on a large-scale. The market is more concentrated in Portugal than in Spain with the top four companies occupying 74 percent of the market, as seen in the chart (Figure 1).

The Portuguese paint market has contracted in recent years. The outlook for the Portuguese construction industry is particularly bleak in 2004, but together with government reforms a return to slow market growth is anticipated from 2005 onwards. Paint demand in Portugal is expected to grow from almost 194,000tons in 2002 to 202,000tons in 2007, or by an average of 2.8 percent per annum.
