Paints Industry
Paint is dened as the group of emulsions, consisting of pigments suspended in a liquid medium, for use as decorative or protective coatings. Paint ranges from the broad group of environmentally-sound latex paints used to decorate and protect homes and the translucent coatings that line the interior of food containers, to the chemically-complex, multi-component nishes that automobile manufacturers apply on the assembly line.

Top six organised player accounts for 84% by volume and 63% by value of total organised market

The paint industry is divided into organized and unorganized sector. The unorganized segment plays a huge role in decorative paint segment due to low technical know-how and highly scattered market. The organized segment constitutes around 54% of the total volume and 65% of value of paints industry. Again the whole paints industry can be classied into decorative (75% of total industry size) and industrial paints (25% of total industry size). Further, in organized segment, the top 6 players account for around 84% by volume and 63% by value. The remaining players in organized business are largely present in non-auto industrial segment, and the unorganized players are mainly operational in decorative paints segment as industrial paints requires high technological know how and client tie-ups.

Demand Supply Dynamics

Paint industry grew by 18% as compared to last year

The Indian Paint Industry grew by 18% from Rs. 95 bn. in FY06 to Rs. 112 bn in FY07 (Source: Company). The industry has a positive correlation with GDP as both have same drivers for growth. Demand for paints is both, derived as well as direct. The demand for decorative paints is a direct demand whereas the demand for industrial paints is a derived demand.

Demand drivers for Paints Industries


Increase in Per capita consumption of paints: The per capita consumption of paints in developed countries is around 15-25 kgs and world average is around 15 kgs. Comparing this with domestic consumption, Indias contribution to world paint markets is 0.6% with per capita consumption of around 800-900 gms. Based on the expenditure in the construction activity and increase in the repaint activity coupled with industrial growth, the industry is expected to increase at a 11.85% CAGR over next three years Increase in Real Estate Investments: The demand for decorative paints is directly related to the increase in the investment in the real estate thus increasing the cement area. Out of the total demand for decorative paints, around 30-40% of the demand comes from the fresh construction (Source: CrisInfac). The size of real estate industry is estimated to grow to Rs. 18,517 Bn, over next ve years period (Source: CrisInfac). Investment in real estate will be primarily led by housing, which is expected to account for nearly 90% of total investment in the sector (Source: Cris-Infac). Indias robust economic growth and resultant increase in income are speeding up the pace of urbanization. In India, about three fourth (3/4) of real estate development is for residential use and balance one fourth (1/4) is predominantly for commercial use. Total Construction Investment

Housing investments (permanent, non-slum houses) are expected to grow at a TAGR of 12% over the next 5 years period. On other hand, repainting activity which accounts for 70% of the decorative paint demand is also increasing, mainly due to increase in per capita income. The demand from the repainting activity has increased by 6-7 percent in last two year. Based on the expected investment in the housing, demand for paint is expected to increase at a CAGR of 12 percent over the next 5 years (source: CRISINFAC). Increase in Industrial Paints: The industrial paint segment is divided into automotive industrial paints and non-automotive industrial paints. Increase in income levels of the consumers contributes towards the growth in the auto-segment and growth in the industrial segments like power, road and infrastructure leads to growth in the non-automotive segment. Along with these, growing needs for consumer durables and export opportunity for auto ancillaries will also contribute towards the growth of industrial paints. Increase in Per Capita Income: The above mentioned increase in demand for paints is backed well by increase in per capita income. Due to increase in disposable income, Indian consumer is expected to shift from lime wash to paints and those already consuming paints would move up the value chain. On other hand, the increasing capacity would also drive automotive and consumer durable, thereby increasing the consumption of industrial paints.

Increase in per capita income will lead to increase in repaint activity

(Source: MGI Report)


Prices in line with substitute product: Large scale of operations and technical know-how have helped prices of paints to come down. They are now in line with those of substitute products like lime wash, distemper etc., manufactured by local players. This gives consumers the incentive to shift from lime to paints.

Supply Side

Source: ACMIIL Research, Capitaline The major players that control the organized sector are shown in the above diagram. The dynamics that control the supply side scenario are: Distribution

Decorative paints requires wider distribution network as compared to industrial paints

In case of industrial paints, distribution network doesnt play an important role, whereas the situation is totally different in case of the decorative paints. India being a wide and scattered market having a large distribution network becomes prime requirement for any company in decorative paints business. Outsourcing: The organized players in the decorative paint segment have to compete directly with those in the unorganized sector manufacturing low cost paints like distemper and enamels. In-order to face this competition organize players outsource small part of their production (25-30%). Import Scenario: Indian climatic conditions are not conducive for foreign formulations and modication cost in product formulation is quite high. As a result, imports are no threat to the Indian players. In case of industrial paints, most of the major players in the industry already have a tie-up with global players, for latest technology and markets accessible to them. It negates the further supply from the international markets even after reduction of import duty from 40% to 15.3% in last 8 years.

Due to conducive climatic condition imports are no threat to Indian players

Manufacturing Process

Cost Structure The paint industry is raw material intensive industry. It takes around 300 different raw materials to make paint, most of which are petroleum based. These raw materials can be divided into three broad categories as shown in the chart below:

Source: ACMIIL Research

TiO2 constitutes around 30% of total manufacturing cost

Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) is the largest consumed raw material for manufacture of paints. It constitutes around 30% of the total manufacturing cost. TiO2 is available in two grade i.e. rutile (imported and mainly used by the Indian paint industry) and anatase (manufactured domestically). Besides TiO2, there are other petroleum based raw materials which constitute around 40-50% of total raw material consumed. Hence any movement in crude oil prices will impact the protability of the company.

Petroleum products accounts for 40-50% of total raw material cost

Risk
Industry Growth: Growth in paint industry is dependent on two activities (a) repaint activity and (b) construction industry. Repaint activity which constitutes around 60-70% of the total decorative paint and remaining by fresh construction. Both the activities are dependent upon the GDP growth and per capita income growth. The demand for industrial paints will also be hampered if GDP growth slowsdown due to slower industrial activity. Any slow down in growth rate of any of the above factors will have direct impact on the volume of APL, thus effecting its protability and margins. Low Entry barrier: Setting up new facility requires low capex making the players more vulnerable to increase in competition APL has the major threat from the new entrant. Due to very capital requirement for setting up a new plant, the company faces a constant threat from new player entry in the market.

Socio-Cultural Risk in International Market: APLs 18% of revenue comes from the international business, spread across 22 countries all over the world. Thus creating a cultural risk for the company in those regions. Any change in the taste and consumption pattern in these countries will impact the companys revenues and prots. Increase in Raw Material Prices: As the major raw material for manufacturing paint is PAN and PENTA, the company is directly exposed to changes in the crude oil price movement.
