The latest research by Mordor Intelligence covers the “Wood Coatings Market,” delivering insights into market dynamics, drivers of growth, and long-term forecasts.
Wood Coatings Market Outlook
The global wood coatings market is projected to grow from an estimated 3.42 million tons in 2025 to 4.07 million tons by 2030, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.54 % over the forecast period. This growth is underpinned by sustained demand from furniture, interior décor, and construction sectors, along with increasing regulatory pressure to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in coatings formulations. Asia-Pacific remains the dominant region in terms of both volume share and growth momentum.
As manufacturers and end-users increasingly prioritize performance, sustainability, and compliance, the wood coatings sector is adapting its product mix-and its technology platforms-to match shifting needs. In this press release, we examine the key trends, market segmentation, and leading participants shaping the wood coatings industry through 2030.

Key Trends in the Wood Coatings Market
Shift from Solvent-borne to Water-borne Systems
Although solvent-borne coatings held approximately 78 % of market share in 2024, water-borne technologies are forecast to grow at a higher CAGR of 4.31 % through 2030. The migration is driven by stricter environmental regulations (especially in Europe), consumer demand for greener products, and improvements in waterborne performance-particularly in new polyurethane dispersions that close the durability gap with solvent systems.
Polyurethane Leads Resin Preference
Polyurethane resins accounted for around 60 % of the wood coatings market in 2024 and are projected to maintain the fastest growth among resin types, with a CAGR of 3.79 %. The durability, scratch resistance, and aesthetic clarity of polyurethane make it the preferred choice for high-performance furniture finishes, joinery, and architectural wood surfaces.
Furniture Applications Dominate Demand
The furniture segment accounted for nearly 69 % of total wood coatings usage in 2024, and is expected to grow at about 3.71 % annually through 2030. This dominance stems from rapid growth in ready-to-assemble (RTA) and modular furniture manufacturing in Asia, along with rising demand for premium interior décor in mature markets.
Regional Upside in Asia-Pacific
Asia-Pacific holds a major share of the wood coatings market (around 57 % in 2024), and it is also the fastest-growing region with a projected growth rate of 3.90 % and India are central to this trend: China’s large furniture export base and increasing domestic consumption, and India’s expanding middle class driving higher standards in interior finishes.
Regulatory Pressure and Raw Material Fluctuations
Regulation on VOC emissions is pushing formulators toward low-emission coatings and bio-based additives, especially in Europe and North America fluctuations in key raw materials-such as titanium dioxide-are prompting formulation flexibility and more regional sourcing strategies among major players.
