由于对低VOC或零VOC产品的转变趋势，使得水性油漆系统需求日益增加，这给油漆和涂料添加剂供应商提供了巨大的增长潜力。
    根据全球工业分析公司（GIA）的新报告“涂料添加剂：全球战略商业报告”，2015年世界市场对涂料添加剂预计将超过60亿美元。全球涂料添加剂的市场增长主要来源于亚太地区等新兴市场。

The trend towards low- or zero-VOC products and the increasing shift towards water-based paint systems are fueling demand for paint additives, providing tremendous growth potential for suppliers of paint and coating additives. According to the new report "Paint Additives: A Global Strategic Business Report" by Global Industry Analysts Inc. (GIA), the world market for paint additives is projected to exceed USD 6 billion by the year 2015. Growth in the global market for paint additives is primarily originating from emerging markets such as Asia-Pacific. The rapid economic growth in most of the emerging countries in recent years resulted in increased demand for paint additives. Owing to continued growth in architectural construction activity in countries such as India and China, Asia-Pacific is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing regional market for paint additives worldwide in the coming years. The United States dominates the world paint additives market as the single-largest market.
