2025 Global Top 10: Top Paint and Coatings Companies

Annual Ranking of Top Paint and Coatings Companies

July 10, 2025

The following is PCI’s annual ranking of the top 10 global paint and coatings manufacturers, based on 2024 coatings sales and publicly available corporate information. All financial data is converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates from OANDA as of the final day of each company’s fiscal year.

Wherever possible, PCI strives to report coatings-only sales. However, not all companies publicly break out coatings revenue from broader business segments. In such cases, we rely on the best available information and clearly indicate when reported figures reflect known coatings sales. When full segmentation is not available, placement in the rankings may reflect total company performance in the absence of more detailed coatings-specific data.

For additional context — including notable product launches, acquisitions, partnerships, capital investments, expansions, sustainability initiatives, personnel changes, and other strategic developments — click the "View Details" button for each listing.
