NEWARK, Del., March 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The road marking coatings market is experiencing significant growth driven by infrastructure expansion, increasing road safety regulations and advances in coating technologies. As cities around the world focus on improving traffic management and pedestrian safety, the demand for durable, highly visible road markings is growing. The market is expected to grow at a steady CAGR, with key regions such as North America, Europe and Asia Pacific leading the adoption rate.
With the advent of IoT-based road markings and the growing focus on sustainability, the market is moving towards intelligent and adaptive solutions. Water-based and thermoplastic road markings are becoming increasingly popular due to their environmental benefits and durability. The integration of intelligent transportation systems and related infrastructure has further fueled innovation in road marking technology.
The global road marking paint market size is expected to reach USD 3,023.8 million in 2025 and USD 4,606.7 million by 2035, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 4.3%. This growth is mainly driven by the continuous development of infrastructure construction, continuous improvement of road safety regulations and continuous development of urbanization.
The convergence of intelligent road technologies is revolutionizing the road marking paint market. IoT-enabled road markings, LED lane indicators, and heat-sensitive paints improve traffic management and support autonomous vehicle navigation. These innovations improve safety, reduce congestion, and provide real-time data for infrastructure maintenance, making roads more efficient and better able to adapt to changing road conditions.
As people become more environmentally conscious, sustainable and eco-friendly coatings are becoming increasingly popular in the road marking industry. Water-based and bio-based coatings are replacing solvent-based coatings due to their low VOC emissions and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, thermoplastic coatings, known for their durability and recyclability, are becoming the preferred choice for durable road markings. Governments and industry leaders are prioritizing these solutions to meet regulatory standards while improving road safety and sustainability.
“The road marking paints and coatings market is growing at a rapid pace amid the boom in smart technologies and green innovations. Increased investment in IoT-enabled road infrastructure and sustainable coatings are driving long-term market growth and compliance,” said Nikhil Kaitwade, Vice President, Future Market Insights (FMI).
Depending on the application area, the industry is divided into road and highway marking, sidewalk marking, parking lot marking, factory marking, airport marking, construction site marking and other applications.
