The primary growth driver of the marking coating market is the increasing demand for infrastructure development and road safety measures. This includes the expansion of highways, urban development, and regulatory requirements for road markings. Governments are investing in the construction and maintenance of highways, roads, and other transport infrastructure, thus increasing the demand for road marking coatings. According to the Urban Institute, in 2021, state and local governments in the U.S. spent USD 206 billion on highways and roads, accounting for 6% of direct general spending. In terms of state and local direct general expenditures, highways and roads were the fifth-largest in 2021. Road markings are essential for traffic management, safety, and regulatory compliance. New roads and highways require fresh markings while existing ones need periodic maintenance and reapplication.

Industries are required to adhere to strict safety regulations, necessitating clear and durable markings to communicate hazards and safety information. Many sectors, including food and pharmaceuticals, must comply with specific labeling standards, driving demand for high-quality marking coatings. Compliance with environmental standards encourages the use of eco-friendly marking coatings, pushing manufacturers to innovate and adopt sustainable solutions. The rise in construction activities and the need for durable, high-visibility coatings to enhance safety and compliance are also significant factors driving the marking coating market.
