Global Top 10
July 7, 2020

It’s time again for PCI’s annual ranking of the top 10 global and top 25 North American paint and coatings manufacturers. The ranking is based on 2019 coatings sales. Sales of other non-coating products are not included. 2019 was a mixed bag in terms of overall coatings sales. About half of the companies ranked in the Global Top 10 reported an increase in sales, with the other half seeing a decrease. In the Top 25 North American ranking of coatings manufacturers, companies reported either an increase in sales or sales similar to last year. You can read more about this in my Viewpoint. If you have any questions, or feel your company should be included in this ranking, please contact me at parkerpcimag@gmail.com.
