PCI’s annual ranking of the top paint and coatings manufacturers, based on 2025 coatings sales and publicly available corporate information.

Need to Know

Sherwin-Williams remains the largest paint and coatings company in PCI’s annual ranking.
The 2026 Global Top 10 and PCI 25 are based on 2025 coatings sales.
PCI uses publicly available corporate information, including annual reports and company disclosures.
USD conversions are based on average exchange rates over the applicable reporting period.
Major 2025 developments included announced mergers, divestitures, portfolio changes and regional performance shifts.

The following is PCI’s annual ranking of the top 10 global paint and coatings manufacturers, based on each company’s most recently reported fiscal-year results covering 2025 and publicly available corporate information.

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 use the best available reported information and note when a figure reflects broader segment or total company sales. When full segmentation is not available, ranking placement may reflect broader company performance in the absence of more detailed coatings-specific data.
