Powder Coating Trends in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa
To date, only fragmentary data have been published on the Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and African paint and coatings markets. A new Irfab Chemical Consultants study covering more than 25 countries fills in some of the gaps.
In 2003, according to the study, the powder coatings market in Central and Eastern Europe was more than 50,000 tons and valued at more than 160 million euros. About half of the total is locally manufactured by nearly 30 companies; the balance is imported.
