Once again, Coatings World brings the industry The Top Companies Report—the only truly global ranking of the top manufacturers of paints, coatings, adhesives and sealants.
Our editorial staff has spent long hours researching the industry to provide
you with the most accurate ranking of paint and coatings manufacturers
operating in the global industry. Rankings are based on annual sales in U.S.
dollars. For companies based outside the U.S., sales are translated into U.S.
dollars using exchange rates from the company’s fiscal closing date. For pri-vately-held companies, our staff interviews different industry sources to
come up with an accurate estimate of annual sales. All told, we profiled 64
companies in this report. All have sales of $100 million annually.
Consolidation continues to shape the industry. After the dust settled from
last year’s blockbuster deals—AkzoNobel’s purchase of ICI and PPG’s purchase of SigmaKalon—the revenues for these two firms have risen sharply.
AkzoNobel maintains it lead role and PPG has moved into the number two
slot. While I was researching this year’s report I took a look back at the list
of top companies from ten years ago and it was interesting to compare. Some
companies are still here, some long gone. Take a look for yourself at the lists
on this page. I wonder what it will look like ten years from now?
Our Top Companies Report is intended to provide our readers with a snapshot
of the industry’s most influential players. We hope you will come away with a
clearer insight into the future of this truly global and always evolving industry.
