Japan’s Nippon Paints is entering the decorative paint market in
the Philippines to cash in on the country’s booming economy. Nip-
pon Paint (M) Sdn Bhd Group general manager Gladys Goh Kaye
Jen said the Philippine paint and coatings market is approximately
$760 million, 65 percent of which is made up of the decorative or
architectural paints segment.
Nippon Paints has been in the Philippines since the 1970s, catering mostly to the industrial market by producing coatings for
motorcycle, automotive and marine/shipbuilding industries. This
segment of the company has been growing in the country by 10 to
15 percent annually.
The paint-maker, which has a presence in 15 countries and employs 15,000 workers across Asia, had been absent in the biggest
money-maker for paint makers in the Philippines until the launch of
Nippon decorative paints.
