Since Sherwin-Williams’ acquisition of Valspar in 2017, I have wondered if and when the company and its increasing sales numbers would move ahead of number-one PPG. With PCI’s estimate of Sherwin-Williams’ coatings sales at $14.69 billion in this issue's annual Global Top 10 ranking, 2020 was the year. Sherwin-Williams saw a 2.6% increase in sales for 2020 compared to 2019, while PPG reported a decline in net sales of 9%. Sherwin-Williams reported in its annual report that sales in its DIY segment recorded the largest increase, as consumers turned to home improvement projects during lockdowns.
PPG的销售数字还表明，为DIY市场提供大量建筑涂料的公司比在保护性和工业领域拥有更多业务的公司要好。在2020年，PPG的性能涂料领域（包括其建筑涂料产品）与2019年相比下降了6％，而其工业涂料领域的净销售额下降了12.5％。其他在汽车涂料领域拥有重要业务的公司，例如Axalta和Basf，在2020年期间也报告了销售额较低。就PCI 25中列出的较小的北美公司而言，结果混合了，尽管挑战挑战，但许多公司仍然保持稳定，销售量下降和一些发布销售额的下降。
收购新闻在2021年开始了Akzonobel和PPG之间的竞标战争，为领先的北欧油漆供应商Tikkurila发动了竞标，该战争的收入约为2020年的收入约为6.8亿美元。PPG最终超过了Akzonobel，并宣布了6月最终的收购。Tikkurila的购买，2020年底购买Ennis-Flint以及今年的Wörwag和Versaflex的购买有可能将超过15亿美元的PPG净销售量加起来。
尽管第一公司的位置的变化很有趣，但2020年远非正常，而2021年则承诺要面临自己的挑战。Covid-19继续在全球经济中发挥着重要作用，因为一些美国等国家正在恢复，而大流行正在破坏世界其他地区，包括印度和南美部分地区。凭借现代业务的相互联系，疫苗接种全世界在全球经济健康中发挥着关键作用。
2021年企业面临的另一个挑战是，全球供应链中显然弱势群体似乎已经暴露出来。这些供应链问题和此类问题的短缺或加剧的问题对涂料行业产生了影响。188BET竞彩例如，微芯片短缺会影响汽车行业，这反过来影响汽车涂料供应商。另一个例子是木材价格的急剧上涨及其对包括涂料在内的下游行业的影响。
Despite uncertainties, global demand for coatings appears to be on the upswing. According to research by CHEM Research GmbH of Mainz, Germany, global demand for coatings in the first quarter of 2021 increased by 14% compared to the first quarter of 2020, when the market contracted by 5%. Demand for decorative coatings was up 22% due to construction activities in China and the United States, and growth in the DIY business in both North America and Europe. The research also reports a gradual increase in demand for industrial coatings, with growth reported at 5%. The strongest growth was reported in China and India, with more moderate growth in Europe, and North America lagging a bit behind other regions. This data suggest that uncertainties aside, things are looking up for coatings manufacturers.
