🧠 What This Means for Investors
Asian Paints continues to maintain its leadership by expanding distribution in rural India and launching premium finishes. Berger Paints, with 17.6%, is steadily growing via decorative and waterproofing segments, while Kansai Nerolac is strong in automotive paints but needs to catch up in B2C branding.
Despite smaller shares, Birla Opus and AkzoNobel are actively investing in marketing and tech-led innovation to capture urban consumers. The “Others” category still holds a respectable 6.4%, hinting at rising regional brands.
