The solid content (40%) accounted for USD 1.81 billion in 2023. Opaque polymers with a 40% solid content command their own market share, particularly in applications where a higher concentration is necessary to achieve enhanced opacity and performance. This type is favored in industries such as paints and coatings, where a higher solid content contributes to improved hiding power and durability.
 

The paints & coatings segment held a dominant market share of around 49.4% in 2023 and is expected to grow at a lucrative pace by 2032. The paint and coatings segment commands a significant portion of the market share, driven by the widespread adoption of opaque polymers to enhance the quality and performance of paints. These polymers contribute to improved hiding power, durability, and weather resistance, making them indispensable in architectural and automotive coatings.
 

Europe region dominated the opaque polymers market with majority market share and a revenue of USD 870 million in 2023 and is anticipated to expand at a significant pace from 2024-2032. In the paints and coatings sector, European countries prioritize high-quality formulations, contributing significantly to the market share of opaque polymers. The architectural and automotive coatings industries, in particular, leverage these polymers to meet strict performance and environmental standards. Additionally, the personal care segment in Europe witnesses a steady demand for opaque polymers, driven by the region's thriving cosmetics and skincare markets.
