Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic had a short-term negative impact on the paint stripper market in 2020 due to disruptions in industrial activity, vehicle maintenance operations, and construction projects. Supply chain constraints and reduced workforce availability further affected demand. However, recovery was supported by increased building renovation activities, infrastructure maintenance, and a rise in DIY home improvement projects during and after lockdown periods. Post-pandemic normalization of industrial operations has reinforced steady market recovery.

Porter’s Five Forces Analysis
Threat of New Entrants – Moderate
Entry barriers are moderate due to formulation know-how, regulatory compliance requirements, and the need for established distribution channels. However, contract manufacturing and private-label opportunities allow smaller players to enter niche or regional markets.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers – Moderate
Suppliers of solvents, caustic chemicals, acids, and bio-based ingredients hold moderate power. While raw materials are widely available, price volatility and regulatory-grade sourcing influence costs.
Bargaining Power of Buyers – High
Industrial users, distributors, retailers, and large contractors exert strong bargaining power due to bulk purchasing, product substitutability, and price sensitivity.
Threat of Substitutes – Moderate to High
Mechanical stripping, abrasive blasting, heat-based removal, and surface grinding technologies increasingly substitute chemical paint strippers in certain applications.
Industry Rivalry – High
The market is highly competitive, with global brands and regional manufacturers competing on safety profile, performance, regulatory compliance, and pricing.
