The Indian government has implemented various policies and regulations to promote sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. This has led to a shift towards the use of low VOC (volatile organic compound) solvent-borne coatings, which comply with environmental standards. The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 provides the legal framework for environmental protection in India. It empowers the central government to take measures to protect and improve the environment and prevent and control pollution. The act establishes the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) to enforce environmental regulations and standards, including those related to the solvent-borne market. Also, Hazardous Waste Management Rules, 2016 govern the management, handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste generated by various industries, including the solvent-borne industry. The rules specify requirements for waste generation, treatment, transportation, and disposal to prevent environmental pollution and protect human health. In addition, Manufacture, Storage, and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules, 1989 regulate the handling, storage, and transportation of hazardous chemicals, including solvents. They mandate that industries using hazardous chemicals, such as those in the solvent-borne market, follow specific safety measures, maintain safety data sheets, and undertake risk assessments. Furthermore, Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Standards sets standards for various products, including coatings and solvents. These standards define quality, performance, safety, and labeling requirements for solvent-borne coatings and related products. Compliance with BIS standards are often mandatory to ensure product quality and consumer safety.

Traditional solvent-borne coatings are associated with high VOC emissions, which contribute to air pollution and have adverse effects on human health. This has prompted the industry to focus on developing low VOC formulations and alternative eco-friendly technologies. Waterborne and powder coatings have gained popularity due to their lower VOC content, improved safety, and ease of application. These alternatives pose a challenge to the solvent-borne market, pushing manufacturers to innovate and adapt. The availability and cost of raw materials, such as solvents and resins, can impact the overall profitability of the solvent-borne coatings industry. Fluctuations in crude oil prices and limited domestic production of certain raw materials can pose challenges to the market. Increasing investments in infrastructure, automotive production, and consumer goods sectors will continue to drive the demand for solvent-borne coatings and adhesives. Similarly, the industry will need to address environmental concerns and focus on sustainable practices to stay competitive in the evolving market landscape.
