China's paint industry is seriously lagging behind in standardization management

So far, the Chinese paint industry has come a long way. There are many places in the development process that are worth learning from, but it also exposes some problems:

1. Small scale of China's paint industry Looking at the Chinese paint industry, there are more than 7,000 paint companies, mainly small and medium-sized enterprises. Although the proportion of large and medium-sized enterprises' production has improved, the small and medium-sized enterprises have developed rapidly and steadily in the coatings industry. Bring a lot of negative influence. The backward production technology and the paint products that should be eliminated but still being produced have hindered the healthy development of the paint industry.

2. Insufficient investment in research and development of high-end products In recent years, many foreign coating companies have entered China and set off a gold rush. Foreign paint companies have taken China as the core of the Asia-Pacific region, and relocated or newly set up their R&D centers in Shanghai and other places. They have a strong technical backing, while Chinese paint and coating companies have invested too little in research and development, resulting in China’s high end The gap between coatings and international brand coatings is increasing.

3. Severe lag in standardizing paints With the emphasis placed on the health, environmental protection, and sustainable development of the paint industry in recent years, the industry standards for the Chinese paint industry have clearly lagged behind the overall paint industry's development speed. During the 11th Five-Year Plan period, we can also see that many paint standards have been continuously revised to meet the environmental protection requirements of consumers today, such as GB18581-2009 “Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Solvent Wood Coatings for Interior Decorating Materials”, GB18583- In 2008, the “Restrictions on Harmful Substances in Indoor Decoration Materials Adhesives” and GB18582-2008 “Restrictions on the Harmful Substances in Interior Decoration Materials Interior Wall Coatings” and other standards were revised, and more paint standards were introduced.
