Wood varnishes are usually transparent in color. They seal the pores on the wooden surface and thus prevent the action of microorganisms, which could potentially damage the surface. Different kinds of wood varnishes are available in the market, including exterior wood varnishes, waterborne proof varnishes, radiation cure, and wood finishing. The application of varnish makes it easier to clean the surface. Wood varnishes provide protection against scratches, knocks, and scuffs.

However, post lockdown, the market is expected to grow, as reconstructions, rebuilding, and maintenance activities are anticipated to increase at a considerable rate.

Market scenario analysis

Increase in purchasing power around the world is a major driver for of the wood varnishes market. With increase in urbanization and increase in population, the demand for houses and subsequently furniture is increasing, thereby boosting the global market growth of wood varnishes. Moreover, substantial growth in the residential construction industry in developing regions fuels the expansion of the overall wood varnishing industry. In addition, end users contribute to large demand for the wood varnishes market as compared to new projects. However, the availability of low-cost substitutes and stringent environmental regulations for solvent-based wood coatings may restrain the growth of the product market during the forecast period.On the contrary, the demand for low-VOC coatings is likely to create potential growth opportunities for players in the market during the forecast period.
