Iran paints and coatings demand

Iran is considered as an emerging market with a steady rise in number of local industries and coating is an essential part of almost every production. This provides almost unlimited demand for coatings.

Iran has one of the largest oil resources in the world, which contribute to fast and unlimited access to raw material. Therefore not only the price of raw material would be highly competitive, but also producers would save a lot on transportation and logistics.

Iran is located in West Asia and borders the Caspian Sea, Persian Gulf, and Gulf of Oman. It also shares border with Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey and Turkmenistan. Therefore production in this area would be highly accessible for surrounding countries and to the world.

This huge consumer market has been a heaven for producers and service providers. Different products and service with various qualities and prices have managed to obtain considerable market share.
