Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for artists' colours in Poland rose steadily from 1 911 tons in 2018 to a peak of 3 213 tons in 2021, fueled by strong growth in imports and expanding domestic production. After a slight dip to 3 097 tons in 2022, the market contracted more noticeably to 2 623 tons in 2023.

During 2023, the decorative paints sector—which includes artists' colours—showed resilience by leveraging past experience and close industry cooperation to manage macroeconomic instability. The market volume recovered modestly to 2 674 tons in 2024, aided by the arrival of new producers and heightened consumer awareness of water-based paints, which stimulated demand in the segment.
