The world’s largest automotive refinish paint brand has changed hands: PPG surpasses Axalta for the first time

On August 10, 2026, TuJie—the China-based professional financial media outlet covering the coatings industry—released the '2026 Global Top 10 Automotive Refinish Paint Brands Ranking' (Note: Click here to view the full ranking). On this globally unique and authoritative ranking dedicated exclusively to the automotive refinish paint sector, a historic shift quietly occurred: U.S.-based PPG claimed the top spot for the first time, with $2.064 billion in sales revenue and an 18.76% global market share; meanwhile, long-time leader Axalta slipped to second place, reporting $2.051 billion in sales revenue and an 18.65% global market share. Though the gap between them is minuscule—just $13 million and 0.11 percentage points—this narrow 0.11-percentage-point lead marks the formal transfer of leadership in the world’s largest automotive refinish paint brand. For several years, Axalta had been widely regarded as the undisputed leader in the automotive refinish paint segment. With over 150 years of history in the coatings industry, Axalta serves more than 90,000 body shops across over 140 countries worldwide. Yet in fiscal year 2025, this century-old enterprise encountered a growth plateau. Its financial report shows that Axalta’s full-year 2025 net sales totaled $5.12 billion, down 3% year-on-year; its automotive refinish paint business generated $2.051 billion in revenue, down sharply by 5.2% year-on-year. Although the company achieved a record-high adjusted EBITDA margin of 22% through product portfolio optimization and cost control, persistently declining volumes eroded its scale advantage in this core business segment. Meanwhile, Axalta is undergoing large-scale consolidation within the global coatings industry—the proposed merger of equals with AkzoNobel is underway, which may have partially diverted management’s attention and resources away from competitive efforts in the refinish paint market. In stark contrast to Axalta’s volume contraction, PPG demonstrated greater resilience in its refinish paint business. Although PPG Industries’ full-year 2025 net sales stood at $15.875 billion—essentially flat year-on-year—and its automotive refinish paint organic sales declined by a mid-single-digit percentage due to lower volumes, price increases partially offset this decline. It was precisely through this 'price-for-volume' strategy that PPG managed to stabilize its revenue base amid fluctuating market demand. According to PPG’s financial community disclosures, its automotive refinish paint business accounted for approximately 13% of group revenue in 2025, equating to $2.064 billion. Additionally, in early 2026, PPG acquired Dutch collision repair spray equipment manufacturer EMM International—a move expected to further strengthen its integrated competitiveness across the refinish paint value chain.
