Paint manufacturers are set to host the maiden edition of the West Africa Coatings Show from July 2 to 4, 2025, as stakeholders gear up to unlock fresh opportunities in the region’s growing paints and coatings industry.
According to a statement, the Paint Manufacturers Association of Nigeria will host the event in Lagos in partnership with dmg. The organisers said the event is billed to be the largest gathering of professionals in the coatings industry across West Africa.
Chairman of PAM Nigeria, Abimbolu Babatunde, said the exhibition would support innovation, raise standards and open commercial opportunities for Nigerian manufacturers, noting, “We’re excited to partner with dmg events to launch the West Africa Coatings Show, especially as the region’s paints and coatings market is experiencing significant growth and opportunity.
“This event comes at a perfect time to support innovation, raise industry standards and create new commercial prospects for local manufacturers.”
Nigeria’s paints and coatings market is projected to reach $2.7bn by 2025, growing at an annual rate of four per cent, according to industry estimates.
The growth is driven by rapid urbanisation, a construction boom and rising demand for eco-friendly products. Decorative paints dominate the market, while demand for protective coatings is increasing across the oil, gas and infrastructure sectors.
The Associate Vice President of The Coatings Group, Paddy O’Neill, said the show responds to a growing demand for industry connection and innovation.
“We’re grateful for the strong collaboration with PMA and the support of our sponsors, including CAP Plc and Multichem,” he said. “We’re looking forward to bringing the industry together in Lagos and establishing a lasting platform for growth across the West African coatings industry.”
Over 100 brands from more than 15 countries are expected to exhibit at the event, which targets manufacturers, raw material suppliers, distributors, buyers, chemists and formulators.
Exhibitors include Brenntag, Multichem Industries, Bühler, Shrine Chemicals, ALLCHEM, Altek, Parco Enterprises Nigeria, Chizzy Nigeria, Samking, Danel Nigeria, Global Chem and Chemflow West Africa.
