Paint India 2026 Highlights Sustainable Chemical Products

Specialty chemical manufacturer hubergroup Chemicals is expanding its engagement in India’s paints and coatings sector with a broader product showcase at PAINT INDIA 2026, underscoring the strategic importance of advanced resins, additives and custom chemical solutions amid rising demand for sustainable building materials.The company will present its latest portfolio at the three-day industrial trade fair in Mumbai from February 19 to 21, leveraging the event to deepen partnerships and spur innovation in a market linked closely to urbanisation and construction growth. 

PAINT INDIA, one of Asia’s largest exhibitions for the paint, coatings and allied industries, draws manufacturers, formulators and raw-material suppliers from across the value chain. hubergroup Chemicals plans to exhibit an expanded range of resins, energy-curing UV monomers and oligomers, colourants and additives, alongside capabilities in custom manufacturing for tailored raw materials. The company’s presence reflects a broader shift within the sector towards specialty inputs that enhance performance, sustainability and safety metrics in decorative and industrial coatings. Urban planners and industry strategists observe that advances in coatings technology are increasingly relevant to construction and infrastructure sectors, where demand for durability, weather resistance and low-emission materials is rising. Specialty resins and UV-curable components — which dry or cure rapidly under ultraviolet light — can improve production efficiency and reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, aligning with regulatory trends favouring greener formulations. Skills in formulation science and distribution depth are now critical success factors in evolving paint markets. 

Another focal point for hubergroup at the PAINT INDIA expo will be its custom manufacturing operations, which enable producers and industrial partners to co-develop raw materials to specific technical or performance criteria. This reflects an industry shift towards bespoke solutions as project owners — from real estate developers to infrastructure integrators — seek materials that meet precise aesthetic, performance and sustainability specifications. Analysts say that custom chemical services can help accelerate product innovation cycles and reduce time-to-market for coatings companies. India’s decorative coatings market — encompassing paints for residential, commercial and industrial use — is projected to grow in line with urban expansion, rising housing completions and public infrastructure activity. The sector’s growth is attracting greater investment in formulation technologies that can reduce environmental impact and improve long-term asset resilience. Events like PAINT INDIA play a key role in disseminating technological advancements and facilitating connections between global suppliers and local manufacturers. 

However, industry participants caution that adoption of advanced chemical inputs in paints and coatings requires parallel strengthening of technical expertise among applicators and developers. Training in new material handling and quality control becomes vital as formulations evolve. This speaks to broader workforce and skills challenges in the building materials supply chain, especially in fast-growing urban regions where quality and performance expectations are rising.

For exhibitors like hubergroup Chemicals, PAINT INDIA 2026 is more than a product showcase: it signals commitment to positioning India as a key market for high-performance, customisable and sustainable coating materials. As the country’s built environment accelerates, such supply-side innovations are likely to influence how urban projects prioritise performance and environmental credentials in their material specifications.
