Product
Comprehensive Performance Coatings Portfolio
PPG holds a leading share in performance coatings, supplying high-durability systems for aerospace, marine, and automotive refinish where its coatings cut corrosion and lifecycle costs by up to 30% versus industry benchmarks; 2024 segment revenue roughly $2.1B, with growth driven by premium formulations. By end-2025 PPG integrated advanced sealants and adhesives, creating a holistic protection suite for global transport, supporting OEMs and MROs across 45 countries. These products resist extreme heat, salt, and UV, and boost asset residual value through improved finish longevity and reduced maintenance cycles.
Sustainable and Eco-friendly Solutions
PPG has increased low-VOC and waterborne coatings sales, with sustainable products representing about 18% of 2024 coatings revenue (~$1.2B of segments' $6.7B), responding to tighter regs and demand.
Its heat-management coatings can cut building cooling energy use by up to 25% in trials, and EV battery fire-protection materials target a growing $2.4B market by 2030.
These offerings help industrial clients pursue net-zero targets while keeping performance parity with conventional coatings.
Industrial and OEM Specialized Coatings
PPG’s Industrial and OEM Specialized Coatings supply tailored solutions to automakers, packagers and general industry, including electronic functional coatings and beverage-can linings meeting 2025 food-safety regs; the segment—highly technical and co-developed with client engineering teams—generated about $1.2bn in 2024 sales for PPG’s industrial coatings group, growing ~6% YoY on customized, value-added contracts.
Specialty Materials and Optical Products
PPG’s Specialty Materials and Optical Products segment includes silica, photochromic lens materials, and OLED materials, diversifying beyond paints into high-growth tech and healthcare-adjacent markets.
Transitions Optical, a flagship brand, generated roughly $350m in retail-equivalent sales in 2024 and highlights PPG’s edge in light-management and higher-margin consumer health products.
Diversification reduces exposure to cyclical construction/auto markets and positions PPG for durable margins and tech-driven growth.
- Specialty materials: silica, photochromic, OLED
- Transitions Optical: ~$350m retail sales 2024
- Higher margins; less cyclical demand
Digital Color and Application Tools
PPG’s Digital Color and Application Tools bundle cloud-based color databases, PPG LINQ color-matching, and app-guided application to cut rework and waste; PPG reported digital sales growth of ~15% in 2024, driven by coatings-agnostic services used by pros and refinishers.
These tools shift PPG from product to service-led model, boosting repeat purchases and loyalty while lab tests show color-match accuracy within 0.5 Delta E, lowering material waste up to 12% in refinish ops.
- Cloud color database: real-time updates
- PPG LINQ: ~0.5 Delta E accuracy
- Digital sales growth: ~15% (2024)
- Waste reduction: up to 12% in refinish
