GLOBAL CRISES IMPACTING WALL PUTTY MARKET RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR IMPACT

"Wall Putty Market Had a Negative Effect Due to Inflated Raw Material Cost During the Russia-Ukraine War"

The Russia-Ukraine War has affected the global wall putty market share on a large scale due to disruption in the supply chain, along with inflated raw material cost. Ukraine and Russia are leading exporters of some types of raw materials used in putting up wall putty, including titanium dioxide. It is a conflict that results in shortages, higher costs of transport, and delays of delivery that catapult prices upwards and render the market volatile. Further, economic sanctions against Russia also battered worldwide trade and affected the availability of materials, forcing manufacturers to seek alternative sources that could be costlier and less effective. This has resulted in slackening growth in the market and caused difficulties both at the manufacturing and consuming ends.

LATEST TREND

"Demand for Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Products to Drive Market Growth"

A major trend that contributes to the growth in the wall putty market is demand for eco-friendly and sustainable products. In this sense, with growing environmental awareness, consumers and builders alike are pursuing wall putty formulations that are low in volatile organic compounds (VOC) and made from natural or recyclable materials. Manufacturers have responded to such pressures through the development of products with not only these eco-friendly standards in mind but also other performance features that enhance such properties as crack resistance, better adhesion, and longer durability. Since this trend for sustainable construction material is now more driven by market demand, it is also turning out to be one of the major growth determinants due to compliance with global trends related to green building practices and environmental responsibilities.
