November 24, 2004 -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c9841) has announced the addition of A Profile Of The Middle Eastern And African Paint Industries to their offering

Huge levels of state and overseas investment in infrastructure, real estate and tourism provide the keys to growth in many of these markets, with major sporting events in Qatar in 2006 and possibly South Africa in 2010 providing opportunities for the paint industry. In Iraq there is also thought to be much potential from 2006 onwards and many of the paint industries in the region will be wellplaced to capitalise on the market associated with rebuilding Iraq. Many of the markets in North Africa offer attractive growth rates, while some in the Middle East are more static.

This report provides a rare opportunity to access a collection of data on paint in the Middle East and Africa and will serve as a valuable tool to strategic planners, business analysts and marketing managers involved in the manufacture, distribution and marketing of paints and coatings and their raw materials. A five-year forecast for paint demand from 2003 to 2008 is also given with growth rates for each country

This report discribes the collective paint demand of over 1.8 million tonnes which is summarised for the following 22 countries:

Middle East Africa
-Bahrain
-Iran
-Iraq
-Israel
-Jordan
-Kuwait
-Lebanon
-Oman
-Qatar
-Syria
-UAE

Africa
-Algeria
-Cameroon
-Egypt
-Gabon
-Ivory Coast
-Morocco
-Namibia
-Senegal
-South Africa
-Tunisia
-Zambia

A summary of paint production, paint imports and exports, paint consumption and per capita paint consumption is provided for each country. In addition this report carries additional detail on the paint market sectors in percentage terms according to sector share and with an overall market share (in %) by company. Decorative paint markets are examined according to the demand and drivers for water-based paints - or otherwise - as well as looking into purchasing behaviour (DIY vs BIY or professional) and the penetration of in-store colour mixing systems. Selected markets for industrial wood coatings and powder coatings are also covered. In many cases powder coatings are known as a small growth sector of unquantified volume. Each chapter is finished with a summary of paint statistics for 2003 for easy comparison and reference.
