Amit Syngle, MD and CEO of Asian Paints, mentioned that the ongoing weak demand conditions that have been present for several quarters continued to impact the paint industry in the last quarter of the financial year.
The demand for decorative coatings was only slightly improved compared to the third quarter.

In the Decorative Business segment in India, volume growth reached 1.8%, but revenue fell by 5.2% in Q4FY25. The segment’s performance was impacted by subdued demand, weak consumer sentiment, downtrading, and increased competition.
The industrial segment experienced a 6% revenue increase in Q4FY25, driven by robust performance in the General Industrial and Automotive coatings sectors. The home décor category continued to face challenges due to a decrease in household disposable income.
While all home décor segments gained from synergies with the Beautiful Homes store network, the progress was not as strong as anticipated.
In the international segment, revenue dropped by 1.5% as a result of macroeconomic difficulties in Africa. Nevertheless, key markets in the Middle East and Asia showed strong performance. On a constant currency basis, the international portfolio experienced a 6% increase during the quarter.
