Analyst Opinion

Between 2020-2021, growth in the Paint, Wallpaper and Supplies segment was powered by strong consumer spending as people spent more time at home due to Covid-19 lockdown measures. Once these measures were lifted, a backlog of demand fueled this segment’s revenue growth into 2022. Most of the demand was concentrated in North America and Europe as strict lockdown measures in Asia dampened demand.

In 2022, the Paint, Wallpaper & Supplies segment saw a steep decline in sales due to strong inflationary pressure because of the Russia-Ukraine war and supply chain inefficiencies. Higher prices for food and gas meant that less disposable income could be allocated towards do-it-yourself (DIY) related purchases. Tightening monetary policy brought with it higher mortgage rates which in turn slowed existing real estate sales leading to less demand for paint, wallpaper, and supplies. Furthermore, demand in one of the segments biggest markets, China tumbled due to China’s no-Covid policy contributing the overall decline in this segment’s growth.

With the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions in China, we believe that pinned up demand in this region will accelerate growth the Paint, Wallpaper & Supplies segment. While the housing market may have cooled in North America and Europe, we are optimistic that the downward trajectory of inflation figures will take less pressure off peoples’ wallets allowing them to continue those home improvement projects requiring paint, wallpaper, and other supplies. The pinned-up demand in China will level out towards the end of the year and predict stable growth in the global paint, wallpaper, and supplies segment from there on out.
