The following is PCI’s annual ranking of the top 25 North American paint and coatings manufacturers, based on 2024 coatings sales and company-reported data.

Wherever possible, PCI strives to report coatings-only sales. However, not all companies publicly break out coatings revenue from broader business segments. In such cases, we rely on the best available information and clearly indicate when reported figures reflect known coatings sales. When full segmentation is not available, placement in the rankings may reflect total company performance in the absence of more detailed coatings-specific data.

This eBook provides coatings sales figures for each listed company. To explore additional coverage — including notable product launches, acquisitions, facility expansions, sustainability initiatives, personnel moves and strategic partnerships — visit the full PCI 25 report online.

For editorial insights into coatings industry performance, market dynamics, and notable shifts throughout 2024, read this issue’s Editor’s Viewpoint. If you believe your company qualifies for next year’s ranking, please contact Courtney Bassett at bassettc@bnpmedia.com.

The Sherwin-Williams Co., founded in 1866, supplies coatings and related products to professional, industrial, commercial and retail customers primarily through a network of branded stores in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. The company employs approximately 64,800 people and operates through three segments: the Paint Stores Group, the Consumer Brands Group and the Performance Coatings Group.

Sherwin-Williams reported 2024 consolidated net sales of approximately $23.1 billion, up from $23.05 billion in 2023. An estimated 84%, or approximately $19.38 billion, came from coatings sales, with the remainder from noncoatings products such as floor coverings and application supplies.

The Paint Stores Group reported $13.2 billion in net sales, a 2.7% increase from 2023, accounting for 57% of total sales. The group added 79 new stores in 2024, bringing the total to 4,773 company-operated locations across the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean. This segment markets Sherwin-Williams^®-branded paints, stains, applicators, floor coverings and related products. Brands include Sherwin-Williams^®, A-100^®, Captivate®, Cashmere^®, Duration^®, Emerald^®, ProClassic^®, Pro Industrial™, SuperDeck^® and Woodscapes^®.

The Consumer Brands Group reported $3.1 billion in sales, down 7.7% year over year, and accounted for 14% of total sales. The decline was attributed to lower volumes, recent divestitures and unfavorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by favorable pricing and mix. The group includes 334 company-operated stores in Latin America and distributes products in over 120 countries. Brands include Cabot^®, Dutch Boy^®, Krylon^®, Minwax^®, HGTV HOME^® by Sherwin-Williams, Thompson’s^® WaterSeal^® and Valspar^®.

The Performance Coatings Group posted $6.8 billion in sales, a 0.7% decline from 2023, representing 29% of total sales. Sales grew in the coil, industrial wood and packaging divisions, but were offset by softness in automotive refinish and general industrial divisions, as well as unfavorable pricing/mix and currency effects. This group serves global industrial customers in over 35 countries, with brands including Acrolon^®, DeBeer Refinish^®, Excelo®, Fluropon^®, House of Kolor^®, Matrix Edge^®, M.L. Campbell^®, Polane^®, Powdura^®, Sayerlack_®, Ultra 9K^® and ValPure^®.

At PPG, team members work every day to develop and deliver the paints, coatings and specialty materials that customers have trusted for more than 140 years. Through dedication and creativity, they solve customers’ biggest challenges, collaborating closely to find the right path forward. With headquarters in Pittsburgh, the company operates and innovates in more than 70 countries and reported net sales from continuing operations of $15.8 billion in 2024. PPG serves customers in the construction, consumer products, industrial and transportation markets and aftermarkets.

In 2024, organic sales were flat compared to the prior year, impacted by lower volumes and modestly favorable price and mix. The company reported adjusted earnings per diluted share of $7.87, up 6% from 2023, driven by margin expansion, cost discipline and a favorable business mix. Operating margins improved for the ninth consecutive quarter. While industrial production remained soft across many global markets, PPG reported record results in aerospace, automotive refinish and architectural coatings in Latin America.

In December 2024, PPG completed the sale of its architectural coatings business in the United States and Canada to American Industrial Partners. The company has been renamed The Pittsburgh Paints Company.

PPG returned $1.4 billion to shareholders in 2024, including $620 million in dividends and $750 million in share repurchases, reducing outstanding shares by approximately 3%. The company has paid uninterrupted annual dividends for 125 years and raised its annual dividend for 53 consecutive years.

PPG comprises three reportable segments:

• Performance Coatings, including aerospace, automotive refinish, protective and marine and traffic solutions.
• Industrial Coatings, including OEM coatings, packaging coatings and specialty materials.
• Global Architectural Coatings, now focused on regions outside of the U.S. and Canada.

PPG invested $18.4 million globally in 2024 across education, community support and employee volunteerism. The company completed 58 Colorful Communities^® projects in 27 countries. Sustainably advantaged products accounted for 41% of 2024 sales, offering benefits such as lower emissions, improved durability and the use of renewable raw materials. In 2024, PPG invested $11.5 million in global STEM education initiatives.

Net sales in the Decorative Architectural Products segment, in which Behr is included, decreased 5% in 2024, primarily due to the divestiture of Kichler, a company specializing in decorative residential and light commercial lighting products, ceiling fans and LED lighting systems, lower net selling prices across the segment and lower sales volume of builders' hardware products, partially offset by higher sales volume of paint and coatings. The company reported that its professional paint sales exceeded $900 million in 2024, marking over 70% growth since 2020.
