Summary

In a highly dynamic fragmented paints and competitive coatings market the ability to anticipate new product introductions and marketing strategies is particularly important... and spells the difference between success and failure. The TOP 10, a unique series of market intelligence studies first introduced by VENTURE PLANNING GROUP in 1987, is designed to provide the paints and coatings industry executives with strategically significant competitor information, analysis and insight, critical to the development and implementation of effective marketing and R&D programs. The study's major objectives include: to establish a comprehensive, factual, annually-updated and cost-effective; information base on performance, capabilities, goals and strategies of the world's leading paints and coatings companies; to help current suppliers realistically assess their financial, marketing and technological capabilities vis--vis leading competitors; to assist potential market entrants in evaluating prospective acquisitions and joint venture candidates; and to complement organizations' internal competitor information gathering efforts by providing strategic analysis, data interpretation and insight. The study provides a strategic overview of the worldwide paints and coatings market, including the 2006-2011 sales forecast for major market segments and key geographic regions; assessment of the US and international trends with potentially significant impact on the paints and coatings industry during the next five years, including industry consolidation, market globalization, and environmental regulations; analysis of major market segments; as well as review of key geographic regions, including Europe, North America, Asia/Japan, Latin America and others. For each of the TOP 10 companies, the report provides Executive Summary; Business Organization; Senior Management; Facilities and Employees; Technological Know-How; Product Portfolio; Marketing Tactics; Financial Analysis; R&D Expenditures and Major Programs; Collaborative Arrangements; and Strategic Direction.
