Sherwin-Williams is the world’s most valuable paints and coatings brand, with a brand value of USD8.5 billion, according to the Chemicals 50 2025 report from Brand Finance, the world's leading brand valuation consultancy.
After stagnating in 2024, Sherwin-Williams’ brand value increased by 12%. Brand Finance attributes this growth to strategic pricing initiatives and an expanded distribution network. In January 2025, Sherwin-Williams implemented a 5% price increase across its product lines to further boost revenue and offset rising costs.
PPG remains the second most valuable brand in the sector despite a 7% decline in brand value to USD3.8 billion while Nippon Paint ranks third, with an 18% increase in brand value to USD2.9 billion, making it the sector’s fastest growing brand for 2025. This rise is driven by strategic acquisitions which have fuelled Nippon Paint’s revenue growth, particularly its 2024 acquisition of AOC, a global composite resins manufacturer. Brand Finance data also reveals that the brand’s expansion into adjacent markets has also notably boosted its enterprise value.
Meanwhile, India’s Asian Paints remains the world’s strongest paints and coatings brand, with a Brand Strength Index (BSI) score of 91.9/100 and a corresponding AAA+ rating – the highest rating awarded by Brand Finance.
Its strength stems from positive consumer perceptions of its highly reliable manufacturing and distribution in the market. Brand Finance’s research data also shows that the brand achieved high levels of familiarity and reputation in its home market, underscoring strong domestic credibility.
In 2025, the brand became the world’s fourth most valuable paints and coatings brand, moving ahead of Axalta Coating Systems, which dropped to fifth. Its brand value rose by 9% to USD1.6 billion.
Savio D’Souza, Valuation Director at Brand Finance, commented:
"Sherwin-Williams continues to lead the sector in brand value, driven by bold pricing strategies and expanded distribution. Equally noteworthy is the momentum among other leading brands. Nippon Paint's rapid growth reflects the power of smart acquisitions and market diversification, while Asian Paints has cemented its position as the world’s strongest brand through exceptional consumer trust and domestic credibility. These shifts highlight how brand value in the industry is being shaped by both local leadership and global ambition.”
