An expanding food processing sector aids the use of machinery such as packaging or wrapping, filling, sealing, and capping machines. Paints used for coating these machines are effective in preventing mould, mildew, and bacterial build-up to prevent food contamination. As of April 2023, Ecuador’s food processing sector accounted for around 45% of Ecuador’s manufacturing GDP.
Some of the major factors driving the Ecuador paints market growth are the growth of the construction sector, expanding automotive sales, and the rising demand for eco-friendly paints. Ecuador is increasingly adopting sustainable construction practices. As a result, water-borne paints with low volatile organic compounds (VOC) compounds and paints with low lead content are gaining popularity in the market.

Growing infrastructural development; growing demand for eco-friendly paints; rising use of paints in the automotive sector; and the robust growth of the manufacturing sector are propelling the Ecuador paints market expansion.
In December 2022, Ecuador's Transport and Public Works Ministry started preparing tenders for 12 projects, including four high-priority projects, including the Quinto Puente, the Guayaquil-Quito highway, the Guayaquil-Cuenca highway, and the Manta-Quevedo highway.
An expanding population in Ecuador aids the demand for affordable and sustainable housing. Annually, the population of Guayaquil, the largest city in Ecuador’s population expands by 1%. Thus, the demand for eco-friendly affordable housing aids the market for sustainably produced low-VOC paints.
In 2023, motorcycle sales in Ecuador increased by 21.9% compared to 2022. Paint protects automobiles from corrosion and enhances their aesthetic appeal. New vehicle registrations in the country expanded by 14.9% in 2022 y-o-y. The growing demand for mobility thus provides an opportunity for the Ecuador paints market growth.
Paints are crucial in protecting machinery against corrosion, enhancing its lifespan, and ensuring productivity. In 2022, the Ecuadorian manufacturing sector contributed approximately 16.25% to the country’s GDP.
Paints act as a protective barrier that keeps moisture out of the structure. Rising investment in the construction sector aids the demand for paints. An expanding infrastructural development is positively influencing the demand for paints in Ecuador. For instance, in June 2023, the World Bank granted Ecuador a USD 150 million road infrastructure loan to respond to infrastructure and transportation emergencies and strengthen its infrastructural sector’s resilience and road safety.
Furthermore, By May 2025, the government aims to increase private participation in the state road network from 17% to 40%. In April 2024, Ecuador announced the addition of seven projects worth USD 2.3 billion to its public-private partnerships (PPP) registry.
