Market Dynamics

PPG experienced double-digit organic growth in aerospace coatings, protective and marine coatings, and packaging coatings. Automotive OEM coatings also saw above-market growth due to share gains. However, automotive refinish coatings faced lower sales volumes in the third quarter, attributed to distributor order patterns favoring the first half of the year.

Regional Performance

Architectural coatings demand improved sequentially, with organic sales remaining flat. Growth in Mexico offset a modest decline in Europe, reflecting varied regional performance.
