Asia Pacific Paints & Coatings Market: An El Dorado for Market Participants and Institutional Investors

LONDON, July 9 /PRNewswire/ --

- Frost & Sullivan to Host Quarterly Analyst Briefing on the Asia Pacific
Paints & Coatings Market on 12 July 2007

Frost & Sullivan will host a conference call on Thursday 12 July 2007 to
provide industry participants with an overview of the recently published
study focusing on the Asia Pacific Paints & Coatings market.

Buoyant economic conditions and rapid growth in end-user industries, such
as automobiles, furniture, real estate and ship building, coupled with
increasing consolidation, are expected to improve the low per capita
consumption of paint in emerging economies. In the developed economies of
Asia, the stricter enforcement of regulatory standards will drive demand.

Highlights of the briefing will include: a segment overview, investment
themes, growth monitor, sector scorecard, private equity scorecard, asset
management scorecard, ratio analysis, mergers and acquisitions trend.

This briefing will benefit paint and coating manufacturers, raw material
suppliers, private equity participants, asset management participants and
venture capital participants. It will cover the key factors to be considered
before investing in the Asia Pacific Paints and Coatings market. Also,
keeping in mind the diversity of the Asia Pacific market, we will present the
individual countries' sector scorecard, in order to facilitate better
analysis. Frost & Sullivan's unique Growth Monitor tool, along with
scorecards for institutional investors, will help to identify the sectors and
companies ripe for investment.

"The rise in disposable income - one of the ripple effects of buoyant
economic conditions - and growth in the manufacturing and construction
sectors are leading to rising demand for coating products with superior
aesthetic properties and functionality," says Shrikanth Srinivasan, Financial
Research Analyst for Frost & Sullivan's Business & Financial Services group.
