I believe that for quality reasons the big paint producers in Europe and USA are more likely to consume HPPs than the small and middle size paint producers in developing countries.
However, because of the merger and acquisition policy of the major paint producers, these companies are extending their presence into Asia, India and South America. And in order to have a worldwide quality standard, they transfer their production formulations and raw material requirements to these countries, with the effect that the use of HPPs will increase there.
