There are a number of factors that have led to the current paint shortage, and it’s difficult to point out just one catalyst to the problem. However, nearly all paint manufacturers agree that supply chain snags are largely to blame. Specifically, it’s become more difficult to source the materials required to create many industrial paint components and enamels.

Some of the supply chain issues that paint manufacturers are struggling against stem from the ongoing conflict between Russia and the Ukraine. Combined, these countries were responsible for mining roughly 500,000 metric tons of titanium dioxide in 2021 alone. Between the sanctions imposed on Russian imports and the strain of the conflict itself, obtaining these materials from the region has become more difficult for paint manufacturers.
