Coatings Global Architectural Net Sales measures revenue generated by PPG's Global Architectural Coatings segment.

PPG reported $3.838 billion of Global Architectural Coatings net sales in 2025, down 2.1% from 2024.

Why it matters

Segment net sales show the scale of architectural coatings before considering segment profitability. Comparing sales with the segment's price and volume bridges helps separate revenue growth from changes in demand and realized pricing.

Investor caution

This is an issuer-defined reportable segment, not a standardized industry category. Divestitures and foreign currency translation also affected 2025 sales, so price and volume contributions do not explain the entire year-over-year change.

Part of the Coatings Operating Economics

Connect reportable-segment revenue, management-attributed price and volume bridges, segment income, and segment EBITDA across architectural, performance, and industrial coatings.

How the model fits together
  • Architectural coatings price, volume, and profitability: Global Architectural Coatings net sales combine reported revenue with management-attributed selling-price and sales-volume effects, while segment income and segment EBITDA show how those sales translated into profitability. Divestitures and foreign currency also affected reported sales, so the price and volume bridge is not a complete reconciliation.
  • Industrial coatings price, volume, and profitability: Industrial Coatings pairs positive sales-volume contribution with negative selling-price contribution and lower reported net sales, then connects those drivers to segment income and segment EBITDA. The bridge remains issuer-defined and does not imply a standardized physical-volume or pure-price measure.
  • Performance coatings price, volume, and profitability: Performance Coatings combines positive selling-price and sales-volume contributions with segment net sales, segment income, and segment EBITDA. The mix of aerospace, protective and marine, automotive refinish, and traffic businesses means these growth drivers should not be treated as a single standardized end-market measure.
