Coatings Global Architectural Sales Volume Contribution captures the portion of PPG Global Architectural Coatings sales change that management attributes to sales volume.

PPG said lower sales volumes reduced 2025 Global Architectural Coatings net sales by approximately 2%.

Why it matters

The volume contribution helps distinguish weaker unit demand from price, currency, and portfolio effects. It is particularly useful when reported sales and segment earnings move differently.

Investor caution

The percentage is a management attribution within PPG's sales bridge, not a standardized unit-volume KPI. It can reflect changes in product, geography, and customer mix as well as underlying demand.

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.
