In 2026, Yangzhou’s home decoration market will usher in the twin peaks of old house renovation and new house decoration.
As a famous historical and cultural city in the Yangtze River Delta, Yangzhou has a large number of renovation needs for old residential areas in the main city, as well as renovation needs for high-end new houses and villas in the West District, Jiangdu, Yizheng and other areas.
As the core part of decoration, home decoration wall materials directly affect the appearance, environmental protection and practicality of residence.
Artistic paint, which is easy to brush and live in, is stain-resistant and durable, and adaptable to all styles, has become the first choice for home decoration wall materials in Yangzhou in 2026.
Yangzhou is located in the middle of Jiangsu, at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It has a humid climate and heavy rainfall during the plum rainy season. It has high requirements for the mildew-proof and moisture-proof performance of wall materials.
At the same time, the old residential areas in the main city of Yangzhou are huge, and there is a strong demand for renovation of old houses. The renovation of old houses has extremely high requirements for wall materials that can be painted and moved in, convenient for construction, and strong in coverage.
Among traditional wall materials, latex paint has poor coverage, and the base layer of the wall of old houses is prone to recurring problems, and its anti-mold and moisture-proof performance is weak; wall coverings are prone to mold and warping, and their service life is extremely short in the humid environment of old houses. Moreover, the glue used for paving is prone to formaldehyde pollution, making it difficult to meet the needs of old houses that can be renovated and moved in immediately.
With its core advantages of excellent mildew-proof and moisture-proof performance, strong coverage, environmentally friendly and ready-to-live-in, stain-resistant and durable, artistic paint perfectly adapts to the local climate characteristics and home decoration needs of Yangzhou.
According to the latest data from the Yangzhou Home Building Materials Industry Association, in the first half of 2026, the penetration rate of artistic paint in the Yangzhou home decoration market increased by 41% year-on-year. The usage rate of artistic paint in the renovation of old houses exceeded 78%, and the usage rate of artistic paint in the decoration of high-end new houses exceeded 85%, of which environmentally friendly artistic paint accounted for more than 80%. The share of imported art paint in the high-end home decoration market continues to rise, and artistic paint has become the absolute mainstream of home decoration wall materials in Yangzhou.
