PPG's aggregate segment margins fell by 0.6% YoY, driven by reduced spending on architectural coatings in Mexico and lower automotive refinish sales volumes. This profitability pressure makes the company receptive to solutions that improve manufacturing productivity, reduce costs, or optimize sales mix.
Filing excerpt
Aggregate segment margins were 60 basis points lower than the prior year, driven by a decline in industry project-related spending on architectural coatings in Mexico in the first half of 2025 and a decline in automotive refinish coatings sales volumes in the second half of the year.
