a single powerful brand is more brilliant

kangningde said that AkzoNobel decorative paint is using its famous "Dulux" brand in the industry to forge a global brand, and choose China, Canada India and Southeast Asia are the first markets to promote this unified brand image. "In the past, AkzoNobel had many decorative paint brands, but their market awareness was quite uneven. In view of this, we believe that building a strong global brand will be more conducive to promoting the further growth of the business."

he pointed out that the unified brand image is particularly important in China's decorative paint Market: "one of the characteristics of China and North Asia market is extreme dispersion. The top five manufacturers account for a total of 40% of the market share, and the remaining market is divided by more than 8000 local or regional manufacturers."

These factors complement each other and will comprehensively enhance the competitive advantage of the business department

Lin Liangqi said, "the potential of China's emerging middle class cannot be ignored. Consumers in this class have considerable consumption desire and consumption ability. In order to pursue a better and high-quality life, they are willing to pay more to enjoy high-quality products. Dulux has always been well-known in the high-end product market, and we are constantly expanding our product lineup and entering the mid-range market with the largest market capitalization."

Lin Liangqi said, "Dulux stores will be the key to winning the favor of Chinese consumers. In the decorative paint market, 'do it yourself' (DIY) is not really popular in China. Most local consumers just buy products by themselves and then let professional craftsmen handle the painting work. Our Dulux stores provide 'do it for you' (dify) With one-stop service, consumers can choose the products they like, or refer to the opinions of our color experts. At the same time, we recommend reliable and well-trained professional painters to serve customers, so that they can enjoy the perfect painting effect at ease. "

AkzoNobel is willing to work with consumers to jointly change the color style of their homes, neighborhood environments and communities."

Lin Liangqi said that the activity of 'let' scolor shine together 'has also been carried out in China. So far, about 4000 liters of AkzoNobel paint have been used in community projects in eight cities
