AVIA also dominates the wood and metal product segment with a 40% market share. While they rank third in the wall paint segment with a 10-12% market share, this presents a significant growth opportunity.

With a free float market capitalization of IDR 6.2 tn as of June 6, 2024, AVIA surpasses ULTJ's IDR 4.1 tn. AVIA’s stock liquidity is also impressive, with an average daily trading volume of IDR 11 bn for 1 month and IDR 10 bn for 3 months, compared to ULTJ’s IDR 10 bn and IDR 6 bn.

Looking ahead, the industry is projected to grow faster, with national sales volume expected to increase by about 7.5% annually.

Despite this growth, Indonesia’s paint consumption per capita remains low at 6 liters, compared to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. This represents a significant growth opportunity for AVIA.
