We study kinetics of phase segregation in multicomponent mixtures via Monte
Carlo simulations of the q-state Potts model, in two spatial dimensions, for 2 ≤ q ≤ 20. The
associated growth of domains in finite boxes, irrespective of q and temperature, can be described
by a single universal finite-size scaling function, with only the introduction of a nonuniversal
metric factor in the scaling variable. Our results show that although the scaling function is
independent of the type of transition, the q-dependence of the metric factor hints to a crossover
at q = 5 where the type of transition in the model changes from second to first order.
