Market Overview     

The Global Antifouling Coating Market accounted for USD 2.12 Billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 3.2 Billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of around 5% between 2021 and 2028.    

Antifouling coatings are often defined as specific paint applied on the outer part of the ship including the bottom, side part, and deck. Protecting marine structures is completely essential and antifouling coatings safeguard ships and ocean-going vessels from growing organisms and corrosion on the surface submerged within the water. The antifouling coatings also protect other oceanic industrial structures like water treatment and purification plants or sea energy plants. a further environmental advantage of antifouling coatings is that it preserves numerous species of ecosystems in aquatic habitation by reducing the presence of omnipresent species.

High utilization of oil and gas due to increasing urbanization and population are the factors for the growth of the worldwide antifouling coatings market. Numerous companies investing in R&D leading to the technological advancements globally is one among the trends boosting the antifouling coatings market. The antifouling coating reduces the drag and friction, which helps to spice up the performance of the vessel; hence, this reduces the general maintenance cost of the transportation. this is often a key factor augmenting the antifouling coatings market rapidly.

Development of the newest manufacturing facilities thanks to the expansion of application sectors is anticipated to spice up the demand within the near future. High demand for ship-based logistics services, demand for merchant fleets and navy ships, and rising popularity for cruising ships around the world are boosting the expansion rate of the antifouling coatings market globally. However, factors like severe environmental regulations and consumer that specialize in eco-friendly products may hinder the antifouling coatings market globally.
