The Global and China Antifouling Paints and Coatings Market was valued at USD 7,953.0 Million in 2019 depending on this study by 2027 CAGR is expected to reach 8.6% during the forecast period. The market is expected to grow owing to increase in increase in shipbuilding activates worldwide. Antifouling paints and coatings are used as a protective layer against corrosion and effects caused by marine life on ships boats and other equipment and platforms which are submerged in water. Antifouling Paints and Coatings also help to increase the life span of ships boats and other applications. Due to its smooth surface friction is reduced which helps water vessels in saving the fuel. All these properties make antifouling paints and coatings an integral part in building these applications.
Market Dynamics Strong ship building activities in APAC is fueling the antifouling paints and coatings market. Ships and ship-related equipment industries demand antifouling paints and coatings; therefore, growing shipbuilding industry is driving the antifouling paints and coatings market.
Rising Drilling Activities to propel market growth worldwide. The demand for natural gas and oil is rising year on year due to growing global population. To cope with the demand, drilling activities for oil and gas rigs have increased worldwide, this will drive antifouling paints and coatings market during forecast period. Many gas rigs around the world are choosing Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) & Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO), as a primary method for storage and offloading. These systems have opened new ways for oil drilling companies to further venture for oil in the deep sea even in extreme weather conditions. To withstand the extreme weather and the deep-sea protection of these vessels is a huge concern that are driving the antifouling paint and coating market during the forecast period.
Rising demand for fishery products and increase in government policies are driving China’s fishing industry. With more population leaning toward seafood as a healthy food option fishing industry is expected to fuel the antifouling paints and coatings market during the forecast period. Increasing disposable income and growing tourism and tourism-related activities are fueling the need for leisure boat and yacht, which in turn, is boosting the antifouling paints and coatings market.
Surge in the use of updated technology is creating opportunities in the antifouling paints and coatings market. Development and launch of superior anti corrosion and biocide properties are expected to create opportunities in the market. New initiatives towards environment friendly approach are expected to create lucrative opportunities for antifouling paints and coatings market growth during the forecast period. However, high investment and growing manufacturing costs for antifouling paints and coatings are restraining the market growth.
Segmental Outlook
