Marine Coatings Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type (Anti-corrosion Coatings, Anti-Fouling Coatings, Other), By Application (Cargo Ships, Passenger Ships, Boats, Submarines, Service Ships, Offshore Vessels, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Marine coatings are protective type of coatings mostly used in marine applications to protect ships, tankers, vessels, submarines, and other materials subjected to marine and saline environments. They have functional properties like superior durability, protection of surfaces, resistance to corrosion and abrasion. They also improve the aesthetic properties and visual appeal of the substrates.

Growing sea trade activities have been significantly boosting the shipbuilding and repair industries. Increasing demand for corrosion and abrasion-resistant marine coatings to protect the ships from getting damaged is expected to drive the market. Additionally, the need for improving the fuel efficiency of marine vessels and expansion of the oil & gas exploration activities in seabed is expected to boost the market growth.

However, there are certain stringent government norms related to the manufacturing of coatings that involves emission of VOCs. VOCs are harmful emissions that effect the human health and environment negatively. This is expected to hinder the market growth.
