ANTIFOULING PAINTS AND COATING MARKET OVERVIEW

The global antifouling paints & coating market size was USD 1.08 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 1.32 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 2.2% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

Antifouling coatings are a type of special coating that are typically used on boats or boat bodies to prevent the growth of organic entities (marine biofouling) on the structure. The transportation industry suffers from biofouling, both financially and environmentally. The build-up of biofouling organic substances on the frame surface results in the collapse of the boat's hydrodynamic display, resulting in energy loss, increased fuel consumption, and thus, additional costs. In this analysis, a copper-based, self-cleaning copolymer (SPC) and a mixed antifouling coatings framework have both been taken into account.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Lockdown Restrictions To Impede Market Growth

Due to the occurrence of lockdowns in numerous nations throughout the world, the COVID-19 epidemic has had a negative effect on the growth of the worldwide antifouling paints and coatings market. Lockdowns forced the closure of several production plants, including those that produced antifouling paints and coatings, which had a disastrous effect on the market for those products.

LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Demand from Industrial Sector to Improve Market Growth

Manufacturers and distributors of antifouling are now required to sell their products through web portals due to the rise of e-commerce platforms. As a result, businesses like Alibaba and Made-In-China are anticipated to play a significant role in helping consumers acquire antifouling coating products. Antifouling coatings are typically purchased by customers in the maritime and offshore oil and gas sectors through annual supply agreements in order to save money. Additionally, buyers should be forced to apply antifouling coatings for corrosion protection due to the increasing importance of material management in the industrial sector, which will lower their inventory costs.
