The marine coatings market is projected to grow from USD 3.31 Billion in 2017 to USD 3.93 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 3.50% during the forecast period from 2017 to 2022. The increase in the overall international trade has resulted in the increased use of sea routes for carrying out trade activities across the globe. This has led to rise in the number of bulk carriers, container ships, and general cargo ships being manufactured across the globe, thereby widening the scope of the marine coatings market. In addition, the increasing demand for marine coatings from emerging economies such as China and South Korea is expected to fuel the growth of the marine coatings market across the globe.

The marine coatings market has been segmented based on resin, product type, application, and region. Among resins, the epoxy segment is expected to lead the marine coatings market during the forecast period, in terms of value. The growth of this segment of the market can be attributed to the outstanding chemical and water resistance offered by epoxy marine coatings. Moreover, these coatings are also extremely durable and have excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates.

Based on product type, the marine coatings market has been segmented into anti-corrosion coatings, antifouling coatings, and others. The antifouling coatings segment of the market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2017 and 2022, in terms of value. The growth of the antifouling coatings segment of the marine coatings market can be attributed to the capability of these coatings to reduce the growth of organisms on the underwater hull of the marine vessels. These antifouling coatings also help in reducing the fuel consumption by marine vessels, which subsequently results in reducing harmful emissions.

Based on application, the marine coatings market has been classified into cargo ships, passenger ships, boats, and others. The passenger ships segment of the marine coatings market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2017 and 2022, in terms of value. The growing coastal and maritime tourism across the globe is contributing significantly to the growth of the shipping industry in the North American and European regions.

The marine coatings market has been studied in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East & Africa. The Asia Pacific region is the largest market for marine coatings and is expected to continue leading the market till 2022. The growth of the Asia Pacific marine coatings market can be attributed to the recognition of countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia as ship manufacturing hubs.

The requirement of making significant investments in R&D activities for developing new marine coatings due to the ongoing developments and modifications in technologies employed for manufacturing marine coatings make the entry of new players in the market difficult. Fluctuating prices of raw materials adversely impact the overall cost of production incurred by the manufacturers of marine coatings. Increasing environmental regulations also pose a challenge for the growth of the marine coatings market across the globe.

New product launches and expansions have been the major developmental strategies adopted by the key players operating in the marine coatings market between 2013 and 2017. Companies such as PPG Industries (US), AkzoNobel (Netherlands), Hempel (Denmark), Sherwin-Williams (US), Jotun (Norway), have adopted these strategies to enhance their product offerings and customer base as well as gain a competitive edge over their peers in the market. These companies are also focusing on investing in R&D activities to introduce new and cost-effective materials to keep up with the changing consumer needs.
