Market Dynamics
Introduction
Marine coatings are the coatings that are applied on the ship’s surface, cruises, vessels, yachts, and other offshore structures i.e., oil rigs and bridges to protect them against corrosion, fouling, and slimes, as they are exposed to the seawater and corrosive conditions.These coatings increase the durability and life of the vessels of marine and offshore structures.
Market Drivers
The major factor influencing the demand for marine coatings is mainly:
- Its increasing demand from the shipbuilding & repair industry.
- Marine coatings possess various properties, such as protecting the surfaces and parts of ships from corrosion and abrasion.
- Further, they improve the visual appearance and aesthetic appeal of surfaces, which in turn, is driving the growth of the market.

By Resin Type
"Epoxy resin held the largest share of the market in 2022"
The market is segmented into epoxy, alkyd, polyurethane, and others. The epoxy resin held the largest share of the market in 2022 and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period. It possesses various properties, such as water and chemical resistance, high durability, and owns excellent adhesive properties on a variety of substrates.
By Product Type
"Antifouling coatings segment is expected to be dominant during the forecast period"
The market is segmented into anti-corrosion marine coatings, antifouling coatings, primer coatings, varnish coatings, chemical-resistant coatings, anti-slip coatings, and others.The antifouling coatings segment is expected to be dominant during the forecast period. These coatings are applied to a ship’s hull to prevent marine growth and improve vessel performance and durability. They protect the components of ships and surfaces from marine biofouling. This coating develops smooth and non-sticky surfaces on the parts of the ship, due to which it becomes extremely hard for fouling organisms to get attached to these parts.
By Application Type
"Passenger ships segment is expected to remain the fastest-growing application during the forecast period"
The market is segmented into cargo ships, passenger ships, boats, and others.The passenger ships segment is expected to remain the fastest-growing application during the foreseen duration. The growth in coastal and maritime tourism across the globe is contributing to the growth of the shipping industry in the market.
Regional Analysis
"Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the largest marine coatings market during the forecast period"
Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the largest marine coatings market during the forecast period, with China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, and India, being the major countries with promising growth opportunities.The growth of the market is driven by the growth of various end-use industries, such as industrial, transportation, electronics, and medical, which is generating substantial demand for marine coatings, an increase in new shipbuilding projects and programs, and the presence of a large number of marine coatings manufacturers in the Asia-Pacific region. North America and Europe are also expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities during the forecast period.
