Marine coatings are coatings used across the marine industry for providing protection and corrosion resistant property to the ship vessels. They are basically classified into anti-fouling, anti-corrosion, foul release coatings, and self-cleaning coatings. Out of which, anti-fouling is popular and has the highest demand across the marine industry due to its excellent physical and chemical properties.
The global marine coatings market is estimated to be valued at US$ 12,662.7 million in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.5% over the forecast period (2021-2028).
