Good Business Opportunities Predicted for the Global Antifouling paints & coatings Market in the Coming Years

The growth of organisms on the surface of ships and boats affect the performance and durability of these vessels. Antifouling paints & coatings contain a biocide or toxin in their structure, which prevents the growth of organisms on the surface of ships and boats, and help maintain a clean and smooth hull. This further helps in maintaining the operational efficiency of the vessels. Application of antifouling paints & coatings reduces the maintenance cost and greenhouse gas emissions due to low fuel consumption.

The global antifouling paints & coatings market was valued at USD 5.61 billion in 2015 and is projected to reach USD 9.22 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2016 to 2021. This growth can be attributed to the increasing demand of antifouling paints & coatings in the Asia-Pacific region. Increasing usage in shipping vessels, drilling rigs & production platforms, fishing boats, yachts & other boats, mooring lines, and inland waterways transport has further fueled the growth of the market in Asia-Pacific.
