Antifoul is also known as bottom paint or antifouling bottom paint. Antifouling paint is a specialized coating, normally containing a formulation of water-soluble bioactive ingredients and organotin compounds, which is then applied to the hull of the yacht which slows the growth of barnacles, algae and marine organisms that attach to the hull. They serve the dual purpose of protecting the structure from deterioration and maintain the look of the ships.
The world merchant fleet is comprised of bulk carriers, tankers, container ships, cargo ships, and passenger & cruise ships. Coatings have specific functional properties that provide superior corrosion protection to the surfaces on which they are applied. The coatings protect submerged materials such as vessels, ships, or yachts from sea water. Coatings also protect materials from corrosion and abrasion. The application of such coatings improves the durability and overall performance of the vessel. Furthermore, it helps the hull maintain its speed.
The over growth of bacteria and algae can slow down a vessel and impede its performance. The usage of antifouling is important for people who prefer their ride to be faster and smoother. This paint allows for better maneuverability. Since the roughness of the hull directly impacts the speed of the vessel, it is important that it stays smooth and free from slime. Thus, high demand for antifouling paints and coatings owing to its characteristics such as prevention of corrosion, reduction of algae growth, improvement of durability, and others. This is anticipated to drive the growth of the antifouling paints and coatings market during the forecast period. But the presence of substitutes to the antifouling paints and coating is projected to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The antifouling paints and coatings market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, the market is divided into copper-based, self-polishing copolymer, hybrid, and others. On the basis of application, the market is classified into shipping vessels, drilling rigs & production platforms, fishing boats yachts & other boats, inland waterways transport, and mooring lines. On the basis of region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
The major players operating in the industry include Akzo Nobel N.V., BASF S.E., Boero Yacht coatings, Chugoku Marine Paints Ltd., Hempel A/S, Jotun, Kop-Coat Marine Group, Nippon Paint Marine Coatings Co. Ltd., PPG Industries Inc., and The Sherwin-Williams. These players have adopted product launch, acquisition, and business expansion as their key strategies to increase their market shares.
[TYPEGRAPH]
By material type, the self-polishing copolymer has emerged as the biggest type segment on the global market for antifouling paints and coating market and is expected to be the leading segment during the forecast period. Copper based type is expected to be fastest growing segment as these types are environment-friendly and its use is on a rapid increase in hulls and underwater surfaces of shipping vessels.
[APPLICATIONGRAPH]
By the application, the shipping vessels segment held the largest share of the revenue. The use of antifouling paints and coating is on a rapid increase as it protects the vessels from the growth of the fouling organisms.
[REGIONGRAPH]
By region, Asia-Pacific is a significant contributor toward the growth of the antifouling paints and coatings market. Asia-Pacific held the largest share of more than 44.9% in the antifouling paints and coatings market in 2021. Shipbuilding activities are strong in various Asia-Pacific countries such as China, Japan, Taiwan, and other countries due to which Asia-Pacific is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period.
