Leisure Boat Marine Coating Market Research, 2031
The global leisure boat marine coating market was valued at $2 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $4 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2022 to 2031. Marine coating is a protective finish applied to the exteriors of ships, yachts, cruise ships, and other offshore constructions (oil rigs, bridges) exposed to saltwater and other corrosive elements. The marine coatings are applied to the surfaces indicated above the boats to prevent corrosion, fouling, and slime, extending the durability and life of offshore structures and marine vessels. Additionally, significant developments in shipping industry, the increasing popularity of watersports, and other recreational activities have positively contributed to the leisure boat marine coating market size in recent years.
One important reason driving the growth of the leisure boat marine coating market is the rise in the number of individuals engaging in recreational activities such as boating and water sports. Additionally, a rise in per capita income is leading to an increase in spending on recreational activities such as boating, and water sports, for leisure activities. For protection against corrosion and the fouling effects of seawater, these boats need a special coating. Customers are increasingly requesting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) free and environmentally friendly marine coatings. Thus, manufacturers of marine coatings are using innovative techniques to meet consumer demands and adhere to legal requirements. In the upcoming years, these features will create development opportunities for the leisure boat marine coating industry.
One of the major reasons limiting the market's expansion is the fluctuation in the price of the raw materials required to make marine coatings. The main raw materials used to make coatings are oil derivatives, titanium dioxide, and copper, and these goods are quite sensitive to price changes. One of the variables that are anticipated to have a somewhat adverse impact on market growth is the sluggish expansion of shipbuilding operations across emerging nations.
Expanding shipbuilding activities are predicted to create new market opportunities throughout the projection period. There is a growing need for repair and maintenance activities to keep the ships in operational form due to the adverse weather conditions that ships and leisure boats encounter. Furthermore, the rise in the marine coatings market is being aided by the low cost of labor in China, India, and Vietnam throughout the forecast period. In the foreseeable future, it is anticipated that improving economic conditions and favorable trade policies would present possible business prospects. Additionally, it is anticipated that a surge in crude oil output brought on by an expansion in the oil and gas sector would help in boosting the marine coatings market opportunities. The rise in the need for fuel efficiency and the industrialization of emerging regions are anticipated to support the market expansion of marine coatings.

The key players profiled in this report include PPG Industries, Inc., AkzoNobel, The Sherwin-Williams Company, Nippon Paint Holdings Co., Ltd., Kansai Paint Co.,Ltd., Hempel A/S, KCC Corporation, BASF Coatings GmbH, Axalta Coating Systems, Ltd., and Chugoku Marine Paints, Ltd.
The global leisure boat marine coating market is segmented on the basis of boat type, coatings, and region. By boat type, the market is sub-segmented into sailboats, personal watercrafts (PWC), and inflatables. By coatings, the market is sub-segmented into anti-fouling coatings, anti-corrosion coatings, foul release coatings, and others. By region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
The leisure boat marine coating market is segmented into Boat Type and Coatings.
By boat type, the sailboats sub-segment dominated the market in 2021, whereas the personal watercrafts (PWC) sub-segment is projected to be the fastest-growing sub-segment during the forecast period. This is because sailboats have distinct characteristics based on the hull type, mast configuration, keel type, and sails. For instance, based on hull type, a sailboat is classified into catamaran or trimaran and monohull. Similarly, based on sails and mast configuration, these boats can be classified into ketch, sloop, fractional rig sloop, yawl, cutter, cat, schooner, and others. Personal watercrafts (PWC) accounted for a significant portion of new boat sales in 2021 and more than one million PWC boats are in operation today. PWC is widely used for PWC fishing or jet ski fishing. Also, PWC is easier to operate, reducing fuel consumption as they have less maintenance cost.
By coatings, the anti-fouling coatings sub-segment dominated the market in 2021, whereas the foul release coatings sub-segment is projected to be the fastest growing during the forecast period. This is because anti-fouling coatings may be applied to increase the energy effectiveness and speed of boats by inhibiting the growth of organisms on the boat's bottom. One of the factors accelerating the growth of the foul release coatings sub-segment is its excellent resistance to mechanical damage to boats and to microbe clinging by producing a slippery surface.
By region, the Asia-Pacific region dominated the global leisure boat marine coating market in 2021, and it is estimated to show the fastest growth during the forecast period. The growing popularity of recreational and water sports especially among the younger population is driving the leisure boat marine coating market share in the Asia-Pacific region. Some of the popular water sports in this region include surfing, jet ski, rafting, snorkeling, parasailing, kayaking, and others. Additionally, the rise in per capita incomes of people in China, Japan, and Australia is anticipated to fuel market growth over the course of the projection period. China, Japan, and South Korea have one of the largest shipping industries and represents a large number of leisure boat marine coating market players. For instance, Asian Paints Ltd., FUJIKURA KASEI CO., LTD., Guangdong Carpoly Chemical Co.,Ltd., Jiangsu Lanling Chemical Group Co.,Ltd., Hanjin Chemical, and others are some of the leading players in the Asia-Pacific region.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Leisure Boat Marine Coating Industry
- The leisure boat marine coating industry had a negative impact due to the worldwide travel limitations enforced by COVID-19.
- Numerous manufacturing facilities shuttered in the first two quarters of 2020, causing a labor crisis for firms. This affected the whole supply chain.
- Furthermore, COVID-19 had an effect on imports and exports, which resulted in a lack of the tools and component parts needed for the manufacturing of leisure boats. As a result, prospective customers had to wait a long period as manufacturers focused on completing backlog orders.
- Along with the boat sales, the revenue from services was also negatively impacted since tiny third-party merchants had to abandon their operations owing to the financial difficulties brought on by the lockout limitations.
- However, the slow process of reopening the economy and the ongoing limitations on people's freedom of movement have given rise to a desire among the populace to engage in leisure activities. As a result, a gradual market recovery is projected during the forecast period.
