Antifouling Coatings Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The growth in ship building industry is notably driving the antifouling coatings market growth, although factors such as harmful effects of chemicals on the environment may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the antifouling coatings industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Antifouling Coatings Market Driver

One of the key factors driving the antifouling coatings market growth is the growth in ship building industry. The ship building industry is a major end-user for the global antifouling coatings market. The growth rate of this industry was very slow until 2010. Since then, it has shown accelerated growth mainly due to growth in seaborne trade, increasing global Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows and expanding multinational company's businesses. Manufacturing new ships and an increase in repair and maintenance of old ships are major growth drivers for the global antifouling coatings market. The demand for offshore vessels, due to rising oil prices, is also responsible for the growth of the ship building industry. This is directly impacting the growth rate of the global antifouling coatings market.

Key Antifouling Coatings Market Trend

Increase in demand for eco-friendly ships is the major trend influencing the antifouling coatings market growth. The environmental impact of shipping includes greenhouse gas emissions as well as oil pollution. Therefore, governments and international organizations are introducing a number of regulations to reduce the negative effects of vessels on the environment. For instance, the Ballast Water Treatment Convention (BWTC) was amended in September 2017. The BWTC aims at preventing the spread of harmful aquatic organisms caused by a ship's discharge of ballast water and sediments. Vessels operated beyond domestic waters are required to have the Ballast Water Management System installed by September 8, 2024. Likewise, during the 72nd session on April 13, 2018, the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) adopted an initial International Maritime Organization strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships. The strategy was adopted to reduce CO2 emissions per transport work, as an average across international shipping, by at least 40% by 2030. Thus, due to environmental regulations, it is estimated that there will be an increase in the demand for eco-friendly ships that comply with the latest emission norms.

Key Antifouling Coatings Market Challenge

Harmful effects of chemicals on the environment is one of the key challenges hindering the antifouling coatings market growth. Antifouling coatings are made up of chemicals that can cause harm to the environment. Copper is used as one of the main components in antifouling coatings. Its high concentration is harmful to marine life. Many ports are declining underwater hull cleaning of ships after detecting a high level of copper in their water bodies. Another chemical banned by strict regulations is tributyltin (TBT), which is a class of organotin compounds. TBT is a biocide that was used for antifouling and preventing the growth of organisms on the hull. However, its adverse effects on the marine environment, such as deformities in shellfish and mollusks, resulted in its ban. Though TBT was banned, a limited amount of organotin is being used as a catalyst. Recent research states that some organotin have similar effects to TBT, such as resulting in sex change in marine species. This is a serious problem that will act as a challenge for the global antifouling coatings market.
