Global Hull Coatings Market Outlook to 2026

Hull Coatings are coatings beneficial for marine ships. The coatings exhibit anti-corrosive and anti-fouling properties, which increases the working life-cycle of ships. Applying hull coatings have multifold benefits such as reduced time in dry-lock, low maintenance cost (in the future), reduced greenhouse gas emissions due to lower fuel consumption.

According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global Hull Coatings market is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecast period. The market is likely to grow at a CAGR of around 5%. The increase in oil and gas activities across the globe is driving the hull coatings market since it will be used in the ships to transport these materials. Also, the government's stringent norms may serve as an opportunity for the market since the concerned sectors have to follow environmentally safe and friendly practices. On the other hand, these environmental norms may also hinder the growth of the market due to the presence of VOCs. Covid-19 has disrupted the entire global supply chain, which has impeded the hull coatings market's growth rate. But this is expected to be a temporary effect, and soon the trade is anticipated to get back to normal. Based on the product type, the Self-Polishing coatings (SPCs) segment will dominate the market since it is used extensively in marine ship coating.

Globally, the Asia-Pacific region is dominating the hull coatings market, followed by North America and Europe. The APAC region has a large customer base (China and India) and a flourishing manufacturing sector. Asia-Pacific dominates the ship manufacturing sector ranging from boats, vessels, cargo ships, container ships, etc, which drives the hull coatings market.
