Pune, India -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/17/2018 -- Market Overview

Fouling is an accumulation of undesirable, dirty material on the solid surfaces of a tool, equipment, or machinery. The fouling results in reduced lifespan, impede the process, interferes with the smooth functioning, and leads to the faster deterioration of the machinery or equipment. It can either be living organisms or bio-fouling, or a non-living substance (inorganic and/or organic). The application of antifouling coatings on the surface of a substrate help in the prevention of fouling and also reduces the impediments by offering a protective shield to the surface. As per the MRFR analysis, the global protective coating market is projected to grow at the healthy growth rate and is estimated to be pegged at nearly USD 23 billion by 2023. This is anticipated to boost the growth of the market in the coming years. The primary factors driving the growth of the Global Antifouling Coatings Market are the expanding application scope, rapid growth in R&D undertaken by the leading market players, growing shipbuilding industry on the backdrop of increasing global trade, and surging government spending on marine sector. However, the major bottleneck in the growth trajectory of the Global Antifouling Coatings Market is, the volatile raw material prices and stringent government regulations against the harm caused to marine and aquatic ecosystems.
