Application Insights
In 2014, Antifouling coatings were primarily used in shipping vessels, contributing to more than 80% of overall volume. These paints extend the dry-docking interval and provide direct fuel saving by protecting hulls from fouling organisms and corrosion. Production platforms & drilling rigs are projected witness market growth, at an estimated CAGR of 8.0% by revenue, over the forecast period. Companies functioning in oil & gas sector are continuously investing in the market for The FPSO vessels and thereby this is expected to serve market growth.
Regional Outlook
