Global Marine Antifouling System Market Size, Share, and Trends Analysis Report, By Type (Ultrasound Antifouling System and Electrolytic Antifouling system), By Application (Sailing, Yacht, and Others), Forecast (2022-2028)

The global marine antifouling system market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period (2022-2028). Antifouling is the process of protecting a ship’s hull with specifically designed materials, such as special paints, that prevent these organisms from piling up in the hull. The marine antifouling system prevents the buildup of microorganisms, plants, algae, and other organisms on ship hulls. With the rising demand for fuel efficiency vessels and the increase in offshore drilling activities require the use of antifouling systems on ships. The increasing demand for new and safe antifouling systems and new technology such as electric based, bio-based are some of the factors that are driving the growth of the global marine antifouling system market growth. It will create a positive impact on the market. However, the availability of alternatives such as antifouling paints and coating and stringent rules and regulations by the government across the globe are acting as a restraining factor for the market growth.
The market is segmented based on the type and application. Based on the type, the market is sub-segmented into ultrasound antifouling systems and electrolytic antifouling systems. Ultrasound antifouling systems use ultrasonic waves to prevent the attachment of organisms. This system works by producing bursts of ultrasonic energy in multiple frequencies, the energy creates a pattern of alternating positive and negative pressure. The sound generated by the ultrasound is between 20 kHz and 100 kHz, which has an effect on marine life, however, it is not audible to humans or animals. Electrolytic anti-fouling systems are designed to prevent hard fouling which includes dense shelled animal organisms such as barnacles, tubeworms, mussels, and corals, among others. This process also reduces the number of chemicals released from boat paint and increases biodegradation, which can reduce overall pollution in coastal waters.
Some major players in the market include Cathelco, Cyeco, and Barnacle Zapper LLC, among others. The market players are contributing significantly to the growth of the market by the adoption of various strategies including mergers & acquisitions, geographical expansion, partnerships, new product launches, and collaborations, to stay competitive in the market.
