According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Silicone-based Fouling Release Coatings market size was valued at US$ 215 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 274 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 3.5% during review period.
Siloxane antifouling coatings are a class of functional coatings that use siloxane resins as the core film-forming material and inhibit the adhesion of organisms and contaminants through their low surface energy and elastic properties. They do not rely on toxic biocides and are mainly used in ships, marine engineering, and underwater facilities to achieve long-term environmentally friendly antifouling protection.
Upstream industries mainly include chemical raw materials such as organosilicon monomers, siloxane resins, catalysts, functional additives, and solvents; downstream applications are mainly in shipbuilding and marine engineering equipment, building exteriors, rail transportation, industrial equipment, marine aquaculture facilities, and high-end protective engineering.
In 2025, the global market price for siloxane antifouling coatings was US$69.5/kg, with sales of approximately 3,002 tons, a global annual production capacity of approximately 3,100 tons, and an industry profit margin of 25%.
Global Market Future Development Trends
Against the backdrop of continued global investment in marine economy and large-scale infrastructure, siloxane antifouling coatings are seeing expanded applications in ships, offshore platforms, and underwater facilities due to their excellent low surface energy and biofouling inhibition capabilities. Compared to traditional coatings containing biocides, siloxane systems better meet the needs of long-term operation and maintenance cost control, resulting in steady market demand growth.
As countries increasingly restrict copper- and organotin-containing antifouling coatings, environmentally friendly antifouling technologies have become the main focus of industry development. Siloxane antifouling coatings, based on physical antifouling mechanisms, do not rely on toxic release and are more likely to meet the requirements of the International Maritime Organization and regional environmental regulations. In the future, environmental compliance will continue to drive the transformation of traditional antifouling systems towards siloxane and its composite technologies.
The future development focus of siloxane antifouling coatings will concentrate on improving durability and functional integration, such as combining them with wear resistance, corrosion resistance, low drag, and self-healing properties to meet the needs of long-duration, high-value-added equipment. Meanwhile, the improvement in technological maturity is expected to drive its expansion from high-end ships to a wider range of scenarios such as marine engineering, industrial equipment and building protection, further expanding its global market space.
