The hazardous nature of antifouling and anti-corrosion product types is a major source of concern among industry participants and may hamper the leisure boat marine coatings market growth in the forecast period. Antifouling product type contain toxic biocidal compounds such as copper, zinc and tributyltin (TBT) which gradually leach into the water to prevent formation of fouls in boats. Although, these products are of prime importance for increasing a boats speed and energy efficiency, their usage causes significant harm to the coastal environment. The use of anti-corrosion product type is also regulated according to the amount of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. These factors are likely to hinder the leisure boat marine coatings market growth as manufacturers will have to develop products that have lower environmental impact resulting in higher production costs.

Foul release product segment of the leisure boat marine coatings market will grow by a CAGR of more than 7.5 percent in the forecast period. The segment will witness high growth due to the environmental friendly nature of the product which is likely to substitute anti-fouling products in the future. Foul release products use silicone technologies to create a super-smooth surface that is difficult for marine life to attach to. They provide significant advantages over the traditional anti-fouling types such as better performance, eco-friendliness, easy application, and lower maintenance, making it a popular segment in the leisure boat marine coatings market.
