The global marine adhesive market size is expected to reach USD 703.21 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.7% from 2023 to 2030, as per the new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The industry growth is majorly driven by the growing leisure marine and recreational boating industry and advancing shipbuilding industry worldwide.
According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, Japan, China, and South Korea accounted for a share of approximately 90.0% of the global marine vessel production with China leading the global shipbuilding industry. The country accounts for a share of approximately 40.0% of the total marine vessels produced worldwide, followed by Japan and South Korea.
Additionally, China accounts for a share of approximately 60.0% of the bulk carriers, approximately 49.0% of the container ships, approximately 47.0% of the general cargo ships, and approximately 45.0% of the offshore vessels manufactured worldwide. This advancing shipbuilding industry in Asia Pacific region is contributing to growth of the product market.
Moreover, according to the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) of the U.S., the sales of recreational boats in the country witnessed an increase of 12.0% in 2020 than their sales in 2019. Thus, the U.S. witnessed sales of more than 310,000 new boats in 2020 that were the highest in the recreational boating industry of the country since 2008.
Moreover, the sales of boats and marine products, as well as the costs of services, reached USD 47.0 billion in 2020 in the U.S. witnessing a growth of 9.0% in the same year as compared with that of 2019. Thus, the increasing demand for the recreational boating activities is expected to surge demand for the boats during the forecast period, thereby fueling demand for the marine adhesives used in them.
However, tankers that are used for transporting, loading, or unloading oil and chemicals at ports generate volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are harmful to the environment. To control these emissions from the tankers, the adhesives market has always been under strict scrutiny from diverse regional- and country-level regulatory bodies, including the International Maritime Organization. Thus, high level of VOC emission is acting as a restraining factor for the growth of product market.
