DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/24a62e/global_and_chinese) has announced the addition of the "Global and Chinese Marine Coating Industry Report, 2010-2011" report to their offering.
Originated in Europe, the marine coating industry primarily serves the shipbuilding industry, ocean shipping industry and offshore engineering. Northern and Western European countries have accumulated rich experience in marine coating production, and the marine coatings they produced have excellent performance and enable construction at extremely low temperatures, as a result, even the aircraft carriers of the former Soviet Union had to use the coatings of Norwegian Jotun.
The global marine coating industry is highly concentrated, with only six major manufacturers, namely, AkzoNobel's International Paints, PPG, Hempel, Jotun, Kansai, and Chugoku. The latter two are Japanese enterprises and the rest are mostly European ones. PPG is an enterprise of the United States, but its marine coating business is originated from Sigma Kalon, acquired in January 2008. Sigma is a Dutch company which has provided the Dutch Navy with protective coatings since 1722.
With the largest output of shipbuilding, container and port equipment as well as the most cross-sea bridges in the world, China is the largest marine coating market. However, the Chinese marine coating market is almost monopolized by foreign enterprises and joint ventures, domestic enterprises can only be engaged in the business of coatings for small military ships and hold a market share of less than 5%.
