    China Coatings Online News Information
    Ship coatings are used to protect ships, ships, offshore oil drilling platforms, navigation signs, dock steel piles and offshore steel structures and other facilities from seawater corrosion. Through the analysis of the current situation of the marine coating industry, it is difficult to adapt to different requirements of simple paint varieties, so different parts of the ship need to use different paint varieties.
    despite the "internal and external problems", but the domestic marine coatings industry has made no small breakthrough, for the future of the marine coatings industry, the relevant enterprises are still full of confidence.
    analysis of the current situation of China's marine coatings industry
    China's marine coatings are accompanied by the rise of China's shipbuilding industry. In the 1980s, with the migration of the world shipbuilding industry to East Asia, China's shipbuilding industry gradually became an important part of industrial manufacturing, and formed the Bohai Rim, Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta industrial layout. Ship coatings along with the shipbuilding industry has increased significantly, in 2015 China's new shipbuilding coatings and repair marine coatings reached a total of about 1.3736 million tons.
    the global shipbuilding and ship repair industry has completed the transfer to East Asia, the corresponding ship coating production has gradually shifted to East Asia, especially to the Chinese market. In 2010, China overtook South Korea as the world's largest shipbuilder, with a global shipbuilding share of 34.7%. As a labor-intensive industry, paint production needs a large number of cheap labor as a support, so China will naturally become the main production base of marine coatings.
    addition, merchant ships around the world have also reached the renewal period, with the global average age of 12.8 years in 1980 and 18.5 years in 1995, while the International Association of Shipowards has stipulated that ships up to 15 years of age must be overhauled. So far, many merchant ships have been over 20 years old, especially oil tankers. More than 300 large tankers built around the world in the 1970s are in urgent need of renewal, in addition to new tankers, which will add 35-40 tankers a year.
    with the prosperity of the shipbuilding industry, the market demand for marine paint is also increasing rapidly. Due to the different industrial structures of different countries, the proportion of marine paint in coatings varies greatly. According to experience and average calculation, the new ship needs to consume 50 tons of paint per ton, and the maintenance of the old ship needs 30 tons of paint per 10,000 tons. It can be predicted that by 2016, the total demand for marine coatings in China should reach 1.44 million tons.
    2010-2016 China's ship coating demand (tons) more than
    data, is a conservative statistics, China's total marine paint demand may actually be more than the above data, only for your colleagues to refer to, if there are omissions, please correct.
    From the chart, it can be seen that China's shipbuilding and ship repair paint volume is on the rise, China's annual use in shipbuilding paint volume is higher than the amount of ship repair paint, especially in 2012, China's shipbuilding paint volume far exceeds the total amount of ship repair paint 2542 million tons, we know that China's total demand in 2010 is only 560,000 tons.
    Such a phenomenon, first of all, from the 21st century, the world's largest manufacturers of marine coatings have entered China, which is not only a side of the development of China's marine coatings industry boom, attracting foreign investment to accelerate the pace of entry into the Chinese market, and in 2010, China replaced South Korea as the world's largest shipbuilder, by 2015, China's total shipbuilding volume of more than 12 million tons.
    Second, China's shipbuilding industry did not start early in some European and American countries, but later became the largest shipbuilding country, that is to say, we used less than 20 years to build people's ships for decades, shipbuilding paint volume is obviously much more than the maintenance of ships with paint volume. The global shipbuilding paint volume has been in a stable growth stage, but our country is still in the high-speed growth stage, which is also like the growth of a teenager and a baby's growth and development, although also in the growth stage, but the growth rate is different.
    However, China's shipbuilding coatings industry is growing at a rate of 10% per year, from the chart can be analyzed, although China's shipbuilding industry is still in a period of high growth, but in 2015, the shipbuilding industry suffered from the economic winter, on the one hand, the global economic downturn, the ship market demand further shrinks, making the shipbuilding industry's growth trend slow down. On the other hand, domestic factors, ship manufacturing overcapacity, especially low- and medium-end capacity, and high-end ships and high-end offshore equipment is in its infancy. However, the overall growth of the marine coatings industry in 2015 was still 10%.
    can obviously see that China's marine coatings industry is a small microcosm of China's paint development. According to the statistics of China Coatings Industry Association, China's marine-related coatings, accounting for about 10% of the total paint market. The average price of marine coatings is 35,000-40,000 yuan per ton, with a total market share of more than 35 billion yuan. As the world's largest shipbuilder, it can be said that the supply and demand of marine coatings is still in the stage of linear development, China's marine coatings market is still in a state of far greater demand than supply.
    According to the "2016-2021 China Ship Coatings Industry Special Research and Investment Value Forecast Report" released by the China Report Hall, although the demand for marine coatings market is very encouraging, but because of the high scientific and technological research and development requirements of marine coatings coatings enterprises, some of China's coatings enterprises can not reach advanced production levels, so this market is still controlled by foreign enterprises in China. Therefore, China's marine coating enterprises to get to this big cake has a long way to go.
