The prohibition on the use of these antifouling coatings led to the exploration for biologically inspired antifouling strategies which may provide with the natural and biomimetic antifouling surface coatings. Biomimetic approaches may well provide new insights into designing and developing surface active and non-toxic antifouling technologies.
Growth of organisms affects the performance and profitability of the ships or yachts in many ways, including decrease in the maximum speed of the ships and severe damage overtime by some marine growth such as shipworms. Also, harmful marine organisms may get transported by ships to other areas.

Opportunities in the market lie with the growth in oil and gas industry. Upcoming technology and advancement in antifouling coatings industry owing to environmental focus amongst ship owners and shipyard clients has led to the search for biologically inspired antifouling strategies which would impact the future of antifouling coating market development.

Antifouling coatings are coatings or paints that are applied to the hull of a boat, yacht or ship to prevent corrosion of metallic hulls and to decrease the expansion of organisms on the water submerged surfaces. The performance and durability of vessel can be improved by using antifouling coatings. These coatings are also used in floating and fixed offshore oil rigs. Submerged surfaces in the marine environment are affected by algae, bacteria, diatoms and invertebrates that cause hydrodynamic drag increase resulting in more fuel consumption, and decreased operational range and speed.
