The solid buoyancy material is a kind of solid compound which is obtained by the physical and chemical reaction of the inorganic light weight filling material into the organic polymer material.Based on the characteristics of low density and high pressure, solid buoyancy materials are widely used in civil, commercial and military applications, such as the counterweight of equipment in water, floating or suspended floating cables and buoys, submarine cable burying machinery, zero buoyancy towing body, unmanned remotely operated submersible, etc.Different conditions of use, its performance requirements are not the same.With the development of Marine technology, the application prospect of high strength buoyancy materials is very broad.In addition, since the solid buoyancy material is required for subsequent processing.Generally speaking, according to different processing requirements, the processing fee is very different.In this report, the price we calculated mainly refers to the ex-factory price of the solid buoyancy material itself, and does not include the processing costs.At present, hollow glass bead floating materials occupy the largest market share in the production end, and the market share of chemical foam buoyancy materials is continuously declining.Compared with chemical foam buoyancy material, hollow glass bead floating material has obvious advantages.
Global Solid Buoyancy Material (SBM) key players include Trelleborg, Balmoral, Matrix, etc. Global top three manufacturers hold a share over 45%.
Europe is the largest market, with a share about 45%, followed by United States, and Australia, both have a share about 40 percent.
In terms of product, Hollow Glass Bead Buoyancy Material is the largest segment, with a share over 75%. And in terms of application, the largest application is Offshore Oil Exploration, followed by Scuba Diving Equipment, Ocean Buoy, etc.
