Find Out in FMI’s Survey Why Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administrations Are Prioritizing Cathodic Protection
The global cathodic protection market is experiencing significant growth due to the rising adoption of sacrificial anode cathodic protection (SACP) systems. These cost-effective solutions, using metals like magnesium, aluminum, and zinc, safeguard infrastructure such as pipelines and marine structures from corrosion.
NEWARK, Del, Feb. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to industry estimates, the cathodic protection market size is projected to grow from USD 5,101.4 million in 2025 to USD 8,469.2 million by 2035, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% during the forecast period.
Cathodic protection is used by small to heavy industries to control and mitigate the effects of corrosion. Therefore, the oil & gas, water & wastewater, and processing plants among others are key consumers of protection products and services.
East Asia accounts for a prominent share of the global cathodic protection market, which is led by China. The region accounts for collective industry value worth more than USD 9 trillion. The region is anticipated to gain 160 bps points throughout the forecast period.
According to FMI, corrosion damage accounts for between 3% and 5% of the gross national product (GNP) of industrialized nations. An improved choice of corrosion prevention strategies, such as cathodic protection, is predicted to save one-third of the typical economy's annual cost of USD 300 Billion caused by metal corrosion.
Furthermore, with increasing global cost of corrosion, the need for technologies related to its prevention is rising at a significant rate. For the prevention of any catastrophic events in industries, corrosion prevention and control are essential. Cathodic protection is a globally used technique to control the corrosion of a metal surface in harsh environments.
Owing to its high efficiency and reliability, the cathodic protection market is estimated to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period, supported by the increasing demand for corrosion prevention technologies to minimize the direct cost of corrosion. The cathodic protection market holds around 12-18% of the global corrosion protection market share.

Top Trend Spurring Sales in the Cathodic Protection Market
• High Demand for Industrial Production Index
The industrial production index (IPI) measures the output from manufacturing, mining, electric, and other industries, which are some of the key downstream segments in the market. Growing output from these industries leads to a higher demand for corrosion protection services for existing infrastructure, as well as new construction to increase the productivity of processing plants.
Industrial production index is expected to witness high demand during the forecast period, which would lead to the creation of numerous growth opportunities for manufacturers present in the cathodic protection market.
Which Factors Are Hampering Sales In The Global Cathodic Protection Market?
The existing workforce serving the cathodic protection market, especially in today’s developed world, is aging quickly, and the replacement rate has been comparatively slow. Rendering of services related to cathodic protection requires a highly skilled workforce with adequate knowledge, training, and experience.
There is no glam quotient attached to the sector, and attracting fresh talent may prove to be a complex task for the industry. Lack of skilled human resources available to serve the market may restrain growth to a certain extent. The industry would need to develop partnerships and step up on-the-job training efforts to induct fresh hands into the sector.
Key Factors Shaping Market Dynamics
- Growing emphasis on corrosion prevention in aging infrastructure
- Rising investments in the oil & gas sector for corrosion control
- Increasing adoption of smart monitoring in cathodic protection systems
- Stringent regulatory compliance and environmental safety measures
- Challenges related to awareness and skilled workforce shortages
Increasing Corrosion Prevention Needs in Aging Infrastructure
Aging infrastructure, particularly in developed economies, has heightened the demand for cathodic protection solutions. Many pipelines, bridges, and marine structures are susceptible to corrosion due to prolonged exposure to harsh environmental conditions. Governments and industries are actively investing in advanced corrosion control technologies to prevent structural failures and minimize maintenance costs.
The need for infrastructure rehabilitation is particularly prominent in regions such as North America and Western Europe, where aging pipelines and transportation networks require immediate intervention. Cathodic protection systems offer a cost-effective solution to extend the lifespan of these assets while reducing overall repair expenditures.
Expanding Oil & Gas Sector Driving Demand for Corrosion Control
The oil & gas industry is one of the largest consumers of cathodic protection systems, given the extensive network of pipelines and storage facilities that require corrosion prevention. As global energy demand continues to rise, investments in new pipeline projects and offshore drilling operations have surged, further driving the need for reliable corrosion control solutions.
The increasing adoption of sacrificial anode and impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems in oil refineries and petrochemical plants is expected to fuel market growth. Additionally, stringent regulations mandating corrosion prevention measures in the oil & gas sector will further propel demand for cathodic protection technologies.
Increasing Adoption of Smart Monitoring in CP Systems
Advancements in digital technologies have paved the way for smart monitoring systems in cathodic protection. The integration of sensors and IoT-enabled solutions allows real-time monitoring of corrosion rates and system performance, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
Smart monitoring solutions enable predictive maintenance, allowing industries to address potential corrosion issues before they escalate into major failures. This technological shift is gaining traction across industries such as marine, infrastructure, and oil & gas, contributing to the widespread adoption of cathodic protection systems.
“Industry analysts highlight that the growing demand for corrosion control solutions, coupled with technological advancements, will significantly drive market expansion. The increasing focus on environmental safety and regulatory compliance will further encourage industries to invest in advanced cathodic protection solutions.” opines Nikhil Kaitwade, Associate Vice President at Future Market Insights (FMI)
