The Global Consequences of Corrosion: The Silent Threat

Recent statistics highlight the significant impact of corrosion globally, underscoring its economic implications and future trends in corrosion management.

  • The Global cost of corrosion is estimated at approximately $2.5 trillion. Effective corrosion management could save between **$375 billion and $875 billion** annually by utilizing existing control practices (NACE)
  • The Global corrosion inhibitors market is projected to grow from $8.82 billion in 2024 to around $13.34 billion by 2034, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.23% during this period. This growth is driven by increasing demand across industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and chemicals (Corrosion Inhibitors Market Report 2024)
  • Global corrosion monitoring market is expected to expand significantly, from $349.94 million in 2023 to approximately $800.67 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 10.9%. This rise is fueled by heightened awareness in industries like oil and gas regarding the need for effective corrosion prevention measures.

  • These trends indicate a growing recognition of the importance of corrosion management in safeguarding infrastructure and enhancing operational efficiency across various sectors.

Why Oman Corrosion and Material Innovation Summit Matters?

Corrosion poses a significant hazard to our most critical assets in a world where infrastructure is the foundation of global progress. Oman Corrosion and Material Innovation Summit 2025 is a vital platform for addressing the multifaceted challenges that threaten our technological and industrial foundations.

Corrosion is not merely a technical issue; it is a global economic crisis. With losses amounting to trillions of dollars annually, industries worldwide are grappling with:

  • Substantial maintenance and repair expenses

  • Unanticipated operational disruptions

  • Infrastructure safety compromises

Our infrastructure is confronted with unprecedented obstacles

  • Ageing Structures: Innovative solutions are required to address the degradation of materials.

  • Extreme conditions accelerate material degradation in harsh environments.

  • Technological Deficits: Absence of standardized inspection and maintenance protocols

Our Shared Obstacle

The future of global infrastructure is contingent upon our capacity to:

  • Establish standardized inspection methodologies

  • Develop advanced protective technologies

  • Develop novel material science solutions

  • Reduce the likelihood of economic and safety hazards

More than an annual conference, Oman Corrosion and Material Innovation Summit is a critical convergence of leaders and experts who are dedicated to redefining the way we protect, preserve, and advance our industrial landscapes.
