［Objective/Significance］This paper aims to comprehensively understand the currentresearch status of anti-skid coatings for decks，analyze existing problems，propose improvement suggestions and future development directions，and provide theoretical support and research ideas forthe development of novel high-performance anti-skid coatings.［Analysis/Discussion/Progress］This paper focuses on reviewing the research progress and application prospects of polymer-based andmetal-based anti-skid coatings for decks，both domestically and internationally. Anti-skid coatings for decks have attracted significant attention due to their excellent properties，including anti-skid performance，abrasive resistance，weather resistance，and corrosion resistance. Polymer-based coatingsoffer advantages such as good flexibility and ease of application，while metal-based coatings exhibithigher hardness and enhanced corrosion resistance. Based on the current development status of anti-skid coatings for decks，the paper analyzes the current research shortcomings of anti-skid coatings for decks，identifies deficiencies in the development of such coatings within China，and puts forward corresponding improvement suggestions and measures.［Conclusion/Prospect］This paper clarifies the key development directions for future research on deck anti-skid coating materials，that is，the transition towards novel anti-skid coatings characterized as environmentally friendly，durable，and highly functional. This will serve as a valuable reference for researchers in related fields and furtheradvance the technological development of anti-skid coatings for decks.
