Autonomous Ships Market is Estimated to Register a CAGR of nearly 7% Near Future
Market Highlights
The growth of the global autonomous ships market can be attributed to
the increasing adoption of connected smart ships as they offer numerous
benefits such as vessel traffic management data and fleet health monitoring
data. Furthermore, autonomous ships support various systems such as alarm
management systems, navigation systems, and power management systems that
assist sailors in experiencing enhanced safety and offer compliance to the
maritime safety norms.
Factors such as increasing global seaborne trade and initiatives
undertaken by the navies of various countries such as the US for developing
autonomous ships are driving the market growth. However, the absence of skilled
personnel to operate and handle marine automation systems and unclear
regulatory framework for autonomous ships are expected to hamper the growth of
the market.
The global autonomous ships market has been segmented based on ship
type, autonomy, fit, solution, and region.
On the basis of ship type, the global autonomous ships market has
been divided into commercial and defense. The commercial segment is expected to
account for a larger market share during the forecast period and register a
higher CAGR from 2019 to 2030. Increasing developments in the field of
autonomous commercial shipping are driving the segment growth. For example, in
2018, ABB completed the trial of the remotely operated ferry, Suomenlinna II
near Finland’s Helsinki harbor.
Based on autonomy, the global autonomous ships market has been
classified as partial automation, remote operations, and full automation+. The
partial automation segment dominated the market in 2018. However, the full
automation segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast
period. Growing development of fully autonomous ships is driving the growth of
the segment. For example, in 2018, Rolls-Royce and FinFerries demonstrated a
fully autonomous ferry in the city of Turku, Finland.
On the basis of fit, the global autonomous ships market has been
categorized as line fit and retrofit. The line fit segment dominated the market
and is expected to register higher CAGR during the forecast period. Factors
such as increasing modernization of naval fleets by countries such as South
Korea, China, and India to enhnace their naval power and increasing deliveries
of new ships are driving the segment growth.
By solution, the global autonomous ships market has been
divided into systems, software, and solutions. The systems segment
dominated the market in 2018 and is expected to register the highest CAGR
during the forecast period. The rising need for situational awareness in
vessels is driving the growth of the segment as automated systems support
various features such as GPS, LiDAR, and HD cameras. These features offer
precise location information to the operators.
Based on region, the global autonomous ships market has been segmented
into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the rest of the world. The
Asia-Pacific market accounted for the largest market share in 2018. However,
the market in Europe is expected to register the highest CAGR during the
forecast period. Increasing investments made by prominent companies in the
development of fully autonomous ships is driving the market growth in the region.
