Marine Hybrid & Full Electric Propulsion Market Forecasts to 2028 - Global Analysis By Product, Ship Type, Deadweight, Fuel, Power Rating, Application and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Marine Hybrid & Full Electric Propulsion Market is accounted for $4.6 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $9.9 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 13.6% during the forecast period. Marine propulsion is a system or device used to generate thrust to move a ship or boat across water. The setup of a propulsion system depends on the vessel size, transport system, and type of operation. Diesel marine propulsion system is a common type of marine propulsion system. The engine is directly connected to the generator in a full electric marine propulsion system. Full electric marine propulsion enhances the overall efficiency of the vessel and also reduces the carbon footprint. Full electric marine propulsion system consists of a series of motors and generators where electric power is transmitted from the engine to the propeller shaft through the motor controller and electric motor.

According to the U.N. international maritime organization if ocean shipping were a country, it would be the sixth-largest carbon emitter and accounts about 2.2% of all global greenhouse gas emissions.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Innovation in Propulsion Systems

Increased awareness about air pollution and its consequences on the environment has prompted businesses to explore more environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions for the industry. Companies are concentrating on increasing battery capacity and reducing battery size for fully electric vessels. Thus, innovation in propulsion systems is expected drive the market growth.

Restraint:

Strict regulations

The stringent environmental regulations, the need for fuel efficiency and the high initial investment cost are the factors impeding the market growth. The cost of electric and hybrid propulsion systems is significantly higher than the conventional propulsion systems. In addition, the lack of trained personnel for operating and maintaining these systems is also a challenge for the market growth.

Opportunity:

Increasing trade of resources

Large vessels are used more frequently in the trade of resources. These massive ships are being driven through the market while carrying vast amounts of resources. Also, the market is expanding due to ongoing advances in the marine sector and rising ship owners' desires for high fuel-efficient features. Furthermore, increasing defence budget by various emerging economies is expected to expand the market growth.

Threat:

High cost of raw materials

The high cost of maintenance is another big issue for ship owners. Regular upkeep and service of the electric and hybrid propulsion systems raises the overall cost. Ships that have been retrofitted incur additional costs for the installation of the gear required for hybrid or all-electric propulsion. The high cost of batteries and the lack of availability of charging infrastructure are the major aspects hampering the market growth.

Covid-19 Impact

The marine sector is already seeing the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak. In order to implement methods that aid in the creation of prospects for revenue generation, ship owners, suppliers, and analysts in the market for marine hybrid & full electric propulsion are on the lookout for opportunities to attend webinars and online trade events. Companies in the market have experienced problems like climate change and the difficulty of digitization, and it is expected that things will get worse as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.

The diesel electric segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The diesel electric segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to the fuel-efficient technology of diesel-electric propulsion. It is a method in which a generator is powered by a diesel internal combustion engine (ICE) to generate electricity for an electric motor in a naval vessel. It is a propulsion system that naval ships use extensively. These are the major factors propelling the growth of the segment.

The yachts segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The yachts segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to protecting the world and ocean by developing luxury yachts that have the lowest environmental footprint, along other benefits. The proven and versatile hybrid propulsion package combines a conventional diesel propulsion with and efficient diesel-electric propulsion. Thus, these factors are enhancing the growth of the segment.

Region with Largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the rising orders and deliveries of new aircraft. Investments in shipping industry have expanded dramatically in the region due to expansion in marine traffic in countries. The highly developed shipbuilding industry, which is involved in the creation of intricate naval vessels, is responsible for the growth. This is expected to boost the market in the region.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the rising trade and tourism, demand for fuel-efficient technology, and stringent rules and regulations on emissions. Rising demand for propulsion systems and propellers was caused by an increase in the number of ships brought on by expanding international seaborne trade. Hence, this is the major factor influencing the growth.
