Global Autonomous Ships Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2028

Market Analysis and Insights : Global Autonomous Ships Market

The autonomous ships market is expected to witness market growth at a rate of 9.20% in the forecast period of 2021 to 2028 and is expected to reach USD 28,803.99 million by 2028. Data Bridge Market Research report on autonomous ships market provides analysis and insights regarding the various factors expected to be prevalent throughout the forecast period while providing their impacts on the market’s growth. The increase in the acceptance of automation is escalating the growth of autonomous ships market.

Autonomous ships refer to the ships that are remote built ships where operations are performed by remote control mechanism. These operations are operated by the humans located at the shore. Autonomous requires high quality systems and reliable communication system which work with the assistance of connectivity, control algorism and sensor technology. RADAR technology is used by the control system used for autonomous ships.

The rise in the investment in the autonomous projects acts as one of the major factors driving the growth of autonomous ships market. The increase in the development of next-generation autonomous vessels and the rise in the adoption of these systems in the vessels for the purpose of operating automate several processes such as navigation and propulsion of the vessel with the use of components and systems including sensors and automated navigation systems and propulsion control systems accelerate the market growth. The rise in the development of software, use of automated systems to reduce human errors and risks and the increase in demand for situational awareness in vessels, further influence the market. Additionally, surge in budgets of shipping companies for the incorporation of ICT in vessels, urbanization and digitization and development of next-generation of autonomous vessels positively affect the autonomous ships market. Furthermore, advancement in sensor technologies for improved navigation systems in autonomous ships and innovations in propulsion systems for autonomous ships extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2021 to 2028.

On the other hand, Cost-intensive customization of marine automation systems and lack of common standards for data generated from different subsystems in a ship are expected to obstruct the market growth. Concerns regarding vulnerability associated with cyber threats and lack of skilled personnel to handle and operate marine automation systems are projected to challenge the autonomous ships market in the forecast period of 2021-2028.
