Market Overview:
The global self-driving ships market is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for autonomous vessels for commercial and scientific applications, and the increasing focus on military & security applications of autonomous vessels. Maritime self-driving ships are expected to hold a larger share of the global self-driving ships market than small self-driving ships during the forecast period. However, small self-driving ships are expected to witness higher growth rates due to their growing adoption in commercial and scientific applications. North America is estimated to account for the largest share of the global self-driving ships market in 2018, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific.
Product Definition:
Self-driving ships are vessels that can navigate and control themselves without human input. This technology is important because it could potentially reduce the number of accidents at sea, as well as help ships travel more efficiently.
Maritime Self-driving Ships:
Maritime self-driving ships are vessels that can navigate and move on their own without the need for human intervention. These ships use sensors, GPS, radars and other electronic devices to perform navigation automatically. The technology is still in its nascent stage with companies such as Aker Innovation, Terex Corporation and others investing heavily in R&D activities to commercialize the technology soon.
Small Self-driving Ships:
Small self-driving ships are autonomous vessels that can navigate without human intervention. They have sensors, radars and LiDAR which help them in navigation. These systems work on the basis of detecting objects around it and reacting to those accordingly. The small self-driving ship industry is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand for automated shipping solutions from various end-use industries such as automotive & transportation, oil & gas, energy utilities among others.
Application Insights:
The commercial & scientific application segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The increasing need for autonomous ships due to rising cyber-attacks, pollution, and other maritime security issues is expected to drive the adoption of self-driving ships over the coming years.
The military & security application segment was one of the key contributors towards revenue growth in 2017 as it allows governments to conduct missions more efficiently by reducing human casualties and allowing greater flexibility. Moreover, countries such as China and Japan are focusing on developing their marine capabilities owing to increased maritime tensions with other countries such as USA, UK etc. This trend is expected continue over the coming years which will positively impact market growth across regions globally.
Regional Analysis:
The Asia Pacific regional market is anticipated to hold the largest share by 2030. The region is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing investments in developing smart ships and autonomous systems. Moreover, rising demand for cruise tourism in countries such as China, Japan, South Korea and Australia has led maritime operators as well as ship owners to adopt self-driving technology solutions for passenger vessels.
North America held a substantial revenue share of the global market in 2017 due to early adoption of advanced technologies across various industries such as transportation. The U.S., being a maritime nation with extensive coastlines on both coasts; Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico coastline; has extensively adopted self-driving ships technology across all modes of water transport including cruise ships, ferries etc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for maritime transport: The global demand for maritime transport is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2016 to 2020, owing to the growth in international trade and the increase in seaborne traffic. This is expected to drive the growth of the self-driving ships market during the forecast period.
- Technological advancements: The development of new technologies such as autonomous navigation systems and collision avoidance systems has led to increased adoption of self-driving ships, which is driving the growth of this market.
- Stringent safety regulations: Stringent safety regulations pertaining to maritime transportation are encouraging vessel operators and shipbuilders to adopt advanced technologies such as self-driving ships, thereby propelling market growth. For instance, In March 2017, Rolls-Royce announced that it will supply its latest automated steering system called “AutoThrust” for a newbuild container ship order from Danish shipping company DFDS A/S . This system will help vessels comply with upcoming International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations on safe navigation set for 2020 .
