The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for cloud-based and web-based ship management software by SMEs and large enterprises respectively. North America is expected to lead the market during the forecast period, followed by Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa respectively.

Product Definition:
Ship management software is a computerized system used to manage various aspects of a vessel or fleet of vessels. The software typically includes modules for tracking cargo, crew, maintenance, and budgeting. It may also include tools for communications and navigation. Ship management software is important because it helps managers keep track of their vessels and make sure they are running efficiently.
Cloud Based:
Cloud-based software is a type of software service that provides shared computer hardware and allows users to access data from remote locations. The concept of cloud based ship management system was first introduced in the shipping industry with the launch of C&S: Cruise & Ship Management by copycat company, Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC). CSC’s cruise & ship management solution was an early adopter of cloud technology for maritime business as it enabled companies to eliminate their IT support costs.
Web Based:
The global web-based and it's usage in ship management software market size was valued at USD 1,054.0 million in 2016. The increasing adoption of cloud technology for the storage and transmission of data is expected to drive growth over the forecast period.
Application Insights:
The Asia Pacific region dominated the global market in 2017, attributed to the growing demand for efficient logistics solutions from various industries. The manufacturing sector in this region is expected to grow at a significant pace over the forecast period, which will increase the demand for ship management software applications in this part of the world.
The Middle East and Africa are anticipated to witness growth owing to increasing trade activities between countries such as India, China and Australia. Also, initiatives taken by regional governments such as Dubai Maritime City Council ¢â‚¬Å“ DMC¢â‚¬ are likely to foster industry development over next few years. For instance, DMC has announced plans for developing a maritime complex that will include a free zone and an international cruise terminal by 2019. All these factors are expected drive industry expansion over next few years resulting in increased penetration across various sectors including SMEs and large enterprises globally.
Regional Analysis:
The Asia Pacific region is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing regional market over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing adoption of ship management software by shipping companies and growing trade activities across emerging economies, such as China and India. In addition, rising demand for cruise ships in these countries will drive the growth further. Furthermore, increasing investments by governments in developing infrastructure projects are anticipated to boost demand for maritime transportation services thereby driving SHMS market growth over the forecast period.
North America accounted for a significant share of global revenue in 2017 owing to early adoption of advanced technologies among shipping companies operating within this region coupled with high preference towards cloud based solutions owing to their benefits offered by technology providers such as IBM Corporation; Autoship Systems Inc.; and AIS Live!. However, slow pace adopted by U.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for maritime transportation: The global seaborne trade has been growing at a CAGR of around 4% in the past few years and is expected to grow further in the coming years, driven by the growth of global trade and increasing containerization. This is expected to result in an increase in demand for ship management software.
- Proliferation of digital technologies: The proliferation of digital technologies such as big data, cloud computing, IoT, etc., is resulting in increased efficiency and transparency across various industries including maritime transportation. This is driving the adoption of ship management software among shipping companies worldwide.
- Stringent safety regulations: Shipping companies are increasingly becoming aware about the importance of safety regulations and are investing heavily on compliance-related activities such as installing ship management software systems that help them meet these regulations easily and efficiently.
- Growing need for cost-effective shipping solutions: Shipping companies are looking for cost-effective ways to manage their fleets and operations, which has led to an increase in demand for ship management software systems that can help reduce costs significantly without compromising on quality or safety standards
