Automatic Identification System Market Trends



  • Rise in e-commerce's acceptance is driving the market growth.


The growth of e-commerce is driving the demand for AIS. E-commerce retailers need to track the movement of their goods in order to ensure that they are delivered on time and in good condition. AIS can be used to track the movement of goods from the warehouse to the customer's doorstep. This growth is being driven by a number of factors, including the increasing popularity of smartphones, the growth of online shopping, and the rise of cross-border e-commerce.The growth of e-commerce is having a significant impact on the maritime industry. As more and more goods are being shipped by sea, there is a growing need for accurate and reliable tracking information. This is where AIS comes in. AIS, or Automatic Identification System, is a technology that allows vessels to transmit their location, speed, and other information to other vessels and shore stations. This information can be used to track the movement of vessels, prevent collisions, and improve maritime safety. The growing demand for AIS from the e-commerce industry is being driven by a number of factors. First, e-commerce retailers need to track the movement of their goods in order to ensure that they are delivered on time and in good condition. AIS can be used to track the movement of goods from the warehouse to the customer's doorstep. Second, the growth of cross-border e-commerce is increasing the need for AIS. When goods are shipped across borders, there is a need for accurate and reliable tracking information in order to comply with customs regulations. AIS can be used to provide this information. Third, the increasing popularity of smartphones is making AIS more accessible. AIS data can now be accessed by smartphones, which means that anyone can track the movement of vessels. This is useful for a variety of purposes, such as recreational boating, fishing, and marine research.


The UK government has announced that it will mandate AIS for all commercial vessels operating in UK waters from 2023. This means that all commercial vessels, including fishing vessels, cargo ships, and ferries, will be required to have an AIS transponder installed. The government says that this will improve maritime safety and help to reduce the risk of collisions.


AIS data has been used to track Russian warships in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. This data has been used to provide real-time information about the movements of Russian warships, which has helped to deter attacks on Ukrainian vessels and infrastructure.


Here are some of the benefits of using AIS for e-commerce Improved tracking and visibility AIS can be used to track the movement of goods from the warehouse to the customer's doorstep. This gives e-commerce retailers greater visibility into the supply chain and helps them to ensure that goods are delivered on time and in good condition. Reduced costs AIS can help to reduce costs by improving efficiency and reducing the risk of delays. For example, AIS can be used to optimize shipping routes and avoid congestion. Improved safety AIS can help to improve safety by providing real-time information about the location and movements of vessels. This information can be used to prevent collisions and other accidents. Overall, the growth of e-commerce is a major driver of the demand for AIS. As the e-commerce market continues to grow, the demand for AIS is expected to grow as well. This is good news for the maritime industry, as it means that there will be a greater need for accurate and reliable tracking information. Thus, the e commerce market is driving the Automatic Identification System Market revenue.


Automatic Identification System Market Segment Insights


Automatic Identification System by Class Insights


Based on Class, theĀ  Automatic Identification System Market segmentation includes Class A and Class B. Class BĀ  category dominate the market 66.5% of theĀ  AIS market. Class B transponders are smaller and less expensive than Class A transponders, which makes them a good option for vessels with limited space or budget. Class B transponders still transmit important information, such as the vessel's position, speed, and course.

Ā Automatic Identification System Market, by Platform, 2022 & 2032 (USD Billion)


TheĀ  Automatic Identification System by organization size market segmentation includes Vessel Based and Onshore Based. The vessel based has generated the most income (65.4%). The vessel-based AIS dominates the market Real-time tracking Vessel-based AIS allows vessels to be tracked in real time, which is essential for maritime safety and efficiency. This is because it allows operators to see where vessels are and what they are doing, which can help to prevent collisions and other accidents. Compliance Vessel-based AIS is required by many maritime authorities, which means that many vessels are already equipped with AIS transponders. This makes it a more cost-effective option for many vessels. Portability Vessel-based AIS transponders can be easily moved from one vessel to another, which makes them a more flexible option for many vessels.


Automatic Identification System by application Insights


TheĀ  Automatic Identification System by application market segmentation includes fleet management, vessel tracking, maritime security and others. The largest application category, representing 37.6% of the market in 2021, is fleet management. This is because shipping corporations and other businesses that run fleets of ships are demanding more fleet management systems. Real-time vessel tracking through the use of AIS can help fleets operate more efficiently and spend less money.


Automatic Identification System Regional Insights


By Region, the study provides market insights into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Rest of the World. The North American Automatic Identification System Market area will dominate this market, owing to an increase in the defense budget.
