Integrated Bridge System for Ships

An integrated bridge system is a combination of numerous systems including autopilot, radar, gyro, position fixing systems, ECDIS, power distribution system, steering gear, sensors, and GMDSS which are interconnected to allow a centralized monitoring of various navigational tools and improve the overall operational efficiency of ships.

The growth of the integrated bridge systems for ships market is expected to be driven by key factors such as the increasing international seaborne trade and shipbuilding, growing demand for cruise ships, and a rise in spending on naval warships. However, the high cost of customized integrated bridge systems is expected to restrict the market growth in the global market. On the other hand, increased spending on port construction in developing nations and rising awareness about maritime safety and security pose lucrative opportunities for the vendors in the integrated bridge systems for ships market.

COVID-19 Impact vs  Opportunities for Global Integrated Bridge System for Ships Market:

The integrated bridge systems for the shipping market had a major impact due to the spread of the pandemic virus. COVID-19 affected a large number of people across the globe, and the IBS market faced huge challenges during the pandemic’s spread. The R&D, production, distribution, and sales were negatively impacted, and the employees working around were infected with the virus. Countries such as the US, the UK, and India constitute a large number of market players with high-volume sales. These regions were hit hard by the different variants of the virus, further affecting the manufacturing of different products. The government authorities passed regulations to stop the production of non-essential products to prevent the disease from spreading. In addition, a large number of countries across the globe faced an economic, social, and fiscal crisis. The mobility of the people was restricted, and no recreational activities were carried out, so the demand for new ships and their components declined significantly during the pandemic. However, the increased spending on port construction in developing nations offers lucrative opportunities for the growth of the players in the global integrated bridge systems for ships market.

Market Dynamics:

Drivers:

With growing international seaborne trade and shipbuilding, the demand for efficient and safe ship management is likely to continue growing, thereby driving the demand for integrated bridge systems. Thus, the increasing international seaborne trade and shipping is expected to drive the growth of the global integrated bridge systems for ships market during the forecast period.

Opportunities:

Over the past few years, port construction & development activities have significantly risen in developing nations, particularly in Asia. These emerging economies have been investing heavily in the construction & development of ports for facilitating trade, military operations, and other strategic purposes. Most of these port construction & development activities are focused on improving extensive port service capacities, accelerating the construction of green ports, driving the development of intelligent ports, upgrading port management systems, and integrating ports, thus creating lucrative opportunities for the growth of the players in the global integrated bridge systems for ships market.

Restraint:

The high customization cost involved in integrated bridge systems is primarily responsible for restraining the overall demand for integrated bridge systems, thereby restricting the growth of the global integrated bridge systems for ships market during the forecast period.

Challenges:

The use of digital network systems for navigation has been on the rise. Such systems come equipped with an interface to shoreside networks to provide updates and services, making them vulnerable to cyber risks. Even the bridge systems that are not connected to any shoreside network can be equally vulnerable, owing to the usage of removable media for updates from networks, including controlled and uncontrolled ones. Thus, the vulnerability to cyber risks is a crucial challenge for the players in the global integrated bridge systems for the ship’s market.
