Marine Engine Market Trends

• 
  

  International marine freight transport is expanding, which will enhance the market growth

  
  

International trade depends heavily on maritime transportation. Boats, engine-driven boats, and other like vehicles are all classified as marine vehicles and use marine engines. Marine vehicles can be used for commercial, security, or private purposes. Ocean shipping is the primary form of transportation for international trade. According to UNCTAD, around 80% of the volume of commodities traded internationally are transported by water, with the percentage being much greater for most emerging nations. Compared to air, train, and road transportation, this mode of transportation is more affordable and practical for international trade. From 2022 to 2026, the world's marine engines are anticipated to grow at a modest annual pace. As per market dynamics, similar tendencies might be seen in the expansion of the world marine engines industry. Due to the release of pent-up demand and restocking and inventory accumulation, maritime commerce recovered in 2021. Following the dire circumstances in 2020 caused by the pandemic, the rapid increase in demand in 2021 led to shortages of shipping capacity, containers, and equipment, leading many shipowners to purchase newbuild or old retrofitted vessels to close this demand-supply imbalance.

As a result of its abundance of raw resources and labor, the Asia-Pacific region has recently become a center for  manufacturing. As a result of a growth in the export of manufactured and raw materials, there is a major increase in the demand for container ships in this Region. Due to the reopening of economies, a rise in OPEC output, and the growth of Asian economies, oil demand surged in 2021. There may be a rise in demand for very big crude transporters as a result of this trend, which is ongoing. Natural gas is a low-carbon energy source, and as economies move toward decarbonization, so will the volume of gas traded internationally.

Due to its affordability, marine transportation is one of the most popular forms of transportation, particularly for freight shipping. Seaborne trade has grown significantly in recent years. Therefore, such factors will boost the market growth of marine engines. For example, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) estimates that  seaborne trade reached 10.7 billion tonnes in 2020. Additionally, a study from the UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) agency states that exports and imports increased worldwide trade for commercial items in November 2021. Worldwide imports of goods climbed by 13.3% in 2021, while  exports increased by 14.3%. Additionally, the United Nations Conference on Commerce and Development (UNCTAD) agency reports that during the past several years, international marine trade has increased (2010–2019)  marine trade increased from 8,408 million loaded tonnes in 2010 to 11,076 million tonnes in 2019.

Marine Engine Market Segment Insights

Marine Engine Power Insights

Based on power, the  Marine Engine market segmentation includes Up to 1000 HP, 1001 HP to 5000 HP, 5001 HP to 10000 HP, 10001 HP to 20000 HP and Above 20000 HP. In 2021, the over 20,000 HP market category represented a greater marine engine market share. Most extremely big boats, such as huge bulk carriers, cargo ships, containerships, defense vessels, LPG carriers, and LNG carriers, use more than 20,000 horsepower marine engines. These ships are generally employed as primary maneuvers to make it easier for them to navigate the waterways. The expansion of international maritime trade, the need for more ships to meet the limited supply of available ships, and the need to replace some of the current fleets to meet the strict International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations that go into effect in January 2020 are all anticipated to contribute to the above 20,000 HP segment's growth over the forecast period.

Marine Engine Type Insights

Based on fusion type, the  Marine Engine market segmentation includes Commercial Vessels and Offshore Support Vessels. Due to increased marine commerce, the commercial category was predicted to be the largest section in 2021. Bulk carriers, container ships, tankers, auto carriers, and roll-in/roll-out (RO-RO) carriers are other subcategories of the commercial segment. Due to the increasing need for shipping, it is anticipated that the demand for bulk carriers, tankers, and container ships will increase throughout the projection period.

Marine Engine Fuel Insights

Based on Fuel, the  Marine Engine market data includes Two and Four strokes. As per the market forecast, the two strokes segment will exhibit the highest growth. Large and low-speed engines are two-stroke engines. Two-stroke engines propel the supertankers and other extremely large trading boats. For modest capacity installations, four-stroke engines are chosen since they emit fewer greenhouse gases (GHGs) than two-stroke engines. The four-stroke engines category is anticipated to contribute during the projection period substantially. Most small ships and boats used for transportation and recreation use these engines. The need for four-stroke engines is primarily driven by their lower noise output, cost-effectiveness, high speed, and improved fuel economy.
