Autonomous Ship Market worth $14.2 billion by 2030


The global Autonomous Ships market size is estimated to be USD 5.8 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 14.2 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 9.3% from 2020 to 2030.

Some of the major factors driving this market include the increasing investments in autonomous projects, development of next-generation of autonomous vessels, increasing demand for situational awareness vessels.

Automation systems, such as alarm, management, and health monitoring systems in ships, enable fleet operators to monitor the wear and tear of components and systems and provide alerts for the same for precautionary action. These automated ships use IoT, Big Data analytics, and cloud computing, among other systems, to provide real-time data to onshore platforms to help them identify malfunctions in fleet operations, thereby reducing the operational costs of marine vessels. These ships provide the required situational awareness to fleet operators, thereby reducing their risks of damage as well as operational costs. Thus, autonomous ship manufacturers across the globe are developing components and systems that will automate the whole ship to enable its easy monitoring. In April 2018, Sea Machines Robotics signed a contract with A.P. Moller-Maersk (Denmark) to trial its perception and situational awareness technology on Winter Palace ice-class container ships. The solution chosen by Maersk was the latest in Sea Machines’ portfolio. Sea Machines is actively developing advanced perception technology and navigation assistance technology for a range of vessel types.

Agreements, collaborations, new product developments, contracts, expansion, acquisitions, and partnerships are among some of the key strategies adopted by the leading market players to strengthen and sustain their position in the autonomous ship market For example, In February 2017, Honeywell received a contract worth USD 8.0 million from Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) and STX Offshore & Shipbuilding (STX) to supply marine automation systems for five vessels commissioned by ship-owners in Norway, Russia, and the US. In December 2018, ABB took the next step in autonomous shipping by conducting a trial of a remotely operated passenger ferry. The ferry, known as Ice-class passenger ferry Suomenlinna II, was remotely piloted with the cooperation between ABB and Helsinki City Transport. Major players operating in the autonomous ship market include ABB Ltd (Switzerland), Honeywell International Inc. (US), Rolls-royce PLC (UK), Wartsila (Finland), Kongsberg (Norway), Hyundai Heavy Industries (South Korea), Northrop Grumman Corporation (US), L3Harris (US), Aselsan AS (Turkey).
