Global marine scrubber systems market share is set to witness growth owing to increasing sulfur emission from ships along with rising concern toward pollution by ships. According to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) directives, ships are required to reduce SOx both inside & outside Sulfur Emission Control Areas (SECAs). Moreover, MARPOL has introduced norms with an aim to prevent pollution in sea by fuel & other toxic constituents. Stringency in these norms is anticipated to drive the installation of Exhaust Gas Cleaning (EGC) technology commonly known as scrubbers. These systems are efficient sulfur abatement technologies that eradicates particulate matters by 70% and SO₂ by 90%. Moreover, rising concerns pertaining to environment sustainability, adverse effects of SO₂ emissions on human health and increasing R&D initiatives toward green shipping will complement the business outlook. IMO, in January 2015, introduced norms to limit emission from PMs and has reduced the SOx release across the ECAs to 0.10%. Furthermore, the MEPC (Marine Environment Protection Committee), introduced a global limit of 0.5% on sulfur fuel content in 2016 that will go into effect on and after 1^st January 2020.

Closed loop units witnessing an ongoing consumer shift toward clean scrubbing process

Wet marine scrubber is set to witness growth on account of long-term operational flexibility along with less payback period. This technology is categorized by closed loop, open loop, & hybrid systems. Hybrid technology will grow at a high rate owing to greater flexibility & adjustability pertaining to closed and open loop cycles. Moreover, these systems operate in varying water alkalinity levels further strengthening the product adoption. In addition, low energy consumption and cost efficiency will positively impact the demand for dry scrubbers. This device does not utilize any liquid for the process instead uses a dry chemical for removing the sulfur compounds.
 

Demand for low emission and sustainable units driving the installation of MGO systems

The Marine Gas Oil (MGO) fuel will grow owing to its ability to generate comparatively low concentrations of sulfur and particulates in the atmosphere. The increased penetration of the fuel across various locations including the polar regions, the North Sea, the Caribbean Sea, the Baltic Sea, and North American waters have further enhanced the industry landscape. The fuel is a blend of heavy gas oil, which is in a higher price range in comparison to its counterparts. The increased adoption of the fuel by ship owners, specifically in SECAs, is further stimulating the demand for scrubbers. Moreover, the hybrid fuel market witnessed a significant turnaround in the recent years owing to the rising concerns toward the environmental protection coupled with strict IMO norms. Further, the growing need to meet the new ECA regulations has encouraged the shipping companies to develop new technologies with an aim to combat pollution.

Rapid industrialization along with a positive outlook toward commercial application will drive the Asia Pacific marine scrubber systems market size. Rapid rise in shipbuilding activities primarily in China, South Korea, and Japan will stimulate the product demand. South Korea, in 2018, announced an order of more than 200 new ships for its fleet that are required to comply with IMO norms further strengthening the product installation. In addition, demographic shifts in the urbanization along with the rising cross-border transport will enhance the industry landscape. Increasing emission of SOx, and PMs from marine industry along with its effect on the environment followed by stringency in legislations with an aim to combat the pollution will stimulate the product deployment. Furthermore, ongoing FDI flow on account of tax inversions, cross-border mergers, and M&A’s is set to complement the business growth.
