Rise in marine transportation activities to fuel the platform segment expansion

On the basis of platform, electric ships market is classified into commercial and defense. Commercial segment was valued at over USD 4.5 billion in 2022 and is set to witness substantial progress from 2023 to 2032 on account of the upsurge in marine logistics and transportation activities in the commercial space. As per OECD, around 90% of global trade is performed over ocean shipping. Also, according to the International Chamber of Shipping, around 11 billion tons of goods are transported by ships every year. Moreover, the expanding commercial fleet will further pave the way for segment growth.
 

Rising GHG emissions from maritime shipping to benefit the retro fit segment

Based on end-use, industry is bifurcated into line fit and retro fit. The retro fit segment accounted for more than 90% market share in 2022 owing to the surging trend of retrofitting hybrid/electric engines in existing vessels and ships. Increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the maritime shipping sector have resulted in severe global warming concerns. Subsequently, prominent efforts by many regulatory and government authorities towards GHG neutrality to conserve the marine ecosystem and biodiversity is likely to propel segment growth.
