Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global marine electric vehicles market to grow stupendously at an impressive CAGR of more than 9% during the forecast period. The growing demand for electric unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) has been a key growth driver for this market. UUVs have extensive applications in maritime operations like off-shore hydrocarbon extraction, detailed mapping of the ocean floor, and scientific research. Moreover, UUVs are fitted with high-definition cameras that efficiently transmit data from the UUV to the operator. With better images and improved control of the vehicle, a better inspection of the underwater environment is possible. The increasing activities related to seabed mapping from oil and gas and defense sectors will propel the market for marine electric vehicles during the forecast period.
In this industry research report, the analysts have estimated factors like the growing adoption of electric vehicles is expected to spur the growth of this market in the coming years. Electric vehicles offer numerous benefits to the operator such as cost saving over product lifecycle, reduced pollution, increased durability, and low maintenance. This recent shift in preference for the hybrid electric boat from diesel-powered boats is expected to bolster this market’s growth until the end of 2020.
In 2015, the work boats segment dominated the marine electric vehicles market and accounted for around 36% of the market share. The increasing pressure from International Maritime Organization to protect the environment from emissions produced by boats and vessels have made vendors think of ways to reduce the consumption of fuel. Therefore, they are opting for alternative forms of technology like work boats and AUVs in oil and gas industry, thereby propelling the growth prospects of this market segment in the coming years.
During 2015, the Americas dominated the market accounting for close to 51% of the market share. Factors like the continuous and extended support from the government to develop electric vehicles, the urgent need for the reduction of carbon emissions, and volatile fuel costs to impel this market’s growth in the Americas during the forecast period.
The global marine electric vehicles market is highly fragmented and competitive owing to the presence of several small- and large-sized players in the market. As international players increase their footprint in the market with their massive infrastructure and R&D support, the regional vendors are finding it increasingly difficult to compete in terms of reliability and price. The competition is expected to intensify due to an increase in product extensions, technological innovations, and M&A.
