Offshore Patrol Vessel Market: Segmentation by Region

APAC was the largest offshore patrol vessel market in 2019, and the region will offer several growth opportunities to market vendors during the forecast period. The high defense spending on navy and expanding naval patrol vessel fleets of countries in APAC will significantly influence offshore patrol vessel market growth in this region.

42% of the market’s growth will originate from APAC during the forecast period. China, Japan, and India are the key markets for offshore patrol vessels in APAC. Market growth in this region will be faster than the growth of the market in other regions.

Offshore Patrol Vessel Market: Segmentation by Product

The lower cost of basic OPVs makes it easy for nations with a low navy budget to purchase them and expand the sizes of their respective fleets. This is driving the basic offshore patrol vessel market growth.

Market growth in this segment will be faster than the growth of the market in the high-end OPVs segment. This report provides an accurate prediction of the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the offshore patrol vessel market size.

Offshore Patrol Vessel Market: Key Drivers and Trends

The aggressive expansion by China into the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean is one of the crucial factors driving the offshore patrol vessel market growth. China has claimed most of the areas around the South China Sea, and this aggressive policy can disrupt the trade routes for many countries. The presence of high oil and natural gas reserves is considered among the key reasons for China’s massive expansion in the South China Sea. This region is of strategic importance as one-third of the world’s shipping, and most of Asia’s oil supply happens through this sea. Several countries, like Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia, and India, are taking adequate steps to tackle the threat of China’s sea expansion. To safeguard the sovereignty of various countries, navies of different countries use offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) to monitor maritime activities and protect critical situations. The demand for OPVs has been growing in the last decade and is expected to increase further during the forecast period.

The adoption of digital technologies in shipbuilding is one of the critical offshore patrol vessel market trends that will further boost the market growth. Globally, shipbuilders depend on traditional designing techniques to manufacture ships, including OPVs. Though digital technologies have been discussed for a long time, the technology was adopted by very few builders. The use of collaborative design tools, big data, and analytics in production, AR for precision in complex manufacturing, and robots for production and maintenance are a few of the applications of digital technology in shipbuilding. Digital technology adoption is expected to reduce operational costs by a huge margin, thus encouraging many builders to adopt digital shipbuilding and maintenance techniques.
