Autonomous Ships Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Solution (Systems, Software), Type (Maritime, Small), Component (Hardware, Software), Ship Type (Commercial, Defense), End User (Linefit, Retrofit) and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Autonomous Ships Market is accounted for $5.80 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $13.65 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period. The increasing use of automated systems to scale back human errors and risks, development of next-generation autonomous vessels and increasing development of software are the major factors driving the market growth. However, vulnerability related to cyber threats is restraining the market growth.
Autonomous ships are watercraft directed by artificial intelligence. As a kind of seafaring drone, these vessels can function independently and may be unmanned. They have the inherent to redefine the maritime industry. To give the ship's artificial intelligence a defined image, the autonomous ships use a fleet of sensors that are together with sensor fusion. High-definition cameras, radar, sonar, thermal imaging, and LiDAR are few of the sensors that are been utilized in these kind of ships. The autonomous ships permit improved optimization of processes & operations and thus are increasingly explored by the maritime industry.
Based on end user, the linefit segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth due to the increased investments in naval defence by various countries and rise in seaborne trade activities across the globe. By geography, Asia Pacific is going to have high growth during forecast period. Asia Pacific has witnessed rapid economic development over the years, increasing maritime trade. This uplift in sea trade has eventually led to an increasing demand for ships to transport manufactured goods worldwide. Thus, the increasing number of ships has uplift the demand for autonomous ships in the Asia Pacific region.
Some of the key players profiled in the Autonomous Ships Market include ABB, Mitsui E&S Holdings Co., Ltd, Marlink, Marine Technologies LLC, Ladar Ltd, L3Harris Asv, Kongsberg, Hyundai Heavy Industries, Honeywell International Inc, General Electric, Fugro, DNV Gl, Buffalo Automation, BAE System and Aselsan A.S. Company.
