Global Marine Azimuth Stern Drive Thruster Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Marine Azimuth Stern Drive Thruster market size is predicted to grow from US$ 541 million in 2025 to US$ 616 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.2% from 2025 to 2031.

A marine azimuth stern drive thruster is a ship propulsion system that combines the features of a propeller and an azimuth thruster and is usually installed at the stern. It consists of a rotatable thrust unit installed at the rear of the hull, which contains an electric motor or a diesel engine and a propeller that can rotate 360 ​​degrees. Unlike traditional propulsion systems, an azimuth stern drive thruster can provide thrust in any direction without changing the course of the ship by rotating the entire propulsion unit. This gives the ship great flexibility in maneuverability and is particularly suitable for ships that require high maneuverability and precise positioning, such as tugboats, passenger ships, cruise ships, and certain special-purpose ships.
