Description

Definition and Scope:

The ballast water treatment system injects an inert gas (such as nitrogen) into the tank or the ballast flow to asphyxiate the organisms. This system can be effective, but it is important to note that this process takes two to four days and requires the tanks to be sealed against atmospheric oxygen.

The global Ballast Water Treatment System market size is projected to reach US$ 9842.20 Million by 2024, from US$ 4593.41 million in 2021, at a CAGR of 28.92% during 2022-2024. However, it is estimated that there will be overcapacity after 2024, and the market demand will only depend on the new shipbuilding market. It is estimated that the market size will be stable at about US$ 750 million per year after 2024. In 2004, the Ballast Water Management Convention or BWM Convention was promulgated. The convention requires ships built after 2016 to have ballast water treatment systems installed at the time of construction. It is estimated that by 2024, there will still be 15,000-20,000 ships in the world with the installation demand for ballast water treatment systems, and will usher in the installation peak in 2022. After 2024, the market demand for the entire Ballast Water Treatment Systems industry will be cleared, leaving only the market demand for new ships. This will bring about a huge drop in demand.

Other than just adjusting the overall weight of the vessel to distribute it evenly throughout the ship, ballast water management becomes all the more important during loading and unloading, thereby, providing more stability and maneuverability during transit. In addition, the need for ecological protection, wash contaminants, etc. will also bring impetus to the sustainable development of the Ballast Water Treatment Systems market.

Segment by Type, the Ballast Water Treatment System can be split into Chemical Method, Physical Method, etc. Chemical Method has been dominating the market from 2017-2021. In 2021, Chemical Method's market share will account for 63.50% of the entire market size, higher than Physical Method's 36.5%. During the forecast period of 2022-2028, the market size of Chemical Method and Physical Method will decline at a CAGR of -28.39% and -27.99%, respectively, due to the sharp decline in market demand.

On basis of geography, the Ballast Water Treatment System market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America ,Middle East and Africa, etc. In 2017-2021, the Asia-Pacific market holds the highest market share. In 2021, the Asia-Pacific market share will reach 46.05% of the entire market size, much higher than other regional markets. During the forecast period of 2022-2028, the size of all markets will be in a state of decline, but the Asia-Pacific market will continue to dominate the overall Ballast Water Treatment Systems market.

According to the application scenarios, the Ballast Water Treatment Systems market is mainly divided into Modify Ship and New Build Ship. During 2017-2021, the Modify Ship market accounted for the highest market share. In 2021, the market share of Modify Ship will reach 82.61% of the entire market size, corresponding to 17.39% of the New Build Ship market. During the forecast period from 2022 to 2028, the size of the Modify Ship market will decline significantly until it returns to 0. The New Build Ship market size will also decline at a CAGR of -1.25%, but its market share will eventually reach 100%.

Overall, the market concentration of Ballast Water Treatment Systems is low and competition is fierce. In 2021, Ballast Water Treatment Systems' market concentration measure CR5 is 37.34% (including JFE Engineering, Alfa Laval, Qingdao Headway Technology, Panasia, Qingdao Sunrui,) and HHI is 2.79%. Other key market players of Ballast Water Treatment Systems include Techcross, Wartsila Industrie De Nora, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Desmi, NEI Treatment Systems, Ecochlor, Hyde Marine, Bright Sky, Optimarin, Erma First, NK Co., Ltd, and TeamTec AS.
