Marine Engine Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Ship Type (Container Ships, General Cargo Ships, Oil Tankers, Bulk Carriers, Gas Carriers, Chemical Tankers, Support Vessels, Ferries and Passenger ships and Other Ship Types), Engine Type, Fuel Type, Speed, Application and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Marine Engine Market is accounted for $12.4 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $17.5 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period. A marine engine is a type of internal combustion engine specifically designed for use in marine environments, typically powering boats, ships, and other watercraft. These engines are designed to withstand the challenges of operating in a marine setting, including exposure to saltwater, vibrations, and varying weather conditions. These engines are crucial for propelling watercraft efficiently and reliably, with features and specifications tailored to the demands of marine applications, such as high torque at low speeds, corrosion resistance, and efficient cooling systems to manage heat generated during operation.
According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), merchant ship operations contribute close to USD 380 billion in freight rates within the global economy, which is equivalent to about 5% of the total world trade.
