Marine power systems refer to technologies and equipment used to generate, distribute, and store electrical power for ships, boats, offshore platforms, and other applications. With increasing power supply shortages at sea, there is a growing demand for marine power systems that can provide reliable and efficient power solutions. Marine power generation methods include motor generators, fuel-based engines, and renewable energy sources such as waves, wind, and solar energy. Floating production platforms are increasingly being used to harness wave and wind energy, while ships and boats are turning to motor generators and fuel-based engines for power. Distribution equipment, such as transformers and switchgear, play a crucial role in transmitting electrical power from the source to the end-user. Auxiliary power systems, including lighting and other non-essential power needs, are also an essential part of marine power systems. The market is driven by the need for efficient and sustainable power solutions for ships, boats, and offshore platforms.
In addition, key players in the market include shipbuilders, naval architects, equipment makers, and service providers. The market is expected to grow significantly due to the increasing adoption of renewable energy sources and the decommissioning of fossil fuel-based power systems. Energy storage systems are also gaining popularity in the market, as they provide a more stable and reliable power source, reducing the reliance on fuel-based engines. The market for marine power systems is expected to grow at a steady pace in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for power in the shipping industry and the shift towards renewable energy sources.
The surge in commercial shipping is driving the market growth. Globalization has led to an increase in commercial shipping. Transportation of goods via sea mainly takes place in the form of containers. The products are categorized into less-container-load and full-container-load. Ship tankers transport goods such as oil, grain, and coal in bulk. Therefore, tankers are ideal for transporting heavy and bulky goods and products that involve longer lead times.
Further, shipping of commercial goods has many advantages. Ships use less fuel when compared to trucks and trains, thereby producing fewer amounts of carbon dioxide. They also produce less noise pollution. Moreover, there are fewer accidents in ship transport when compared to trucks and trains, which makes them a safer mode of transport. The rise in the adoption of shipping and its importance to seaborne trade, along with the emergence of developing countries in shipbuilding and related activities, are expected to drive the demand for marine power systems. These factors will contribute to the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The growing marine hybrid propulsion market is a key trend in the market. High pollution caused by diesel propulsion engines has led to an increase in the use of hybrid marine propulsion engines in vessels. Maritime authorities and major ports across the world have implemented standards for vessels. As a result, shipping operators have to follow the emission guidelines. For instance, new regulations by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) came into effect in 2015.
In addition, China and other APAC countries, such as Indonesia and Australia, are expected to make significant investments in the hybrid tugboats and offshore support vessels segment. South America is another region to adopt hybrid vessels due to the development of offshore hydrocarbon basins in the region. Thus, the development of hybrid marine propulsion systems offers marine engine manufacturers the potential to increase their revenue and market share. This, in turn, will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The collapse of the Greek shipbuilding industry is challenging market growth. The Eurozone crisis of 2009 had a major impact on the shipbuilding industry in Greece. The industry is facing a threat from countries such as China, Japan, and Korea, which have low labor costs. Greek shipyards offer higher wages than their competitors. The high labor cost has compelled ship owners to place orders with shipyards based in APAC.
Moreover, the situation in the Greek shipbuilding industry has impacted the global shipping industry, especially in Europe. This has negatively affected the revenue of engine manufacturers. Hence, many manufacturers based in Europe are adopting strategies to expand their market presence. Such factors are anticipated to become a major challenge for the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.
Daihatsu Diesel Mfg. Co. Ltd. - The company offers high-performance engines, electronic propulsion systems, and dual-fuel engines. Under the Marine-use Engines segment, the company manufactures internal combustion engines for marine.

The internal lighting segment was valued at USD 6.93 billion in 2018. Some of the commonly used products in this segment include light emitting diode (LED) lighting, fluorescent lighting, incandescent lighting, and halogen lighting. The specific product offerings and market dynamics within the internal lighting segment of the market may evolve over time, influenced by technological advancements, regulatory requirements, and market demand. These factors will drive the growth of this segment during the forecast period.
The commercial ships segment will account for a significant share of market growth during the forecast period. Marine transport is the most cost-effective way to transport manufactured goods and commodities across the world in bulk. Commercial ships are used for seaborne trade to transmit goods either through containers or cargo ships. Global container trade is considered to account for the majority of overall global seaborne trade. The fall in global fuel prices has resulted in the growth of boating operators across the world, thereby driving the demand for deck machinery. These factors will drive the growth of this segment during the forecast period.
