The Marine Powerboats Batteries Market refers to the industry dedicated to manufacturing and supplying batteries specifically designed for powering marine powerboats
Increasing customer engagement in marine and recreational boating activities is notably driving the market growth. The primary markets for recreational boating are the US and Europe, with a significant portion of the growth attributed to marina and charter services operating in the US. The high cost associated with owning and maintaining leisure boats has led individuals in the US, especially those with mid-level and low-level annual incomes, to shift from boat ownership to experiencing boating through company-operated leisure and recreational boating services. Increased demand for Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units driven by offshore exploration in deep and ultra-deep water.
Moreover, the maritime industry is undergoing significant changes to address environmental concerns related to emissions. There is a growing focus on reducing sulfur and oxides emissions from vessels on a global scale. The shipping industry is exploring solutions such as low-speed marine dieselengines to contribute to a more environmentally friendly and sustainable economy. This shift towards cleaner technologies is crucial for mitigating the environmental impact of cargo ships, carriers, and other vessels involved in seaborne trade. The adoption of low-sulfur diesel oil and advancements in heavy fuel marine diesel oil engines are key aspects of achieving emission reductions and promoting a greener shipping industry on an international scale. Such factors are expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Increased usage of turbochargers in marine outboard engines is an emerging trend in the market. Turbochargers in marine inboard engines increase the volume of air to the combustion process without any surplus requirement for large displacement cylinders. In addition, a turbocharger is a component that aids engines in producing additional power and improves the overall performance of engines.
Moreover, it helps boost the power of engines by increasing the intake of air in combustion chambers. For example, a four-cylinder engine fitted with a turbocharger can produce the same power as a six-cylinder engine. In addition, the use of turbochargers reduces the size of engines without compromising on power and the benefits of fuel economy. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
Stringent MARPOL regulations are a major challenge hindering market growth. The growing awareness about environmental pollution has led to ramifications on pollution in seas and oceans globally, with a significant focus on marine pollution caused by ships and other marine vessels. In addition, marine engines use diesel as the major fuel source. Furthermore, most ships run on diesel engines. Therefore, such engines emit nitrous oxides, particulate matter, carbon oxides, hydrocarbons, and sulfur oxides that are not compliant with US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) air quality standards.
Moreover, these harmful emissions are a major source of ozone depletion, leading to global warming. Furthermore, the most significant international regulation that governs and addresses issues related to marine pollution is the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL). Furthermore, the MARPOL convention has a total of six annexes, each dealing with pollutants that result from accidents or routine operations. Hence, such factors are hindering the market growth during the forecast period.
