What Fueled The Previous Growth In The Dynamic Positioning Systems Market?
The dynamic positioning systems market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, there has been significant growth in the market size of dynamic positioning systems. The market, which was valued at $7.15 billion in 2024, is projected to increase to $7.62 billion in 2025, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. This growth observed in the historical period is primarily due to factors like marine exploration, offshore energy industry growth, requirement for precision and safety, augmented deepwater exploration activities, and commercial shipping requirements.
What Is The Expected Growth In The Dynamic Positioning Systems Market?
The Dynamic Positioning Systems market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for dynamic positioning systems is poised for robust expansion in the upcoming years, growing to $10.66 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%.
This growth anticipated over the forecast period can be linked to the heightened activities in offshore renewable energy generation, offshore infrastructure construction, and autonomous vessels' proliferation. Other contributing factors include concentrations on environmental sustainability, maritime safeguarding, and risk reduction. Key forecasting periods trends encompass attention to operational effectiveness, ongoing research and innovative strides, market penetration into emerging economies, operational cost-effectiveness, and industry collaboration and partnerships.
What Main Forces Are Fueling Expansion In The Dynamic Positioning Systems Market?
The global surge in seaborne commerce is fuelling the expansion of the dynamic positioning systems market. Characterized by low-cost transportation of goods through the sea in sizable quantities, the seaborne trade uses containers that can be reused for road or rail transportation. The dynamic positioning system onboard ships allows them to hold their position even under poor weather conditions. The system's computer collects data from position reference sensors, providing information on the ship's location and how external factors are impacting it. The Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTD), forecasts a 2.4% growth in maritime trade by 2023, and over 2% between 2024 and 2028. However, full decarbonization by 2050 will require significant investments, potentially leading to higher maritime logistics costs. Consequently, the upswing in global seaborne trade is propelling the dynamic positioning systems market.
