An autonomous ship means navigating a ship without human input from passengers using sensing equipment (LIDAR), environmental sensitive control equipment, and navigation equipment. The autonomy in the autonomous ship market is fully autonomous, remote operations, and partial autonomous. Partial autonomous ships refer to the ships that are safer than the others and are operated by artificial intelligence, which helps to avoid droning of the ship. The propulsion types involved are fully electric or hybrid. The various fuel types involved are carbon-neutral fuels, LNG, electricity, and heavy fuel oil/marine engine fuel. The end-users involved are commercial and defense. The autonomous ships market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides autonomous ship market statistics, including global market size, regional shares, competitors with an autonomous ship market share, detailed autonomous ship market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the autonomous ship industry. This autonomous ship market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry. The global autonomous ships market size will grow from $6.88 billion in 2022 to $7.34 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global autonomous ships market size is expected to grow to $9.47 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.6%. Increasing marine accidents caused by human errors lead to high financial losses, which are predicted to act as a major driver for the growth of the autonomous ship market. Unmanned ships or autonomous technology apprehend accidents attributed to human errors and contribute to the higher potential of reducing onboard accidents. According to a 2021 report published by the Insurance Information Institute, a US industry association which exists to improve public understanding of insurance, in 2020, 49 large ships were completely lost, which is essentially unchanged from 48 in 2019. Therefore, the use of autonomous ships to reduce the increasing number of accidents due to human error and financial losses is expected to drive the demand for autonomous ships over the next few years. The increasing threat of cybersecurity and privacy is expected to limit the growth of the autonomous ship market during the forecast period. The advancements in technology and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), mobility systems, and the internet of things (IoT) are creating higher chances of cybersecurity and data threats, which is a major challenge for the autonomous ship industry. According to the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)’s journal on cybersecurity of the autonomous ship, cybersecurity is a serious issue for autonomous ships, regardless of the form and level of autonomy of the ship, owing to their increased dependence on ICT for controlling the ship, accessibility of systems to the internet, and increased connectivity of the ship’s control system to onshore monitoring systems. Thus, the rising threat of cybersecurity and privacy is predicted to act as a major factor restraining the autonomous ship market over the forthcoming years. Major companies are undertaking various strategic initiatives like the development of fully autonomous ships, which is likely to be a major trend driving the growth of the autonomous ship industry. For instance, according to Offshore Energy news published in September 2021, UK engineering company Rolls-Royce and Sea Machines Robotics, the USA-based startup developing autonomous ship solutions, have started a new collaboration that will deliver comprehensive remote command, autonomous control, and intelligent crew support systems to the marine market.
