The market for marine propulsion engines is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 3.7% from 2020 to 2027 and expected to reach the market value of around US$ 14,684.9 Mn by 2027.

Marine propulsion engine is the machine that produces thrust to push the marine vehicles forward. Along with the advancement in technology and global transportation, the present era has several innovative propulsion engines with which a vessel can be fitted with. Moreover, this propulsion engine not only helps in the successful movement of the ship in the water, instead the use of the propulsion engine ensures a better safety standard for the marine ecosystem along with cost-efficiency.

Market Dynamics

The increasing international trade and emergence of developing economies in shipbuilding and related activities is accelerating the market value. The several advantages associated with the marine vessels for transportation of commercial goods like reduced emission of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen oxides are supporting the market growth. The ships are considered as a safer option in terms of encountering major accidents when compared with trucks and trains are minimal, this leads to the increasing demand in the global market. The rising demand for commercial shipping due to its importance in seaborne trade is further propelling the market value.

On the other side, the stringent environmental and transportation norms are projected to limit the growth to an extent over the estimated period from 2020 to 2027.

Diesel Propulsion accounted for the maximum share in the global Marine Propulsion Engines market

Diesel Propulsion is the leading segment by a power source in the marine propulsion engines market due to its flexibility in usage that includes all types of vessels along with small and recreational boats. The power source is also projected to maintain its dominance over the estimated timeframe from 2020 to 2027. 

Asia Pacific accounted for the maximum revenue share in the Marine Propulsion Engines Market
