Based on type, the hybrid segment of the electric ship market is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period as compared to the fully electric segment. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the adoption of hybrid propulsion systems in cargo ships, defense ships, and passenger cruise ships due to the cost benefits of using a hybrid propulsion system. This could also be attributed to the fact that the bulk cargo traded and transported through sea routes across the globe has increased over the years, as ships are economical as compared to other means of transportation. This, in turn, has led to the growth of the global seaborne trade. For instance, 90% of the world’s trade is carried out through seaways as they offer competitive freight costs and are ideal for transporting heavy and bulky goods. Additionally, the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) new ruling on acceptable sulfur emissions on ships has made cargo ship operators retrofit some of their existing fleet with hybrid propulsion to adhere to the new decision.

Based on ship type, the commercial segment of the electric ship market is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period as compared to the defense segment. Shipbuilders and operators are moving toward automation and integration of new build ships, and retrofit the existing ships with the hybrid and electric propulsion. This is in response to adhere the IMO 2020 rule. Thus, ship integrators and owners are switching their existing diesel-driven engines with electric or hybrid propulsion. The growth of this segment can be attributed to a large number of ships available for retrofit, especially in the cargo segment. The IMO 2020 ruling affects the commercial shipping industry the most, and as such, a significant portion of the retrofit market is expected to come from the retrofitting of cargo vessels such as container vessels, gas tankers, general cargo ships, among others with electric propulsion systems.
