The global marine dynamic positioning system market size was US$ 6.30 billion in 2021. The global marine dynamic positioning system market size is forecast to reach US$ 18.6 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.55% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.
A dynamic positioning system is a computer-operated system used to control a vessel's position in the water. Dynamic positioning systems consist of a thruster system, a control system, and a power system. The positioning system contains a GPS, which monitors the vessel's position. As the vessel moves off its intended position, the DP computer begins calculating how much thrust it needs to apply to maintain its position. Furthermore, a dynamic positioning system keeps the vessel stationary and eliminates the need to rely on anchors in the vessel.
Factors Influencing Market Growth
Impact Analysis of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the global market growth. Several governments-imposed lockdowns in order to combat the spread of COVID-19. This led to the temporary closure of shipyards, resulting in a decreased demand for marine dynamic positioning systems. In addition, a reduction in trade activities and ship production also hindered market growth. In order to avoid losses during the COVID-19 pandemic, shipowners scrapped older ships due to higher fuel prices and poor market conditions.
Regional Insights
The Asia Pacific is forecast to lead the marine dynamic positioning system market over the forecast period. Due to an increase in seaborne trade in the region. As a result, in countries such as India, the government is taking steps to promote maritime tourism, which will lead to a demand for new ships equipped with the latest technologies. Therefore, the demand for dynamic positioning systems will increase. Increasing deployment of offshore patrol vessels and advances in offshore drilling technology is also contributing to market growth in the region. In addition, offshore oil and gas operations in deep ocean waters are increasing the need for dynamic positioning systems in the Asia Pacific region.
