By Product Type
"Natural gas segment is estimated to witness a CAGR of >2% during the forecast period"
Based on the product type, the market is segmented as diesel, wind & solar, gas turbine, fuel cell, steam turbine, natural gas, and others. The natural gas segment is estimated to witness a CAGR of >2% during the forecast period. Factors such as increasing environmental awareness to obtain sustainability accompanied by an increase in retrofitting of existing vessels with the motive of installing green engines, and decreased emission of carbon along with competitive pricing of commercially viable regions are expected to have a positive impact on installing products in the market during the forecast period.
By Power Type
"The 1,001-5,000 HP segment is estimated to remain the dominant power type in the market over the forecast period"
Based on the power type, the market is segmented as <1,000 HP, 1,001-5,000 HP, 5,001-10,000 HP, 10,001-20,000 HP, and >20,000 HP. The 1,001-5,000 HP segment is estimated to remain the dominant power type in the market over the forecast period. The growth of the segment is attributed to the increase in demand from containerships, cruise ships, and other offshore service vehicles. Factors such as ongoing investments in the marine industry estimated to be diverted in the direction of bringing international trade back on track, after realizing the impact of COVID-19 impact, and an increase in installation in the defense vessels accompanied by various countries looking forward to strengthening their maritime security are expected to boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.
By Technology Type
"Low-speed technology is estimated to account for the largest share of the market during the forecast period"
The market is segmented as low speed, medium speed, and high speed based on the technology type. The low-speed technology is estimated to account for the largest share of the market during the forecast period, owing to the high thermal efficiency and wide application base.
By Propulsion Type
Based on the propulsion type, the market is segmented as 2-stroke and 4-stroke. These engines can be utilized in various vessels of deep-sea ships including bulk carriers, tankers, container and cargo ships, owing to the output as steady propulsion. These units accompanied by two-stroke diesel engines are the major movers of merchant ships as the two-stroke cycle maximizes the power-to-weight ratio at the minimum engine size, thus, complementing the size of the marine propulsion systems market during the forecast period.
By Application Type
