The Global Market for Big Data Technologies and Services is Projected to Reach $60 Billion by 2022

The global market for Marine Gensets is projected to reach US$6.3 billion by 2025 driven by the healthy growth outlook for shipbuilding, repairs, overhaul and maintenance. Macro factors supporting these opportunities include steady expansion in seaborne trade volume; stable spending on tourism/commercial voyages and the resulting increased demand for recreational vessels.  The encouraging outlook for sea trade comes despite the threat of trade wars, protectionist trade policies, and increasing regulations such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) 2020. Trade patterns will be supported by new trends such as digitalization which will redefine the geography of trade flow. Artificial intelligence, big data, Internet of Things (IoT), automation, blockchain will transform supply chains and create new business opportunities. Digitalization of port and shipping services will reduce cost of maritime transport and will help increase volume of traded commodities via sea. IoT and integrated communications and better visibility of shipments at any given point in time will increase reliability of container transport services. Dry bulk commodities are expected to witness the highest growth in seaborne trade, along with coal as alternative markets open up such as in Vietnam to counter balance falling Chinese imports.  IMO 2020, although will push up the cost of maritime transport, it will also help encourage fleet demolitions and fleet expansion, modernization and upgrades. Owners of inefficient vessels will face the necessity to scrap their ships and upgrade to newer energy efficient fleet to ensure conformance to the regulations. This will push up orders for new generation ships, positively influencing demand for shipbuilding components including power and propulsion systems. Read More…
