According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global VHF Survival Craft Transceivers market size was valued at US$ million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD million by 2031 with a CAGR of %during review period.
Very high frequency (VHF) survival craft transceivers (SCTs) are lightweight, portable, two-way, handheld VHF transceivers capable of radiotelephone on-scene communication between rescue units and the survival craft. Essentially these are hand-held VHF radios that are used in any survival craft, such as a life boat or life raft. SCTs with re-chargeable type batteries may be used for on-board communications as well.
VHF Survival Craft Transceivers market driver as below:
Maritime Safety Regulations: Maritime regulations, such as those set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), require ships and vessels to be equipped with survival craft communication equipment, including VHF survival craft transceivers. Compliance with these regulations drives the demand for these transceivers.
Search and Rescue Operations: VHF survival craft transceivers are vital tools in search and rescue (SAR) operations. They allow survivors to communicate their location and distress signals to nearby vessels and rescuers, enhancing the chances of successful rescues.
Shipbuilding and Marine Industry Growth: The growth of the global shipbuilding and marine industry directly impacts the demand for survival craft communication equipment. As more vessels are built, there is an increased need for compliant and reliable transceivers.
Marine Accidents and Safety Awareness: High-profile marine accidents, such as shipwrecks and collisions, highlight the importance of safety equipment on board vessels. This awareness prompts maritime stakeholders to invest in advanced communication tools like VHF survival craft transceivers.
Piracy and Security Concerns: In regions with piracy or security threats, vessels may need to deploy survival craft as a safety measure. VHF survival craft transceivers help maintain communication in these situations and ensure the safety of crew members.
International Trade and Shipping: The shipping industry facilitates global trade, and vessels of various types need to be equipped with safety equipment, including VHF survival craft transceivers, to comply with international regulations.
Fishing and Offshore Industries: VHF survival craft transceivers are used not only in large commercial vessels but also in smaller craft, such as fishing boats and offshore installations, to ensure communication during emergencies.
Arctic and Remote Area Exploration: In remote and challenging maritime environments, such as the Arctic, reliable communication is essential for safety. VHF survival craft transceivers can be crucial for maintaining communication in such regions.
Technological Advancements: Advancements in transceiver technology lead to improved reliability, range, and functionality of VHF survival craft transceivers. This can drive replacements and upgrades in the market.
Rising Demand for Safety Equipment: Increasing emphasis on crew and passenger safety in the maritime industry encourages the adoption of safety equipment, including communication devices like VHF survival craft transceivers.
Compliance with SOLAS Requirements: The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) mandates the presence of certain safety equipment on vessels. VHF survival craft transceivers are required to comply with these regulations.
Globalization of Shipping Routes: The globalization of shipping routes means vessels traverse a wide range of waters and regions. Survival craft communication tools ensure effective communication regardless of the vessel"s location.
Government Initiatives: Maritime regulatory agencies and governments may promote the adoption of safety equipment through campaigns, incentives, or requirements, contributing to the demand for VHF survival craft transceivers.
Renewal and Modernization: As vessels undergo renewal and modernization efforts, equipping them with the latest safety and communication technology becomes a priority, including VHF survival craft transceivers.
