Marine Electric Vehicle Market by Technology (Fully electric, Hybrid), Ship Type (Commercial, Defense, UMV), Mode of Operation (Manned, Remotely Operated, Autonomous), Vessel Transport (Seafaring, Inland), Range and Region - Global Forecast to 2030



The Marine Electric Vehicle Market size is projected to grow from USD 10.1 billion in 2022 to USD 29.1 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 16.4% from 2023 to 2030. The market is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for advanced electrical systems in futuristic ships.

The Hybrid Electric segment is expected to grow the highest during the forecast period.

Based on technology, the hybrid electric segment is projected to grow the highest in Marine Electric Vehicle Market during the forecast period. Hybridizing ships with electric systems supported with fossil fuels, diesel specifically, is the best way to equip large ships and long ranges ships with low-emission systems. This is the major reason for increasing year-on-year growth.

The <50 km range is projected to lead the market during the forecast period.

Based on the range, the <50km segment is expected to lead the market during the forecast period. <50 km range ships usually contain all recreational boats, mid-sized ships, and unmanned maritime vehicles that are mostly used for low-range activities. These ships are easy to be converted to hybrid propulsion or replaced with fully electric solutions. Due to these factors, <50km range ships are leading the market.

The inland segment is projected to lead Marine Electric Vehicle Market during the forecast period.

Based on Vessel Transport, the inland segment is projected to lead the Marine Electric Vehicle Market during the forecast period. The inland vessels require a small range and usually small to medium-sized ships. These ships are easy to electrify; hence they are witnessing large growth.
