Shipbuilding Anti-Vibration Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Product Type (Mounts, Bearing Pads, Bellows and Other Product Types), Function Type (Engine Vibration, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Vibration and Function Types), Material (Elastomer, Plastic and Other Materials), Application and By GeographyAccording to Stratistics MRC, the Global Shipbuilding Anti-Vibration Market is accounted for $1029.8 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $1708.5 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period. Shipbuilding Anti-Vibration is a product designed primarily to eliminate unwanted vibration and noise in the shipbuilding industry. The increased usage of shipbuilding anti-vibration in applications such as container ships, fishing boats, motorboats, bulk carriers, and many others is fueling global market demand.
According to the International Chamber of Shipping (UK), approximately 90% of the global volume of merchandise trade is transported by sea because transporting goods and raw materials by sea is much more cost effective than rail and road transport.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increasing demand for lavish lifestyles and rising consumer expenditure
A significant component of the demand for anti-vibration technologies in shipbuilding is the rising demand for comfortable ships. The passenger ship market is predicted to increase at a faster rate than the shipbuilding anti-vibration market due to the expanding tourist sector and rising demand for opulent lifestyles. Sailing boats are a low-impact and more environmentally friendly way to explore coastal areas than driving around, taking a cruise, or taking a ferry to different islands. The worldwide epidemic has caused a drop in yacht ownership, but the market for such vacation goods has remained stable, changing the demographics of yachters to younger, less experienced customers who choose to rent boats rather than own them.
Restraint:
Cost-raising structural factors in marine transportation
As marine transportation involves complex logistical operations and adherence to stringent safety regulations, shipbuilders must incorporate advanced anti-vibration technologies to meet these requirements. The high costs associated with research, development, and implementation of such specialized solutions can pose a challenge. Additionally, the lengthy shipbuilding process and the need for extensive testing further elevate expenses. As a result, cost-conscious ship owners may hesitate to invest in anti-vibration technologies, limiting the market's growth.
Opportunity:
Expansion of internet trade and e-commerce
As global connectivity grows, shipbuilders and anti-vibration technology providers can reach a broader customer base through online platforms. E-commerce allows for efficient marketing, sales, and distribution of anti-vibration products worldwide, making it easier to cater to the diverse needs of shipbuilding companies globally. Additionally, digital communication facilitates collaboration and information sharing between manufacturers and customers, enabling faster feedback and product improvement. Embracing internet trade and e-commerce can lead to increased market penetration, enhanced customer engagement, and overall business growth in the shipbuilding anti-vibration market.
Threat:
High maintenance costs and a high replacement rate
In order to maintain the efficiency of the specific anti-vibration technology employed in ships, constant and costly maintenance is required. Additionally, these components are vulnerable to wear and tear because of the hostile marine climate, which results in a greater replacement rate. These elements raise operating costs and can discourage potential consumers from purchasing anti-vibration products. To overcome these obstacles and remain competitive in the market, producers must concentrate on creating more robust and economical technologies.
Covid-19 Impact:
Due to supply chain interruptions that affected demand, COVID-19 had an adverse impact on the global economy and the shipping sector. The pandemic caused a drop in maritime shipping and other marine operations, which caused the shipbuilding anti-vibration business to collapse. A never-before-seen degree of effect was felt on supply chains, tourism, and international trade. The impact started to lessen and the volumes began to increase for both containerized commerce and dry bulk commodities after the third quarter of 2021. Despite the fact that the pandemic severely disrupted the economy and the sector, it also opened up new prospects for the industry due to a positive trend in e-commerce trade.
The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) vibration segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are required for ensuring the highest levels of comfort and efficiency on board ships, in regard to the Shipbuilding Anti-Vibration Market and expected to hold a significant share. These systems are intended to control the interior of the ship's temperature, humidity, and air quality, providing a comfortable atmosphere for crew members and delicate equipment. Additionally, HVAC systems help to reduce vibrations, which is important for lowering structural fatigue and improving the vessel's general stability. HVAC systems possess an integral part in the success and efficiency of shipbuilding projects by successfully reducing vibrations and maintaining a pleasant atmosphere, guaranteeing secure and efficient operations at sea.
The bearing pads segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
During the anticipated period, the bearing pads segment is expected to increase at the most effective rate. The market segment's expansion is mostly due to its extensive use in a variety of applications, including OEM engines, auxiliary systems, marine propulsion systems, and gas turbine exhausts in the shipbuilding industry. Additionally, throughout the anticipated period, acceptance and demand are projected to be significantly fueled by the capacity to employ pads to handle severe loads and the increasing penetration of these sorts of products worldwide.
Region with largest share:
During the forecast period, it is expected that the North American Shipbuilding Anti-Vibration market will continue to hold a majority of the market share. With a focus on sustainability and safety, shipbuilders in the region emphasize integrating anti-vibration solutions to meet stringent regulations and enhance vessel performance. The demand for modern and eco-friendly ships drives the adoption of innovative vibration damping technologies, creating opportunities for both established players and emerging companies. Additionally, North America's strong research and development capabilities facilitate continuous advancements in anti-vibration systems, ensuring a competitive edge in the global shipbuilding market.
Region with highest CAGR:
Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, the region's prominent shipbuilding countries, like South Korea, China, and Japan, invest heavily in anti-vibration technologies to comply with international standards and improve ship performance. As economic growth fosters trade and marine transportation, there is a rising need for advanced anti-vibration solutions to ensure crew comfort and cargo safety. Moreover, the availability of skilled labor and favorable government policies encourage innovation and the manufacturing of cutting-edge anti-vibration systems, solidifying Asia Pacific's pivotal role in the global market.
