Global Electric Ships Market by Type (Fully Electric, Hybrid), System (Energy Storage Systems, Power Conversion, Power Distribution), Mode of Operation, Ship Type, Power, End-Use - Forecast 2024-2030

The Electric Ships Market size was estimated at USD 12.37 billion in 2023, USD 14.14 billion in 2024, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.13% to reach USD 33.18 billion by 2030.

Electric ships are primarily ferries and small passenger ships on inland waterways that sail entirely with electricity and travel only short distances, approximately 80 km, on a single charge. Electric ships use a battery financial institution to supply electricity to force electric-powered motors. Various batteries are utilized in an electric-powered delivery, including lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries, and gas cells. Increasing demand for hybrid and electric propulsion for retrofitting ships and the emerging maritime tourism industry worldwide raised the adoption of electric ships. However, concerns associated with limited range and capacity and lack of charging infrastructure impede the utilization of electric ships. In addition, ongoing technological advances and innovations are expected to create robust opportunities for the development of electric ships.

Regional Insights

In the Americas, governments in various nations, such as Mexico and Brazil, are heavily investing in developing advanced technology for the marine sector to enhance the adoption of electric ships. The 2030 Green Ship-K Promotion Strategy is relevant to South Korea’s plans to gain carbon neutrality through 2050, particularly goals for developing and wider use of low-carbon delivery technology consisting of hydrogen gasoline cells and propulsion systems. The initiative intends to decrease the country’s transport greenhouse fuel line emissions by 40% within 25 years and 70% by 2050. Countries together with Norway, Finland, and Denmark have actively begun changing traditional passenger ferries with completely electric-powered passenger ferries. Major traits in self-sustaining electric-powered ships that use gas cells and remotely managed electric-powered ships are using the marketplace to develop further in Europe. The United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Italy opt for key technologies supporting port automation and digitalization, including the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), unmanned vehicles, equipment, and blockchain are expected to drive the market growth in the European region.
