Key Trends in the Market

A ship funnel, also known as a stack, refers to the component of the ship which acts like an exhaust and is used to remove boiler, engine exhaust, or smoke. This component of ships is located at the top and expels ship fumes and discharges in such a way that they remain away from the ship.

• Ship funnels are integral components of ships which remove the outflow of fumes and smoke generated within the vessel to prevent it from reaching crew or passengers. Hence, as the sales of industrial and service vessels increase, the global ship funnel market share is expected to witness an upward trajectory.
• The increasing demand and deployment of cruise ships, owing to the increasing inclination towards recreational activities, their popularity as an enjoyable family vacation, reducing costs, and excellent services, is likely to aid the market in the forecast period.
• Growing research and development and innovations by the major vessel manufacturers, aimed towards improving the life and efficiency of ships are crucial ship funnel market trends. In addition, the growing need to enhance the quality of transatlantic maritime travel are further bolstering the sale of ships.
• The anticipated increase in trading of chemicals, agro-products, industrial equipment, food and beverage, and construction materials, among others, is projected to fuel the demand for ships and ship funnels.
• According to the ship funnel market report, the increasing size of ships are also influencing the market for ship funnels. Larger ships have greater dependency on ship funnels to safely redirect and expel fumes generated within the ship. In larger ships, more engine power is often required, resulting in the production of increased fumes that need to be safely dispelled.
