Maritime Emission Trading System (ETS) Compliance Platform Global Market Report 2025

The maritime emission trading system (ETS) compliance platform market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.37 billion in 2024 to $0.42 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increased regulatory pressure to reduce emissions, heightened awareness of climate change, the expansion of international trade, greater adoption of digital technologies, and rising government incentives promoting low-emission operations.

The maritime emission trading system (ETS) compliance platform market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.7 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6%. Growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by the increasing adoption of alternative fuels, a stronger focus on environmental sustainability, a rising need for real-time carbon emissions reporting, a growing shift toward cloud-based solutions, and continued expansion in international trade volumes. Key trends anticipated during this period include advancements in AI-powered emissions monitoring, integration of cloud-based compliance platforms, technological progress in predictive analytics for maritime emissions, innovations in IoT-enabled fuel tracking, and the development of blockchain-based systems for regulatory reporting.

Increasing investments in green shipping infrastructure are anticipated to drive the growth of the maritime emission trading system (ETS) compliance platform market in the coming years. Green shipping infrastructure investments involve allocating funds toward eco-friendly ports, vessels, and technologies that aim to reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency in maritime transportation. These investments are on the rise as more stringent environmental regulations compel the maritime sector to adopt cleaner and more efficient technologies. Green shipping infrastructure supports maritime ETS compliance platforms by cutting vessel emissions, reducing compliance expenses, and ensuring accurate carbon performance reporting. For example, in September 2025, according to the Department for Transport, a UK-based government entity, funding set to be announced during the first day of London International Shipping Week includes $939.38 million (£700 million) in private sector investment for major UK ports and industry leaders, along with $601.25 million (£448 million) in public investment aimed at reducing emissions from UK shipping. Thus, the rising investments in green shipping infrastructure are contributing to the expansion of the maritime emission trading system (ETS) compliance platform market.

Leading companies in the maritime emission trading system (ETS) compliance platform market are concentrating on developing advanced technological solutions, such as artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled ETS compliance tools, to strengthen regulatory compliance, improve emissions management, and boost operational efficiency. AI-powered ETS compliance tools are software systems that apply artificial intelligence to monitor, evaluate, and optimize ship emissions to meet regulatory requirements. For instance, in March 2024, Bearing AI, a US-based provider of AI solutions for the maritime industry, introduced an updated version of its fleet deployment optimizer (FDO) tool aimed at assisting shipping firms in complying with the European Union emissions trading system (EU ETS). This upgraded tool delivers AI-based forecasting and simulations of a vessel’s EU ETS obligations by estimating the necessary EU Allowances (EUAs) for specific voyages or for the vessel’s deployment throughout the year. It enables users to upload ship schedules and obtain advance estimates of emissions costs, supports the modeling of alternative deployment plans for cost-effective and eco-friendly scheduling, and offers real-time EUA projections alongside emissions data and the vessel’s Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) rating.

In May 2023, Zero44 GmbH, a Germany-based provider of emissions management software, formed a partnership with Mariapps Marine Solutions to deliver emission trading system (ETS) compliance. This partnership seeks to create a fully integrated digital solution that helps shipping companies efficiently adhere to the European Union's Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). The solution combines MariApps' all-encompassing maritime management software with Zero44's expertise in emissions and carbon allowance trading to streamline compliance reporting, stakeholder engagement, and cost control in the maritime industry. Mariapps Marine Solutions is a Singapore-based digital technology company that provides a maritime ETS compliance platform.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The swift increase in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the transport services sector by driving up costs for vehicles, spare parts, and fuel, key inputs often sourced from tariff-affected regions. Freight operators, logistics providers, and public transportation systems are facing squeezed profit margins as higher equipment and maintenance costs coincide with limited ability to pass on these expenses to customers due to competitive pressures. The uncertainty has also delayed fleet modernization and the adoption of greener, more efficient vehicles, slowing progress toward sustainability goals. To adapt, transport firms are optimizing route planning, investing in fuel efficiency technologies, renegotiating supplier contracts, and exploring collaborative logistics models to share costs and mitigate the impact of higher tariffs.
