This has led to rise in investments in modernization of facilities to increase productivity and reduce budgets, manpower, as well as timelines. Currently, the market statistics are improving as a result of gradually developing technology supported by the shipping sector, followed by integration and advancement. Moreover, technology companies are making efforts and validating modernization of facilities to build and combine multiple processes for the shipping sector. For instance, in November 2022, Dassault Systèmes collaborated with Samsung Heavy Industries to develop a “smart yard” based on new digital transformation technology to establish a fully digital shipyard and a competitive edge. This technology offers planning of data from the target process (product structure, work orders, assembly sequence, scheduling, and more) in a consistent data model and compares it in real time with the actual data from production and assembly. Increase in demand for cargo ships due to increased maritime trade, rise in environmental concerns globally to lower the carbon footprint generated in the shipping industry, and rise in adoption of digital twin technology supplement the growth of the digital shipyard market. However, high cost of digitalization and training cost products and complexity associated with the systems are expected to hamper the growth of the digital shipyard market.

Executive Summary
The Digital Shipyard Market is expected to experience a significant growth rate of 19.8% from 2023-2032 owing to increasing demand of advanced built shipyards across the globe.A shipyard (also called a dockyard) is a place where ships are built and repaired. The shipbuilding companies have been focusing on the automation process over the last few years. The automation process helps to save the time taken for ship building. Meanwhile, various companies are taking initiatives to implement digitization in shipbuilding. The 'digital shipyard” is a term applied to the adoption of Industry 4.0 capabilities in designing, building, and maintaining ships and submarines as well as using this technology to monitor and maintain the associated infrastructure. It utilizes sensors and monitoring systems deployed by Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) that can communicate enormous quantities of data to an IoT device, providing an enhanced capacity for predicting and planning future maintenance. This collected data can be shared with other IoT devices in an industrial environment, collectively called the Industrial IoT, or IIoT to reduce the operational downtime.
The key factors driving the growth of the digital shipyard market are increase in demand for cargo ships due to increased maritime trade, rise in environmental concerns worldwide to lower the carbon footprint generated in the shipping industry and rise in adoption of digital twin technology which supplements the growth of the market across the globe. A rise has been witnessed in the demand for transportation of cargo through water ways as a lot of cargos are being efficiently transferred securely to the other end. Moreover, cargo ships are less expensive for shipping goods as compared to road and air transits, and more cargo can be carried from one place to another within a short span of time. As per the records of UNCTAD, approximately 1,687 million tons of cargo is transported every year in around 177.6 million containers covering 998 billion tons. The recent developments in commercial vessels and giant players’ innovation of cargo ships equipped with latest technology, such as advanced sensors, navigation system, and other components, boost the demand for the autonomous cargo ships globally. For instance, Norwegian-based Yara Birkeland planned to introduce the first autonomous cargo ship in 2020. Hence, the rise in the seaborne trade results in increase in demand for large capacity carrying ships (cargo ships) or container ships equipped with latest technologies, which is expected to foster the demand for digital shipyards, thus boosting the market growth.
The market also offers opportunistic factors to the key players operating in the market to enhance their services, which creates ample opportunities for the growth of the market across the globe. This includes factors such as rising implementation of robot technology in shipbuilding industry and increasing use of industrial internet of things (IIoT). Several IIoT and emerging technologies, such as 3D modelling, digital twin, artificial intelligence, augmented reality & virtual reality, and high-performance computing (HPC) are contributing to the rise of the digital shipyard. They can be roughly divided into three categories, such as the production or building phase; the servicing or maintenance phase; and the delivery or control phase.
The benefit of deploying these technologies in the digital shipyard is to reduce overall production time, and to improve the overall quality, reliability, and safety of the end product. For instance, in 2022, Birdon Group, an Australian Shipyard, partnered with Siemens Xcelerator portfolio to develop a digital shipyard to service both Australian and international shipbuilding customers. Hence, many major shipbuilders in the commercial and defense sectors are adopting a combination of several IIoT and emerging technologies to create a digital shipyard for the future, which is anticipated to create growth opportunities for the digital shipyard market.
The digital shipyard market is segmented on the basis of type, technology, capacity, digitalization level, and region. By type, the market is divided into military shipyards and commercial shipyards. By technology, it is fragmented into artificial intelligence & big data analytics, robotic process automation, augmented reality (AR) & virtual reality (VR), and others. By capacity, it is categorized into small shipyards, medium shipyards, and large shipyards. By digitalization level, it is fragmented into semi-digital shipyard and fully digital shipyard. By region, it is analyzed across North America (U.S., Canada and Mexico), Europe (UK< Germany, France, Italy, Greece, Norway, Denmark and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Singapore and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, Middle East and Africa).
