Marine Parallel Hybrid Propulsion Market Report 2024

The marine parallel hybrid propulsion market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.88 billion in 2023 to $0.98 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%. The growth during the historic period was driven by a rising need for fuel efficiency, a growing emphasis on environmental sustainability in maritime transport, increased orders for marine hybrid engines, heightened demand for sustainable shipping solutions, and expanded shipbuilding activities.

The marine parallel hybrid propulsion market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.52 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period will be driven by increasing demand for eco-friendly propulsion systems, rising investments in the oil and gas sector, growing consumer and business demand, increasingly stringent global regulations addressing emissions and marine pollution, and potential long-term cost savings. Key trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in technology, developments in battery technology, a growing trend of retrofitting older vessels, the adoption of advanced digital technologies and the Internet of Things (IoT), and the uptake of environmentally friendly technologies.

The growth of the marine parallel hybrid propulsion market is anticipated to be driven by the increasing volume of maritime transportation. Maritime transportation involves the movement of goods, passengers, or cargo across seas using ships, boats, or other watercraft. This rise in maritime transportation is spurred by economic, technological, and logistical factors that support global trade and financial integration. Marine parallel hybrid propulsion systems offer a sustainable and advanced technological solution for modern maritime transport, addressing environmental concerns and meeting operational efficiency requirements in the marine sector. For example, in September 2023, UN Trade Development reported a 2.4% increase in maritime trade in 2023, with expectations of continued growth exceeding 2% from 2024 to 2028. Therefore, the expansion of maritime transportation significantly boosts the marine parallel hybrid propulsion market.

Key players in the marine parallel hybrid propulsion market are actively innovating with next-generation hybrid propulsion systems.

Marine parallel hybrid propulsion involves integrating a traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric motor in ships and boats. This setup connects both engines to the same driveline or propeller shaft, enabling them to operate simultaneously. This system enhances efficiency, lowers emissions, and offers flexibility in maritime applications.

Key components of marine parallel hybrid propulsion include a power management system, gearbox, battery, generator, internal combustion engine, electric motor, and others. Power management systems (PMS) are widely applied in marine vessels, industrial facilities, data centers, and other settings requiring efficient power management. Various types of ships such as tankers, passenger ships, container ships, fishing vessels, and yachts utilize different propulsion systems such as serial and parallel hybrids, alongside installation methods such as line fit and retrofitting. These systems cater to diverse end-users including commercial shipping, naval operations, recreational boating, and more.
