Asia Pacific Offshore Marine Scrubber Systems Market - By Fuel (MDO, MGO, Hybrid and Others), By Technology (Wet Technology and Dry Technology), By Application (AHTS, PSV, FSV, MPSV and Others) & Forecast, 2024 – 2032

Asia Pacific Offshore Marine Scrubber Systems Market Size

Asia Pacific Offshore Marine Scrubber Systems Market was valued USD 792.7 million in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% between 2024 and 2032. These are specialized pollution control devices installed on ships and vessels operating in offshore environments to reduce emissions of harmful pollutants, particularly sulfur oxides (SOx), from marine diesel engines. These scrubber systems remove sulfur compounds and other pollutants from exhaust gases before they are discharged into the environment by using a variety of methods, including wet scrubbing or dry sorbent injection.
 

Rising implementation of stringent environmental regulations including MARPOL Annex VI, which sets limits on sulfur emissions from ships, compels vessel operators to invest in the market to ensure compliance and avoid hefty fines. Growing concerns about air pollution, ocean acidification, and climate change are prompting maritime stakeholders to adopt cleaner technologies to reduce emissions of harmful pollutants thereby escalating the market prospects. Additionally, rising maritime trade and shipping activities in the region are driving demand for these systems to equip vessels with emission abatement technologies and ensure compliance with environmental regulations while maintaining operational efficiency.
 

Rising focus on the adoption of hybrid scrubber systems combines both open-loop and closed-loop configurations, offering greater flexibility and efficiency in emissions abatement will create positive market growth conditions for the system. Growing adoption of digital technologies including advanced sensors, data analytics, and predictive maintenance algorithms to monitor scrubber performance in real time, optimize operations, and enhance efficiency will stimulate product adoption in the forecast period.
 

Asia Pacific Offshore Marine Scrubber Systems Market Trends

Growing adoption of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel in the region has raised the demand for exhaust gas cleaning systems designed for LNG fueled vessels thereby giving opportunities to manufacturers, fueling the business expansion. Rising adoption of modular and compact designs to optimize space utilization on board vessels, especially in constrained offshore environments, while still ensuring effective emissions abatement will drive the business scenario.
 

Asia Pacific Offshore Marine Scrubber Systems Market Analysis

Based on technology, market is segmented into wet technology and dry technology. Wet technology is anticipated to grow by over USD 1.45 billion by 2032. Rising demand for highly effective technology for reducing SOx emissions from ship exhaust gases, enabling vessel operators to comply with stringent sulfur emissions regulations will propel the product adoption. Additionally, their versatility and adaptability to various vessel types, sizes, and operating conditions in the offshore marine environment make them a preferred choice for vessel operators, thereby expanding their market presence.
 

Based on application Asia Pacific offshore marine scrubber systems market is segmented into AHTS, PSV, FSV, MPSV and Others. FSV are set to grow at a CAGR of over 9.1% through 2032. Rising demand for scrubbers offering flexibility and adaptability to dynamic operating conditions including coastal waters, offshore oil fields, or international shipping lanes will boost their adoption. Rising pressure on the operators from insurers and risk management agencies to mitigate environmental risks associated with emissions from vessel operations will give incremental growth opportunities for the market development.
 

Japan offshore marine scrubber systems market is anticipated to grow by more than USD 552 million by 2032. Strong emphasis on energy efficiency and emissions reduction in its maritime policies and strategies will boost the adoption of systems aligned with goals of promoting sustainable maritime transportation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Growing public pressure on maritime stakeholders, including shipowners, operators, and regulatory authorities, to take proactive measures to reduce emissions and minimize environmental impact will further add to the growth trajectory.
 

Rising stringent environmental regulations including the Clean Air Act and the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Vessel General Permit (VGP) in the U.S. is driving product adoption. Additionally, rising demand for systems with greater flexibility in fuel sourcing and can continue to operate using a wide range of fuel types, mitigating the risk of supply chain disruptions and ensuring operational continuity will drive the business landscape.

Asia Pacific Offshore Marine Scrubber Systems Industry News:

• In March 2023, Wartsila has secured its first order for CCS Ready scrubber systems, with delivery expected in 2023. The order, booked in November 2022, involves fitting four 8,200 TEU container vessels being built at an Asian-based yard. Wartsila's CCS-Ready scrubbers are designed to facilitate future retrofitting for full CCS systems, with additional engineering work to accommodate this during construction.
   
• In November 2020, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has installed DIA-SOx marine SOx scrubbers on 22 ships of 3 types. Despite COVID-19 challenges, installations were completed as planned through remote commissioning with local partners in China and Singapore. The company will expand its offerings beyond marine scrubbers to provide comprehensive engineering services for scrubber installation, catering to both retrofitting and newbuild projects, regardless of the ship's manufacturer.
