Marine Onboard Communication and Control Systems Market was valued at USD 7.1 billion in 2023 and is estimated to register a CAGR of over 6.5% between 2024 and 2032. The industry is anticipated to expand with the surge in global maritime trade and the growing smart fleet management system. The increased demand for efficient communication and control solutions arises from the need to manage & optimize navigation, propulsion, and other onboard operations. This is fostering the integration of advanced systems to meet the demands of a dynamic and expanding maritime industry.
In 2023, Liberia possessed the world's largest maritime fleet, totaling 378.98 million, as reported by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). Panama and Marshall Islands possessed fleets totaling 365.68 million and 299,80 million, respectively.
The increasing advancements in satellite communications are driving the business growth. Enhanced satellite technologies provide reliable & high-speed connectivity, facilitating seamless data exchange, real-time monitoring, and improved operational efficiency. For instance, in April 2023, the National University of Singapore's College of Design and Engineering (NUS) and Satellite Technology and Research Center (STAR) in Singapore collaboratively developed the Lumelite-4 microsatellite that utilizes NUS' modular satellite bus system and STAR's experimental satellite-based communication hardware. This collaborative effort aimed to pioneer a high-performance VHF Data Exchange System (VDES), enhancing maritime communications.
