Based on fuel, the MDO is anticipated to reach USD 3.4 billion by 2032, on account of its lower sulfur content, leading to reduced SOx emissions that are crucial in designated Emission Control Areas (ECAs), where strict sulfur limits are enforced to minimize air pollution and its associated health impacts. Rising adoption of fuel, offering compatibility with existing marine engines and requiring minimal modifications are supporting the business statistics. Furthermore, MDO provides better combustion efficiency and generates less particulate matter (PM) compared to HFO leading to more efficient engine operation, reduced maintenance costs, and lower emissions of PM and black carbon thereby fostering the industry landscape.
Based on technology, the scrubber segment is set to grow at a CAGR of over 9.9% through 2032. Increasing demand for technology offering reduced SOx emissions and can also capture particulate matter (PM) and other harmful pollutants, contributing to improved air quality, thereby impacting business growth. Furthermore, their operational flexibility by allowing vessels to switch between different types of fuels depending on availability and cost, particularly beneficial in regions where compliant fuels are scarce or expensive are additional factors encouraging technology adoption.
Europe offshore marine emission control systems market is anticipated to grow over USD 1.1 Billion by 2032. Rising implementation of stringent regulatory standards aimed at reducing air pollution from maritime activities coupled with rising environmental awareness and sustainability initiatives such as the European Green Deal, are driving the market growth. Presence of key players and research institutions in countries like Germany, the Netherlands, and Norway and their rising investment in developing advanced scrubber technologies, hybrid solutions, and integrated systems are strengthening the product adoption.
In the U.S. rising government inclination towards prioritization of energy security and domestic energy production through policies that promote the use of cleaner fuels and technologies in maritime transportation is primarily influencing the business growth. Rising collaboration between industry stakeholders, including MECS manufacturers, shipbuilders, and research institutions to drive innovation and standardization in MECS technologies are additionally boosting the product demand.
