Offshore Marine Scrubber Systems Market Size - 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

Offshore Marine Scrubber Systems Market Size

Offshore Marine Scrubber Systems Market size was valued at USD 1.4 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 9.8% between 2024 and 2032. These are emission control devices installed on marine vessels operating in offshore environments including oil rigs, drilling platforms, support vessels, and offshore wind farms. These systems are designed to reduce harmful pollutants, and particulate matter, from the exhaust gases generated by ship engines.
 

Stringent environmental regulations imposed by international bodies to reduce harmful emissions from marine vessels, will boost the product penetration. Growing awareness about the adverse health effects of air pollution, both on crew members and coastal communities will incentivize shipowners to invest in scrubber technologies to reduce emissions of pollutants. Further, the cost-effectiveness of scrubber systems in comparison to alternative compliance methods, including switching to low-sulfur fuel, will enhance the business landscape.

Offshore Marine Scrubber Systems Market Trends

Technological advancements to enhance scrubber efficiency, reliability, and environmental performance through the integration of advanced materials, automation, and monitoring systems will augment the business landscape. Growing emphasis on sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) will have a positive influence on purchasing decisions across the maritime industry. Further, expansion of offshore wind energy projects and oil and gas exploration activities will create opportunities for business growth.
 

Offshore Marine Scrubber Systems Market Analysis

Based on technology, the market is segmented into wet and dry technology. The wet technology segment is set to surpass USD 2.9 billion by 2032. These systems are highly effective in removing sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter from exhaust gases to efficiently enable vessels to comply with stringent emissions regulations imposed by international bodies thereby boosting product growth. It offers versatility and adaptability, allowing systems to be customized to suit the specific requirements of different vessel types and operational conditions. Additionally, this property ensures optimal pollutant capture and treatment across a wide range of marine applications, thereby positively influencing the product demand.
 

Based on application, the offshore marine scrubber systems market is segmented into AHTS, PSV, FSV, MPSV and Others. The FSV segment is poised to expand at a CAGR of over 11.6% through 2032, on account of increasing deployment and their pivotal role in supporting offshore oil and gas operations, offshore wind farms, and other maritime activities.
 

Growing demand for FSVs owing to expanding offshore energy sector, including oil and gas exploration and production activities, as well as the rapid development of wind energy projects will accelerate the scrubber industry growth. Increasing regulatory pressure to reduce emissions and comply with stringent environmental regulations, shipowners and operators will propel these scrubber demands across the FSV application.
 

Asia-Pacific offshore marine scrubber systems market is anticipated to cross USD 1.7 billion by 2032. Booming maritime industry fueled by robust trade volumes, increasing seaborne transportation, and growing offshore energy exploration and production activities will accelerate product adoption. Furthermore, rising focus on sustainable development and green initiatives will drive investment in cleaner and more environmentally friendly maritime technologies, including scrubber systems.

Offshore Marine Scrubber Systems Industry News

• In March 2022, Wärtsilä secured a contract to supply its exhaust gas cleaning systems to Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) in China for installation on two new 218-meter roll-on/roll-off passenger ships (RoPax). Each vessel will feature two 25-megawatt V-SOx based on hybrid scrubber technology as part of the agreement. This contract highlights Wärtsilä's commitment to the Asia-Pacific region, where it maintains regional resources to offer sales, support, and lifecycle services.
   
• In December 2019, Keppel Offshore & Marine Ltd. (Keppel O&M) has secured 104 retrofit orders for scrubbers and ballast water treatment systems (BWTS) for a total estimated value of S$160 million. With this, 108 scrubber and around 97 BWTS projects have been secured as total retrofit projects. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) 2020 regulation, which caps the sulphur content of marine fuel at 0.5%, is the driving force behind the increased demand.
