Based on fuel, the MDO segment is anticipated to reach more than USD 2.5 billion by 2034, due to their compatibility with both open-loop and hybrid scrubber systems. Increasing demand for fuel having lower sulfur content to meet stringent emissions standards will bolster MDO adoption. Additionally, its widespread availability and suitability for use in both existing and newly built ships will make it an appealing option for retrofitting scrubber systems. MDO cleaner-burning properties align well with scrubber technology, making it a preferred choice for ship owners looking to upgrade their emissions control systems without extensive modifications leading to industry expansion
Based on technology, the wet technology is set to grow at a CAGR of over 9.4% through 2034, on account of their high efficiency in removing sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter from exhaust emissions, helping vessels meet strict international emissions regulations and supporting the product growth. Increasing demand for versatile system that can be tailored to meet the unique needs of various vessel types and operating conditions will improve technology adoption, contributing to a positive growth outlook.
The U.S. recreational marine scrubber systems market is projected to surpass USD 600 million by 2034. Growing enforcement of stringent emission standards under organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is set to influence the product growth. Expanding recreational boating industry coupled with growing preference for eco-friendly vessels, drives the need for emissions-reducing technologies such as marine scrubbers to meet consumer and regulatory expectations.
In Asia Pacific growing focus of the region on reducing air pollution from marine vessels due to rising environmental concerns and international agreements, such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations will uplift the product penetration. Rising implementation of stricter emission control measures by countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea will encourage recreational boat owners to adopt scrubber systems to meet compliance and reduce sulfur oxide (SOx) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Growing coastal tourism and recreational boating in countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and Australia will drive the demand for cleaner and more sustainable marine technologies.
