Based on application, the market is segmented into cruise-ships, ferries, yachts and others. The cruise-ships segment is anticipated to cross USD 740 million by 2034. Increasing cruise lines' scrutiny for their environmental impact will uplift SCR systems adoption to reduce harmful emissions and align with industry-wide sustainability initiatives and commitments to achieving net-zero emissions in the coming decades.
Rising demand for green cruising by travelers coupled with ongoing efforts by operators to improve their market position, enhance customer appeal, and maintain competitiveness in a rapidly evolving market will bolster the industry statistics. Furthermore, many cruise ships sail through ecologically fragile areas, such as polar regions, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and marine parks, where strict emission controls are enforced, leading to fueling the product demand to ensure compliance, allowing ships to maintain itineraries in these high-demand regions.
The U.S. recreational marine selective catalytic reduction systems market is anticipated to reach USD 125 million by 2034. Rising stringent emission standards imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including Tier III regulations for marine engines, will drive the product penetration. Increasing demand for eco-friendly recreational activities will encourage ship operators to adopt green technologies thereby boosting the product growth. Additionally, growing demand for systems to enable compliance with emission restrictions in protected regions such as the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and Alaska’s coastal zones will complement the business landscape.
In Asia Pacific, thriving marine tourism sector, particularly in regions such as Indonesia, Thailand, and the Maldives, will drive the demand for greener recreational ships. Growing awareness about the environmental impact of maritime activities in ecologically sensitive zones, such as the Great Barrier Reef and Southeast Asia’s coral triangle, necessitates the adoption of low-emission technologies, driving the product penetration.
