[183 Pages Report] The Ship Communication Equipment Market size was estimated at USD 10.46 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 11.58 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 11.88% to reach USD 22.96 billion by 2030.

Ship communication equipment is utilized for communication purposes on ships and vessels which are crucial for maintaining communication with other ships, shore-based facilities, and maritime authorities. Ships often use satellite communication systems for long-range voice and data communication, including email, internet access, and voice calls. These systems rely on satellites to connect with other ships and shore stations or provide global coverage. Very high frequency (VHF) radios are commonly used for short-range ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore communication and operate in the frequency range of 156 to 174 MHz and are used for routine voice communication, distress calls, and navigational safety information. The rising adoption of cellular and connected satellite communication technology and the increasing need for appropriate communication for the safe navigation of ships is boosting the utilization of ship communication equipment. However, the huge capital requirement for adequate communication infrastructure and security and privacy issues significantly impedes the adoption of ship communication equipment. In addition, emerging innovative maritime communications technologies and the adoption of IoT platforms for effective ship communication are expected to create robust opportunities for ship communication equipment market development.

Regional Insights

North America holds a significant portion of the market for ship communication equipment due to powerful market competitors and the quick adoption of cutting-edge communication equipment and technology. The U.S. Maritime Advisory method acts as the centralized method for communication between the U.S. government and stakeholders in the U.S. maritime industry regarding possible or actual naval security risks. The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), based in Europe, is in charge of establishing various technical standards and publications about radio equipment and systems for use on inland and maritime waterways. The European Commission issued the Communication "A Green Recovery for the Blue Economy - Transforming the EU’s Blue Economy for a Sustainable FutureEN" in May 2021 as a new strategy for a sustainable blue economy in the EU. This strategy lays out a thorough plan for the industry to go from "Blue Growth" to a sustainable blue economy, which propels the green transition by substituting unrestrained growth with clean, climate-proof, and sustainable operations. On the other hand, the demand for ship communication equipment is growing due to the expansion of offshore development and marine research in developing nations such as China and India.
