The Electric Ships Market is expected to grow from US$ 3.82 billion in 2021 to US$ 7.76 billion by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.3% from 2021 to 2028.
Several marine industry associations are focusing on reducing the gas emission from the shipping industry. For instance, according to a report published by the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment, in April 2018, International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted a plan for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping by at least 50% by the end of 2050 compared with the level in 2008. Additionally, the IMO strategy includes ambitions to improve the energy efficiency of each ship and to reduce the carbon intensity of the whole marine industry by reducing emissions per unit of transport work done by at least 40% by 2030 and further towards 70% by 2050, according to report published by the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment. Also, in January 2020, according to IMO 2020 regulation, the IMO 2020 rule limits the use of Sulphur in the fuel oil used on board ships operating outside designated emission control areas to 0.50% m/m (mass by mass), a significant reduction from the previous limit of sulfur content by 3.50%. This has also resulted in switching the existing diesel-driven engines with electric or hybrid propulsion systems by the ship integrators and owners.

Type-Based Market Insights
Based on type, the electric ships market is segmented into battery electric ships, plug-in hybrid electric ships, and hybrid electric ships. The hybrid electric ships segment led the market in 2020. The reliability offered by hybrid electric ships supports its demand owing to the use of supplementary propulsion systems and higher speed, which can reduce the risk of failure and cover greater distances in less time. Besides, hybrid electric vessel propulsion can be propelled in two ways—electrical (via diesel-electric or battery power-driven) or mechanical (direct diesel drove). Furthermore, ship owners or shipping and logistic companies across the globe prefer hybrid electric ships as they enable lower fuel consumption and help reduce operational costs. The use of diesel-electric propulsion at low power and direct diesel-driven propulsion in need of high power that is inland water sailing with different speed conditions enables a reduction in operational cost in the electric ship. This is a smarter way to use available energy and save on fuel costs by using hybrid electric ship propulsion.

Rise in Adoption of Hybrid and Electric Propulsion Systems for Retrofitting Ships
Retrofitting ships is gaining interest and attracting shipowners/shipbuilders to extend the lifetime of their existing ships. Such a process provides a chance to reduce fuel consumption and stay updated with the latest eco-friendly solutions as a cost-effective procedure. Retrofitting is becoming a common practice in the maritime industry. Shipbuilders are moving toward automation, integrating newly built ships, and retrofitting existing ships with hybrid and electric propulsion systems. This system is a convenient choice for retrofitting outdated ships with enormous retrofit potential, including ferries, container vessels, cruise ships, tugboats, and general cargo ships. Shipbuilders choose to retrofit ships with a hybrid-electric propulsion system or a fully electric propulsion system as it is a relatively cheaper option than purchasing a new ship. Further, several European shipbuilders are actively retrofitting their current ship fleet with hybrid and electric propulsion systems. For instance, according to the article published by the Riviera Maritime Media Ltd, in March 2020, the offshore supply vessel (OSV) owners invested in retrofitting diesel-electric/LNG-powered fleets with battery-hybrid propulsion in a move that is paying off for the charterer, owner, and the environmental issues in Norway. These factors have resulted in the adoption of hybrid and electric propulsion systems for retrofitting ships.

2020, the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the growth of the global electric ship market due to the shutdown of manufacturing facilities and trade restrictions. Ship manufacturers had faced short-term operational issues due to supply chain disruption caused by several government initiatives to slow the spread of COVID-19. The shipping industry had become a significant part of several countries’ supply chains; it was significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The shipping industry depends on production, which was discontinued to prevent people from being affected by SARS-CoV-2, resulting in significant challenges. A South Florida-based cruise ship was affected for the third time, as Florida recorded its highest number of COVID-19 cases. SARS-CoV-2 infected an undisclosed number of passengers and crew of the Carnival Freedom cruise, so the ship was denied entry to Bonaire and Aruba. The growing maritime tourism industry helps in supporting the electric ships market growth. Thus, during 2021 and 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic will positively impact the market growth. This is expected to normalize the electric ships market growth over the forecast period of 2021–2028.
