The commercial ships segment accounted for a significant market share and is expected to grow at a healthy growth rate owing to rapid growth in international seaborne trade, the rising popularity of maritime tourism through ships, and a highly increasing number of port cities. In addition, continuously rising exploration of offshore resources and increasing import and export activities among many countries are expected to drive the segment market forward.
Moreover, the defense segment is likely to grow during the anticipated period. The growth of the market is mainly driven by the increased usage of ambitious ships to provide support to ground-based troops in terms of transport, refueling of military vehicles, ammunition, and protecting the troops and vehicles from enemy surface vessels as well as aircraft.
The OEM segment is expected to witness the fastest growth throughout the forecast period, which is mainly accelerated by rapidly growing demand and need for naval ships equipped with innovative and advanced integrated bridge systems. Additionally, the ability of OEM to feature multiple solutions in one single system and high scalability and modularity are likely to fuel the market growth significantly.
Furthermore, the aftermarket segment is anticipated to register considerable market growth over the coming years on account of increased up-gradation and development-related activities of the commercial naval vessels for enhanced safety of passengers and integration of various navigation functions for the purpose to avoid or reduce the number of human errors.
The integrated navigation systems held the largest revenue share, in 2021. The growth of the segment market can be attributed to the increased adoption of advanced and innovative INS systems in both commercial and defense ships across the world. In addition, increased focus on the deployment of the INS system in naval ships for various purposes is also driving market growth.
Furthermore, the voyage data recorder segment is expected to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period due to the extensively rising use of VDR systems in naval vessels worldwide. VDR system helps to improve the safety of ships during maritime operations and enhances the data system of all onboard integrated software on the ships.
The hardware segment is predicted to hold a significant market share during the anticipated period, which is attributed to the growing requirement for integrated bridge systems on commercial ships as well as defense ships. Hardware components including displays, controls, sensors, alarms, and storage devices play a very crucial role in the subsystems like INS, AIS, and AWOS, which integrate with integrated bridge systems. Moreover, the software segment is likely to expand significantly over the study period owing to rising demand for software applications from various shipbuilders around the world.
The North America region dominated the market for integrated bridge systems in 2021 and is expected to maintain its dominance over the next coming years. The growth of the regional market is mainly driven by the high defense budget for the navy and increasing developments and improvements in integrated systems and solutions. Additionally, rising exports and high economic development in the countries like the United States and Canada are also boosting the adoption of these systems in the region.
Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing region over the projected period owing to a continuous rise in fishing and cruising activities along with the growing demand for merchant ships from China and South Korea. In addition, growing efforts by market players and governments also on the development and enhancement of integrated bridge systems to provide better navigation solutions to the ships are likely to propel the regional market growth in the near future.
