Research and Markets: Marine Electric Vehicles 2012 - 2022. The Rapidly Growing $2.3 Billion Market For Marine Electric Vehicles Is Unusually Varied


research and markets

DUBLIN--February 22, 2012: Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Marine Electric Vehicles 2012 - 2022" report to their offering.

Inland and seagoing - boats, small submarines, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) Those making electric vehicles or their components seek to expand their business. To do this, they need to look beyond the oversupplied on-road sector. Marine electric vehicles are interesting as a market that is more profitable and often more open to innovation. However, until now, there has been no report assessing this substantial market sector. No longer. This is the world's first comprehensive report on marine electric vehicles with latest ten year forecasts and important new projects such as submarines that will fly.

Large Military Business Will Be Overtaken:

The rapidly growing $2.3 billion market for marine electric vehicles is unusually varied. It includes on-water and underwater electric vehicles for inland waterways and the sea. Military electric craft dominate in market value today, despite the fact that IDTechEx excludes electrically propelled ordnance, such as torpedoes, and tethered vehicles from this report. Civil marine electric vehicles will constitute the largest marine electric vehicle market by value.

About This Report:

This report covers hybrid and pure electric marine vehicles: it encompasses the extreme variety from a $50 pure electric sea scooter for a scooba diver to many $25 million hybrid super yachts and pure electric $5 million AUVs, tourist submarines etc., some with fuel cells. IDTechEx shows how the most popular seagoing enclosed leisure yachts are going hybrid this year for competitive advantage. By contrast, IDTechEx observes that it is new laws from Taiwan to Europe that are making electric boats the norm on inland waterways, even for water skiing. Learn how electric robot surface craft gather oil slicks while new electric tugboats outperform traditional ones and have new laws to encourage their adoption. Technology choices, trends and future breakthroughs are fully analysed. Easy to read summaries

The information is distilled into 19 easy to read tables and 109 figures in this new 181 page report. For example, one table gives 82 manufacturers of marine electric vehicles by country and type of craft and many component suppliers are surveyed. Non military marine forecasting categories are scuba sea scooters, leisure and tourist surface boats, AUVs, personal and tourist submarines, work boats. Military marine EVs are forecasted separately. Market data for these marine electric vehicles are compared with data for all electric vehicles to put the results in context.
