Since ancient times, marine base steering gears have been an indispensable part of a ship’s machinery. They are unique equipment that help guide a vessel in open water. These marine base steering gears are integrated with rudder systems and play a key role in turning ships (both towards left or right) while in motion during sailing.

The rapid growth of the maritime industry and surge in the number of marine ships or vessels is providing a major impetus to the growth of marine base steering gear market and the trend is likely to continue during the forecast period.

There are generally two types of marine base steering gears available in the market i.e., ram type and rotary vane type. Among these, ram type segment dominates the global marine bases steering gear market.

Ram type marine base steering gear is the most commonly used steering gear construction. This type of marine base steering gear produces a considerable high value of torque for a given applied power due to its unique arrangement.

Which Are The Factors Augmenting The Growth Of Marine Base Steering Gear Market?

The swift growth of marine base steering gear market is attributable to the increasing demand for marine vessels for commercial and defense purposes, rising government investments in expanding shipbuilding industry, growing awareness about the benefits of using marine base steering gears, and technological advancements in marine base steering gears.

Marine base steering gears are equipment used to change the direction of the ships during sailing or maneuvering. They have become essential components of marine steering systems and provide movement of the rudder in response to a signal from the bridge to steer the ship.

Rapid growth in sea freight export along with increasing number of commercial and military vessels, the demand for marine base steering gears.

According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), world commercial fleet grew by 63 million dwt between January 2020 and January 2021. This will continue to provide tailwinds for the growth of marine base steering gear market.

Similarly growing popularity of rotary vane base steering gear among end users due to its various benefits including low vibration, less noise, cost-effectiveness, and flexible nature will further accelerate the growth of marine base steering gear market during the forecast period.

Furthermore, stringent military standards for designing steering gear to reduce vibration and noise along with rapid expansion of shipbuilding industry is expected to create lucrative opportunities for marine base steering gear manufacturers.

Governments across the world are taking various initiatives to develop and expand shipbuilding industry across their respective regions.  For instance, in 2022 Prime Minister of Australia, Scott Morrison announced a USD 4.3 billion investment in the development of a new dry-docking facility at Western Australia’s Henderson Shipyard to facilitate the construction and sustainment of large naval vessels as well as to support commercial shipbuilding and sustainment market. This will generate lucrative growth prospects within the marine base steering gear industry.

What Are The Challenges Faced By The Marine Base Steering Gear Industry?

Despite its optimistic stance, there are some obstacles that are limiting the growth of marine base steering gear market. Some of these obstacles include high cost of advanced marine base steering gear and poor availability of proper sea transport facilities in lower economies.

How Is Flourishing Sea Transport Business In Asia Pacific Driving Marine Base Steering Gear Market?

Over the years, Asia Pacific has emerged as a promising market for marine base steering gear and the trend is likely to continue during the forecast period, owing to the increasing foreign investments, favorable government policies, booming sea transport business, strong presence of leading marine base steering gear manufacturers, and easy availability of products at lower prices.

Countries such as China, South Korea, and Japan are experiencing enormous demand for marine base steering gears due to thriving shipbuilding industry, rapid growth in export business, increasing investments in various initiates taken by governments to strengthen their naval defense.

As per United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) 94% of the global shipbuilding occurred in China, Japan, and South Korea in 2020. Furthermore, half of the world fleet is owned by Asian companies. As marine base steering gear forms an integral part of vessels, rising in shipbuilding will eventually expand Asia Pacific marine base steering gear market during the assessment period.

What Makes Europe A Lucrative Market For Marine Base Steering Gear?

According to Future Market Insights, Europe marine base steering gear market is expected to register substantial growth during the forecast period, owing to the strong investments done in countries like Russia, France, Germany and other EU countries, presence of technologically advanced products, and increasing shipbuilding activities.

Similarly, booming seaborne trade across Europe and rise in the number of vessels will positively impact the marine base steering gear market during the assessment period. According to Eurostat, total gross weight of goods handled in European Union ports (inward and outward) reached around 4.0 billion tonnes in 2017.

Leading shipping companies in the region are constantly expanding their fleets to increase their revenue share. Rise in sales of cargo ships and vessels will further accelerate the growth of marine base steering gear market in Europe
