The Vessel Monitoring System Market was valued at US$ 688.3 million in 2019 and is projected to reach US$ 1,571.0 million by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.3% from 2020 to 2027.

The vessel monitoring system (VMS) is a satellite-based monitoring system providing data to end-user (operators of fishing vessels, cargo vessels) related to location, speed, and course of vessels. The VMS is heavily used for fisheries management. This system also finds its application in service vessels, passenger ships, and ferries. The fisheries managers have begun using VMS decades ago to track exact locations and monitor the fishing vessels' activity to strengthen the effectiveness of fisheries management measures. The VMS gathers vessel positions with help from GNSS satellite signals and transmits data to the communication server, which is further communicated to the land-based station/room. B using VMS, the task of tracking vessel becomes easy and fast, and assist in preventing wrongdoing activities at sea. Several factors, such as increasing demand from fisheries and cargo vessel sectors to have an eye on trade to curb unauthorized dealings. Countries such as Thailand and South Korea have started using VMS technology to monitor their vessels, ensuring that fisheries are carrying marine products legally. This aspect is creating more demand for vessel monitoring technology and hence driving the market growth. Another factor is the need for a mandatory environment to install VMS. Backed by government support, VMS is a standard system of fisheries monitoring and control globally. The European government has mandated that all European countries have this system, enabling them to transmit the data quickly and allow the Commission to monitor effectively. Besides, increasing international trade of goods other than fisheries at a large scale is projected to influence the demand for advanced tracking solutions such as VMS. Also, by integrating automatic identification system-based tools and other sophisticated techniques, VMS's adoption rate among the end-user industries will increase exponentially. As mentioned earlier, the integration of the systems will assist in managing critical challenges related to each mile-marker, terminal, anchorage, and buoy. Those as mentioned earlier are projected to fuel the market growth during the forecast period.

South Korea, Japan, China are, Spain are top five countries listed on conducing fisheries at high sea. Fisheries activities on large scale results in procurement of more fishing vessels which will directly influence the market growth. Also, growing international trade of products other than marine is also stimulating the use of cargo vessels. This factor will influence the market growth.

However, the APAC region dominated the vessel monitoring system market. Countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, China, and India are the prominent countries established for fisheries activities. Fisheries activities in mentioned countries will contribute in making the grow at an exponential rate. After APAC, Europe held the second largest share in the global vessel monitoring system market. The region is a pioneer in developing VMS and making it mandatory for fisheries and cargo vessel operators. The region is highly advanced in developing VMS. It also witnesses imprints of Applied Satellite Technology Ltd., BlueTraker, and CLS Fisheries which are engaged in the business of offering VMS. The North America region is a third largest region and is anticipated to grow at a highest CAGR. The US is a region’s largest nation for fisheries. As the region is technologically advanced, the adoption of VMS will grow massively. Whereas, Middle Eastern countries are looking forward to developing remote monitoring technology which will lead in introducing autonomous vessels. The countries of SAM are witnessing stable growth in VMS.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus negatively affects the vessel monitoring system market. The imposition of lockdown and movement of vehicles by government bodies to reduce curb the spread of the virus has negatively impacted the trade of products worldwide. Owing to the low business of trade, the number of cargo vessels, fisheries vessels has decreased drastically, which limited the use of VMS. Also, due to the temporary shutdown of manufacturing units, the procurement of new ships had negatively impacted, resulting in less VMS adoption. This factor has been analyzed while estimating the market size of the vessel monitoring system market in 2020.

Market Insights

Escalating Growth in Fisheries Application

One of the primary applications of vessel management system is to monitor the action and movement of fishing vessels in the sea or water bodies. The vessel management system assists fishing vessel to report their catch, for instance as per European Union regulation fishing vessels are require reporting about their weekly catch, transshipment, catch on entry and catch on exit, port of landing etc. As per the international laws a country has exclusive economic zone to 200 nautical miles (370km) from its costal region which implies other state fishery or other vessel cannot access it without any approval. Furthermore, the specification and calibration of vessel management system differs from country to country according to reporting norms set by the particular governing authorities for fishery. The regional governments are also aiding with various monetary and non-monetary incentives such as reduced taxes, relaxed regulation and reporting norms, and complete ownership of business etc. For instance, the Member States receive EU funding to acquire state-of-the-art equipment and train the people accordingly.

Application-Based Market Insights

Based on application, the vessel monitoring system market is segmented into: Fisheries Management, Surveillance, and Others. One of the primary applications of vessel management system is to monitor the action and movement of fishery vessels in the sea or water bodies. As per the international laws a country has exclusive economic zone to 200 nautical miles (370km) from its costal region which implies other state fishery or other vessel cannot access it without any approval.

Vessel Type Based- Market Insights

Based on application, the vessel monitoring system market is segmented into: Fishing Vessel, Cargo Vessel, Service Vessel, Passenger Ships & Ferries, and Others. Fishing vessels are ships or boat used for catching fish from sea or any inner land water body like lake or river. There are majorly two type in fishing vessel i.e. artesian and commercial vessel. The artisan vessels are comparatively small in size and capacity compared to commercial fishing vessels also are cheaper.
