The Marine Electric Vehicle size is projected to grow from USD 10.1 billion in 2022 to USD 29.1 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 16.4 % from 2022 to 2030. The market growth is set to be propelled by the upsurge in global seaborne trade and the growing adoption of hybrid and electric vessels.
Marine Electric Vehicles (MEVs) represent a significant advancement in the field of marine transportation, offering a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuel-powered vessels. MEVs utilize electric propulsion systems and energy storage technologies to operate efficiently while minimizing environmental impact. These vehicles are designed to navigate various bodies of water, including rivers, lakes, coastal areas, and even open seas, depending on their capabilities. MEVs are powered by electric motors that draw energy from onboard batteries or fuel cells. They eliminate the need for fossil fuels such as gasoline or diesel, resulting in zero direct emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants during operation. This makes MEVs an attractive option for reducing air and water pollution, mitigating climate change, and promoting sustainable practices in the maritime sector.
