Dublin, April 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Electric Boats and Ships 2017-2027" report to their offering. This brand-new report looks at this fragmented but often highly profitable and growing sector. There are already over 100 manufacturers of electric boats and ships. The report finds that the market for hybrid and pure electric boats and ships will rise rapidly to over $20 billion worldwide in 2027 for non-military versions. Recreational boats is the largest and fastest growing electric marine market in sales number, followed by underwater leisure and autonomous underwater vehicles.
Battery needs and roadmap Steady improvement in battery performance and price will drive demand upwards as will faster charging. "Electric Boats and Ships 2017-2027" gives a particularly thorough coverage of the batteries and explains supercapacitor and other system evolution. Although the marine market is not the largest addressable market for Li-ion batteries, it is expected to be a major secondary value market due to the battery typically being unusually large, one MWh not being unusual.
On-water commercial marine category is currently the largest marine EV value market. Leisure craft on inland waterways, notably in the USA and Europe, will become the largest sector as more places from Germany to India ban internal combustion engines or, as with SunMoon Lake in Taiwan, the operators unanimously agree to go clean and quiet. New things possible with EV craft are: - Autonomy is easier. - River boats: silent study of wild life. - Ski boats, record breaking: best acceleration. - Leisure submarines: fun, independence for anyone. - Military: little or no heat or sound signature attracting missiles. - Energy independence by harvesting sun, waves, tide, wind etc is easier. - Workboats: provide electricity at destination for equipment and disaster recovery. - Tugboats: maximum power from stationary and holding position more precisely. Lowest up front cost for small vessels and potentially lowest cost of ownership for most vessels. - Saving planet, reducing deaths & sickness of humans and wildlife from local air and water pollution.
