Global Marine Telematics Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

Global Marine Telematics Market Outlook

The global marine telematics market size is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 14.1% during 2024-2032. The market is being aided by the robust growth of the maritime sector and increasing focus on ensuring the safety and security of vessels.

Key Trends in the Market

Maritime telematics solutions play a crucial role in the shipping industry as they record information about a vessel and further send, process, and store the data through telecommunication. The technology is also used to monitor and control ships.

Marine telematics solutions are used in several applications, including shipping, boating, recreational fishing, and commercial fishing, among others. They share crucial information such as the level of fuel in tankers, water temperature, equipment functioning, pollutants, and other ship-related information in real-time to the concerned authorities.

• The global marine telematics market growth is primarily driven by the robust growth of the maritime sector and the need for better operational efficiency. This is boosting the adoption of marine telematics to provide real-time data and ensure compliance with guidelines and regulations determined by international organisations.

• An increase in globalisation and rising maritime trade are also positively impacting the marine telematics market demand. The use of maritime telematics helps ensure the safe movement of these ships loaded with commodities as it protects them from theft and piracy.

• Marine telematics is used to detect and respond to emergencies, which helps to ensure the safety and security of the vessel and its crew. It also monitors the onboard systems and equipment and reports any ill contingency that might occur in the future.

In the forecast period, the deployment of this technology is expected to surge due to the increasing demand for real-time visibility of vessels among stakeholders and the growing focus on optimising route planning to reduce operational costs of ships.
