The global market size reached USD 7.0 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 15.0 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8% during 2025-2033.
Factors Affecting the Growth of the Electric Boat and Ship Industry:
● Environmental Regulations and Sustainability Goals:
Governments are adopting measures to cut greenhouse gases, boosting the market. Now, electric power is preferred over diesel. It’s seen as crucial, regardless of technology. Similarly, the global push for sustainability is urging maritime operators to adopt cylinder technologies. Businesses aim to reduce emissions, making electric vessels essential. The pressure to meet these standards is driving the shift to electric solutions in both leisure and commercial shipping.
● Advancements in Battery Technology:
Battery technology, especially Li-ion, is advancing rapidly. This boosts the market. New batteries offer more energy. As a result, electric ships can travel further and more efficiently. These upgrades solve previous range issues. Thus, electric propulsion is now viable for long sea trips. Ongoing research is lowering battery costs. This makes electric boats competitive with traditional engine-powered ones. Meanwhile, power systems are also evolving. Consequently, electric propulsion is becoming more effective and reliable.
● Increasing Fuel Costs:
Rising fossil fuel prices are pushing the shift to electric boats and ships. Increasing crude oil prices are raising the costs for diesel vessels. Thus, operators are seeking better options. Electric drive systems are favored for their lower energy use and minimal upkeep. They are simpler than diesel engines, which have more components. This simplicity eases operation and maintenance, significantly lowering costs. Therefore, electric vessels are more viable for commercial fleets concerned about fuel expenses.

Global Electric Boat and Ship Market Trends:
To some extent, the literature analysed in the present research shows that there is a gradual increase in awareness of environmental issues. This is fuelling the need for sustainable activity. As stated earlier, auto electric boats are almost noiseless and can be described as almost non-invasive to the surrounding environment and are currently widely used in tourism and recreational services. However this trend is most evident in areas that are protected and restricted from conventional engines.
Governments around the world are now considering electric boats through subsidy grants and tax incentives. These incentives have the socialization function of distributing some of the access and ownership costs of electric vessels in acquisition so that it is easier to secure among additional operators.
