Saudi Arabia Marine Propulsion Systems Market Synopsis

Saudi Arabia marine propulsion system market is expected to grow at a moderate rate during the forecast period. The growth of the market is driven by factors such as the increasing demand for recreational vessels and the growing commercial fishing industry in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, the government's initiatives to promote maritime activities are also expected to drive the growth of the market.

According to 6Wresearch, the Saudi Arabia Marine Propulsion Systems Market size is expected to grow during 2022-2028. Marine propulsion systems in Saudi Arabia are used to provide thrust to propel boats, ships, and other vessels through the water. There are a variety of marine propulsion system types available on the market, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages.

Saudi Arabia Marine Propulsion Systems Market Drivers and Restraints

The major drivers for the Saudi Arabia Marine Propulsion Systems Market growth include the increasing demand for fuel-efficient and technologically advanced marine propulsion systems, and the growing maritime trade in the country. However, the high initial cost of these systems is expected to restraint the growth of this market.

Types of Marine Propulsion Systems in the Saudi Arabia Marine Propulsion Systems market 

The most common type of marine propulsion system in Saudi Arabia is the outboard motor. Outboard motors are attached to the back of the vessel and can be used for a variety of vessel types, including small boats and larger ships. Outboard motors are typically gasoline-powered, but some models may use diesel or alternative fuel sources.

Another type of marine propulsion system is the inboard motor. Inboard motors are mounted inside the hull of the vessel and drive propellers that are located beneath the waterline. Inboard motors are typically diesel-powered and are more commonly found on larger vessels such as cargo ships and passenger ferries.

Stern Drive Engines: Stern drive engines are similar to inboard engines but are mounted on the stern (rear) of the vessel. They offer better performance than inboard and outboard engines due to their lower weight and higher power-to-weight ratio.

Jet Drives: Jet drives use a jet of water to propel the vessel forward. They are more efficient than propeller-driven systems and offer better manoeuvrability, but they are also more expensive.

There are two main types of hydrodynamic drives: closed-loop and open-loop. Closed-loop drives are more efficient than open-loop drives but require a higher initial investment. Open-loop drives are less expensive to purchase and install but are not as efficient as closed-loop drives.

The majority of vessels operating in Saudi waters use closed-loop hydrodynamic drives, due to the advantages they offer in terms of efficiency and performance.

Market Analysis based on Application

The Saudi Arabia marine propulsion systems market revenue is segmented by application into commercial vessels, passenger vessels, and military vessels. The commercial vessels segment accounted for the largest share of the Saudi Arabia marine propulsion systems market and is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the increasing demand for maritime transportation from various industries such as oil & gas, offshore construction, and fishing, among others.

The passenger vessels segment includes ferries, cruise ships, and other leisure boats. The demand for maritime transportation from the tourism industry is expected to drive the growth of this segment during the forecast period.

The military vessels segment includes warships, submarines, and other combatant ships. The increasing defense expenditure by the government of Saudi Arabia is expected to drive the growth of this segment during the forecast period.

Market Analysis based on Product

Marine propulsion systems can also be classified by their power source. The most common power sources for marine propulsion systems are gas, diesel, and electricity. Gas powered systems are typically less expensive than diesel or electric systems, but they may not be as efficient or have as much power. Diesel-powered systems tend to be more expensive than gasoline-powered ones, but they offer better fuel economy and more power. Electric marine propulsion systems are becoming increasingly popular due to their high efficiency and low emissions. However, electric systems tend to be more expensive than gasoline or diesel systems.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Saudi Arabia Marine Propulsion Systems Market

The pandemic has affected the Global Marine Propulsion Systems Market owing to the many restrictions imposed during the pandemic which resulted in a downturn for the market. The fishing and recreational industries were also seriously impacted on the demand side which compounded on the Marine Propulsion Systems Market. 

Classification based on auxiliary drives

The Saudi Arabia marine propulsion systems market is classified based on auxiliary drives, into shaft-mounted and stern-mounted. Shaft-mounted drives are further sub-segmented into gear drives and belt drives. Stern-mounted drives are further classified into pod drives and water jets. 

Auxiliary drives are used in marine propulsion systems to provide power to auxiliaries such as pumps, compressors, etc. They are either shaft mounted or stern mounted. Shaft mounted drives are further sub-segmented into gear drives and belt drives. Gear drives use gears to transfer power from the engine to the auxiliaries, while belt drives use belts. Stern mounted drives are further classified into pod drives and water jets. Pod drive is a type of stern drive in which the propeller is mounted on a pod that can be swiveled. This allows for better maneuverability than traditional stern drive systems. Water jet propulsion uses high-pressure water jets to propel the vessel forward.
