Rise in Marine Transportation Bolsters Middle East & Africa High-Speed Engine Market
The preference for marine transportation has increased in the past few years as it offers cheaper rates, is ideal for large volume goods, and easily connects with other parts of the world. One of the main benefits of marine transportation is shipping companies' ability to ship oversized, heavy loads that are commonly referred to as breakbulk or Not-in-trailer (NIT) loads. Large vehicles, equipment, construction materials, and other items might be transported as cargo. The process of carrying such cargo through the roadways and airways leads to several issues, such as high prices and difficulties in transportation due to the weight or size of the load. Thus, the adoption of marine transportation has increased. For instance, as per the data provided by the World Economic Forum in 2021, approximately 90% of the world's goods are transported by sea. As per the data published by the United Nations in 2023, the world commercial merchant fleet grew by 70 million deadweight ton (dwt). The following chart shows the increasing demand for ships in the commercial fleet.
Further, the growing adoption of ships boosts the demand for high-speed engines, as these engines play an important role in the overall operations of a ship. Thus, the rise in marine transportation drives the ABC high-speed engine market.
Middle East & Africa High-Speed Engine Market Overview
Over the past few years, governments of Middle Eastern countries have been focusing on strengthening their non-oil GDP. Thus, countries such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia are concentrating on the development of industries such as construction, mining, manufacturing, etc. In July 2023, the UAE entered into a US$ 1.9 billion agreement with the DR Congo's state mining corporation to develop four mines. Moreover, in January 2024, as part of its "Vision 2030" initiative to reshape and diversify its economy, the Saudi Arabian government added mining as a "pillar" of its industrial base. The Saudi government is further planning to extract US$ 2.5 trillion worth of metals from the mining industry. The rise in mining activities is projected to boost the demand for stable stationary power sources for carrying out mining operations, which is ultimately projected to fuel the need for high-speed engines in the coming years.
