The Europe high-speed engine market was valued at US$ 5,546.01 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 8,171.52 million by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 5.0% from 2022 to 2030.
Aging Commercial Fleet Drives Europe High-Speed Engine Market
In almost all countries, most of the commercial ship fleet is aged. As per the data published by the United Nations in 2023, the average age of ships globally was 22.2 years, and more than half of the ships are older than 15 years. Further, as per the data provided by the Braemer in 2023, approximately 1.8% and 1.5% of the total ships globally are projected to retire by 2024 and 2025, respectively. As the fleet is aging rapidly, the demand for new ships is projected to increase to replace the aged and retired ships, which is expected to increase the demand for high-speed engines. According to the data published by The Baltic and International Maritime Council (BIMCO) in January 2024, 478 container ships are already scheduled for delivery in 2024 with a combined capacity of 3.0 million TEU. Thus, with the aging of the commercial fleet, the need for replacing the commercial fleet will increase, which is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for the high-speed engine market growth during the forecast period.
Europe High-Speed Engine Market Overview
Growing investments in the power generation industry and the development of sustainable power generation solutions are among the major factors that are expected to generate lucrative opportunities for the Europe high-speed engine market during the forecast period. For instance, in November 2023, the European Commission announced its plans to scale up the investments for the upgradation of its power grids. The European Commission is investing approximately US$ 640 million to upgrade its power grid. Europe accounted for an 22.45% share of the Europe high-speed engine market in 2023. Various countries such as Italy, the UK, Spain, and Germany held the majority share in the Europe high-speed engine market owing to the increasing investments in the marine and oil & gas sectors. In February 2023, the UK government announced two new investments for infrastructure development and zero-emission vessels. The government of the UK has invested US$ 80 million in infrastructure development and zero-emission vessels. Further, the marine sector in Spain has invested approximately US$ 250 million in R&D to provide cutting-edge technologies in an increasingly competitive market. New technology such as autonomous shipping, artificial intelligence, and efficient fuel systems will play a critical role in the future expansion of the marine sector across Spain. Apart from the investments in the marine sector, governments of many countries in Europe are investing in the energy and power sectors to develop a continuous flow of power. In November 2023, the European Union presented its plans to invest in the development of the new as well as the upgradation of current power grids in the region. According to the European Union, approximately US$ 700 billion will be invested in the development and upgradation of the grids. Increased investments in the energy & power industry are projected to boost the requirement for high-speed engines for power generation purposes. This increased demand is expected to fuel the Europe high-speed engine market growth in the coming years.
