The global Class B AIS Transponders market size is expected to reach $ 33 million by 2030, rising at a market growth of 6.2% CAGR during the forecast period (2024-2030).
Market Drivers: Mandatory Requirements for Specific Vessels: While not mandatory for all vessels like Class A AIS, Class B AIS transponders are required on certain types of vessels, especially those over a certain length or engaged in specific activities. Regulatory requirements can drive adoption in these cases.
Enhanced Collision Avoidance: Class B AIS transponders contribute to collision avoidance by providing real-time information about a vessel's identity, position, course, and speed. This is particularly crucial for smaller vessels operating in busy waterways where interactions with larger vessels are common.
Improved Situational Awareness: The use of Class B AIS transponders enhances situational awareness for both the vessel operator and nearby ships. This improved awareness is valuable for navigating through congested areas, understanding the movements of other vessels, and avoiding potential hazards.
Affordability and Cost-Effectiveness: Class B AIS transponders are generally more affordable than their Class A counterparts. The lower cost can be a significant driver for smaller vessels, making it more feasible for them to invest in AIS technology for safety and regulatory compliance.
Global Adoption Trends: As AIS technology becomes more widely adopted globally, vessel operators may choose Class B transponders to align with international standards, interoperability, and communication consistency in different maritime regions.
Market Restrictions: Not Suitable for All Vessels: Class B AIS transponders may not be suitable for all types of vessels, especially larger ships subject to SOLAS regulations, where Class A transponders are mandated. This limitation restricts the market to specific segments of the maritime industry.
Less Information Broadcast: Compared to Class A AIS, Class B transponders have limitations on the rate of information broadcast and the types of data transmitted. This reduced data capacity may be a restriction for certain applications that require more detailed information.
Competition with Emerging Technologies: The maritime industry is evolving with new technologies, including alternative vessel tracking solutions. The competition with emerging technologies, depending on their capabilities and cost-effectiveness, can impact the adoption of Class B AIS.
Class B AIS (Automatic Identification System) transponders are devices used in maritime communication and navigation to enhance the visibility and safety of vessels. AIS is an automated tracking system that allows ships to transmit and receive information about their identity, position, course, and speed to other nearby vessels, as well as to shore-based stations. Class B AIS transponders are typically used by smaller vessels that are not required to carry the more advanced Class A AIS transponders.
