Recent times have seen a considerable surge in piracy that poses a significant threat to world shipping industry. According to the International Maritime Bureau, in 2017, around 180 cases of piracy and armed robbery were registered, and what is even more daunting, six vessels were hijacked. However, a slivering hope can be experienced as the number of such cases are decreasing in both the Gulf of Aden and in the Indian Ocean. Meanwhile, other issues such as drug trafficking, terrorism, and territorial disputes are keeping the authorities busy. These factors have proved essential for the implementation of maritime security and navigation plays an integral part in it. For instance, the U.S. Navy is expecting a heavy boost in defense expenditure in 2018-2019. Furthermore, maritime tensions have given rise to the naval defense expenditure of India and China.

The Chinese government has also set their eyes on this industry as this could give rise to manufacturing business considerably.

However, a disorder in navigation can be caused by hacking the GPS signals with widely available cheap jamming devices. Modern designs of ships do not allow a backup navigational system unlike aircraft. Hence, they are more vulnerable to cybercrimes. Tackling this issue is a concern for many governments. The U.S. and South Korea have started developing an earth-based navigational system to counter this threat. Till then, the danger can deter the market growth.
