Based on equipment type, the Class 3 segment of the dynamic positioning systems market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Class 3 dynamic positioning systems provide accurate location of a vessel as compared to other equipment types. Manufacturing companies prefer Class 3 DP systems, as they are high technologically advanced. This factor is expected to fuel the growth of the Class 3 segment. Class 3 systems hold a vessel in its exact position where it has to be even in extreme conditions, such as high tides, fire caused in the vessel, among others.

Based on application, the merchant vessels segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period

Based on application, the merchant vessels segment of the dynamic positioning systems market is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Increasing use of dynamic position (DP) vessels for offshore drilling by oil industries is fueling the growth of the merchant vessels segment.

Africa is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Africa is one of the fastest-growing markets for dynamic positioning systems due to increase in the end users of dynamic positioning systems. Africa’s economic development was fueled by activities related to extraction of massive energy sources. Due to the presence of a significant number of natural resources, various non-African companies are willing to contribute towards the development of the African maritime sector. The marine port will serve as a gateway for East African landlocked countries, such as Uganda, Malawi, Rwanda, Burundi, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Major players in the dynamic positioning systems market are General Electric Company (U.S.), Rolls-Royce plc. (U.K.), ABB Group (Switzerland), L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. (U.S.), Wartsila Oyj Abp (Finland), and Kongsberg Gruppen ASA (Norway).
