AUTOPILOT SYSTEM ON THE WATER MARKET OVERVIEW

The global autopilot system on the water market size was USD 0.62 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 1.11 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

The vessel's course is automatically maintained by the water autopilot system, computer-controlled equipment. In order to maintain the desired course, it is designed to automatically control the vessel's heading using the input from a magnetic compass sensor or by using GPS waypoints. The technology is used to automate the steering of the ship, freeing the skipper from the tiresome responsibility of keeping a precise course. The water autopilot system is used to provide the ship's skipper with a more precise heading, which may be combined with the GPS system to maintain the ship's path without human intervention.

The autopilot system on a water is capable of working in dangerous situations, such as when the water is moving violently. The autopilot system on the water provides a hassle-free experience for both passengers and personnel by determining the route and direction. It effectively controls the route deviation while using less energy. One of the factors pushing the implementation of autopilot systems on the water and, thus, favorably influencing autopilot system on a water market growth is the rise in the usage of container and cargo ships for the delivery of packages. However, it is projected that the combination of an autopilot system on the water with autonomous boats would present a wealth of options for market participants for such systems.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Decreased Both The Need For Sea Transportation And Maritime Trade

The market for autopilot system on a water has been significantly impacted by the new coronavirus outbreak. A decline in maritime trade and activity due to the pandemic has had a detrimental effect on the market for marine autopilot systems. Additionally, the pandemic has caused a decline in the manufacture of marine autopilot systems, which has impacted the market. Furthermore, the pandemic’s spread has decreased consumer interest in recreational boats, which in turn has hindered the market for autopilot systems on a water.

LATEST TRENDS

Usage of Wireless Remote Controls to Transform Market Outlook

The major technological improvement in marine autopilots has been the ability of modern units to guide a far more precise path than earlier ones, even in extremely difficult circumstances. Microprocessor technology now makes course tracking, counter-rudder, and automated asymmetry adjustment possible. The use of wireless remote controllers for autopilots is expanding right now. Even today, certain autopilots can steer by wire. Today's marine autopilot technology mostly originated in aircraft. Tecnautic is a leader in bringing aero plane autopilot technology to the maritime industry and sells all of its products online.

A 3D sensor has been added to NKE's GyroPilot, which was first introduced in 1995 and has a gyrocompass that can output a yacht's immediate heading as well as its rate of rotation. To deliver precise technical control information, the 3D sensor monitors the movement and direction of the boat. The Reactor line of GARMIN pilots is intended for both sailing and power vessels. Using artificial intelligence (AI), Raymarine has developed its Evolution line of pilot computers, which automatically adjust settings based on the environment.
