Satellite AIS (Automatic Identification System) Market
According to a new report published by Introspective Market Research, titled, “Satellite AIS (Automatic Identification System) Market by Product Type, Application and Region: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024–2032,”
the global Satellite AIS (Automatic Identification System) Market size was valued at $ 113.26 million in 2023, and is projected to reach $ 207.52 million by 2032, registering a CAGR of 6.96 % from 2023 to 2032.
Satellite AIS (Automatic Identification System) is a technology used to track and trace the movement of ships in real-time at sea. Receiving the signals sent by the ships, the satellites transmit the ships' locations, identifiers, course, and speed information to the stations located on the coast. They make it possible to raise maritime awareness in the fields of ship traffic management, maritime safety, and environmental protection. Satellite AIS (Automatic Identification System) increases the demand for real-time ship tracking and maritime security. Satellite AIS technology uses satellites to monitor the movement of ships around the world and provides valuable information for various applications such as maritime surveillance, and ship tracking, marine awareness, and environmental monitoring.
The Satellite AIS(Automatic Identification System) Market is segmented into Product Type, Application, and region. By Product Type, the market is categorized into class A Transponder and Class B Transponder. By Application, the market is categorized into Search & Rescue, Defense, and Intelligence & Security. By region, it is analyzed across North America (U.S.; Canada; Mexico), Eastern Europe (Bulgaria; The Czech Republic; Hungary; Poland; Romania; Rest of Eastern Europe), Western Europe (Germany; UK; France; Netherlands; Italy; Russia; Spain; Rest of Western Europe), Asia-Pacific (China; India; Japan; Southeast Asia, etc.), South America (Brazil; Argentina, etc.), Middle East & Africa (Saudi Arabia; South Africa, etc.).
The growing demand for maritime security solutions due to piracy, illegal fishing, smuggling, and environmental threats has increased the need for effective monitoring and control systems. Satellite AIS technology provides real-time vessel tracking and detection, increasing maritime awareness and enabling timely response to security threats. Governments, maritime agencies, and commercial organizations around the world are increasingly investing in satellite AIS solutions to secure their maritime assets, protect coastal borders, and ensure compliance with international regulations. In addition, the integration of AIS data with other maritime surveillance technologies such as radar and satellite imagery improve situational awareness and operational efficiency.
IoT devices are becoming more common across industries and the demand for real-time monitoring and tracking of assets, vessels and shipping is increasing. Satellite AIS uses satellite technology to provide global coverage and real-time information on ship movements, improving maritime safety and efficiency.
IoT integration in satellite AIS can provide advanced features such as seamless integration with other IoT devices and platforms, advanced analytics for predictive maintenance and operational optimization, and improved communication and coordination between ships and ground operations.
Global Satellite AIS (Automatic Identification System) Market, Segmentation
The Satellite AIS (Automatic Identification System) Market is segmented based on product type, application, and region.
Product Type:
The product type segment is further classified into Class A Transponder and Class B Transponder. Among these, the Class A Transponders sub-segment accounted for the highest market share in 2023. The Class A transmitter segment is primarily used for the transmission and reception of identification and location information on marine vessels. Known for their high accuracy and reliability, Class A transponders play an important role in ensuring maritime safety, navigation, and effective ship control. Class A transmitters with advanced features such as real-time tracking, long-range communication capabilities, and compatibility with terrestrial and satellite AIS networks. The A-class transponder segment is continuously growing due to increasing maritime traffic, demand for maritime security solutions, and vessel tracking and monitoring regulations.
Application:
The application segment is further classified into Search & Rescue, Defense, Intelligence & Security. Among these, the Search & Rescue sub-segment is anticipated to show the fastest growth by 2032. A search and rescue team can effectively locate and assist vessels in distress at sea, reducing response time and potentially saving lives. Satellite AIS enables real-time vessel tracking and tracing, enabling search and rescue teams to quickly identify vessels in distress at sea, determine their exact location and effectively coordinate rescue efforts. This capability is particularly important in remote or risky marine environments where traditional communication and tracking methods may be limited.
Region:
The Satellite AIS (Automatic Identification System) Market in Asia-Pacific is projected to show the fastest growth by 2032. The Asia-Pacific region has a significant shipping industry, with countries such as China, Japan, South Korea and Singapore leading in maritime trade and operations. The region has an extensive network of ports and waterways. To improve maritime safety, there is a growing demand for effective ship tracking and monitoring systems such as satellite AIS.
