Shore power market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 14.6% during the forecast period (2024-2031). Shore power is being implemented by ships to comply with environmental regulations, adhere to IMO standards, and enhance port infrastructure. Financial support from government grants and subsidies helps mitigate the initial expenses of installing shore power systems. Advances in technology have made these systems more efficient and cost-effective. Shipping companies are incorporating shore power into their sustainability initiatives. Public awareness and pressure from communities and environmental organizations motivate ports to adopt cleaner technologies. The expansion of the shipping industry and increased shipping activities are also driving the demand for shore power solutions. Shore power systems contribute to energy efficiency goals by providing a cleaner power source and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
Market Dynamics
Growth in Cruise Capacity
The expansion of the cruise industry is expected to encourage ports to grow more sustainable, which is favorable to the shore power sector. According to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), in April 2024 State of the Cruise Industry report revealed a 7% increase in passenger volume to 31.7 million in 2023. The report also highlights a strong demand for cruise holidays, with 82% of cruisers intending to cruise. The report also predicts a 10% increase in cruise capacity from 2024 to 2028, driven by cruise lines' efforts towards net-zero emissions by 2050.
Technological Advancements
Technological advancements in power conversion, transformers, and grid integration have significantly enhanced the efficiency and ease of implementation of shore power systems, driving market growth. For instance, Montrose Port Authority (MPA) launched a £1 million joint venture, Plug Montrose, with Norwegian shore power and maritime charging company, Plug AS. The initiative aims to reduce emissions, noise pollution, and fuel consumption by providing shore power services for offshore energy supply vessels. The partnership aims to become Scotland's first carbon-neutral port.
Market Segmentation
The Shoreside Segment is projected to Hold the Largest Market Share
The German government's cost coverage highlights the importance of public funding and subsidies in expanding global shore power infrastructure. For instance, in May 2024, Hamburg Port offered shore-side power supply to container ships, establishing it as the first port in Europe to do so. Three mega-ship berths can receive 7.5 MVA of power from the CTH plant, which is powered by renewable energy from the public grid. 50% of the costs were covered by the German government.
Transformers Segment to Hold a Considerable Market Share
Governments are promoting the adoption of shore power solutions, including direct investment in upgrading port infrastructure for sustainable technologies, through financial support and regulatory incentives. For instance, in February 2024, Ampersand received $12.5 million in funding to develop solid-state transformers (SSTs), which could improve efficiency and flexibility in electricity grids. These transformers could replace traditional AC transformers and offer direct current, useful for charging electric vehicles.
Regional Outlook
The global shore power market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (the UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
Port Infrastructure Investments In the North America Region
Ports are investing in shore power infrastructure to meet regulatory requirements and attract environmentally conscious shipping companies, aiming to improve efficiency and reduce environmental influence. For instance, in June 2024, PortMiami grew the first US East Coast seaport with shore power at five terminals, reducing emissions and noise by allowing cruise ships to plug into landside electrical power.
Global Shore Power Market Growth by Region 2024-2031
Asia-Pacific Holds Major Market Share
India is aiming for net-zero emissions by mid-century, focusing on shore power to reduce maritime emissions and driving market growth. For instance, in June 2024, India plans to expand shore power infrastructure at major ports, as 70% of air pollution at these ports comes from ships at berths or anchors. The maritime sector is crucial for India, carrying 95% of its trade volume and 65% of its trade value. Shore power technology can minimize climate impact and reduce public health benefits by reducing bunker fuel use. An ICCT study estimated that using shore power in two US port cities could reduce emissions by 68%, 85%, and 75%, resulting in $27 million in annual public health benefits.
