What Are The Core Growth Drivers Shaping The Future Of The Ship Rudders Market?
The growth of the ship rudder market is anticipated to be driven by an increase in cargo transportation via waterways. The use of cargo transportation for the movement of goods between locations with the help of ships, planes, trains, or trucks, primarily for business or professional needs, is a significant factor. Ship rudders play a critical role in cargo transportation as they provide steering, port maneuvering, adaptability to external factors, collision avoidance, and enhanced navigation for ships. For example, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), an intergovernmental organization based in Switzerland, global maritime trade saw a rise of 2.4% in 2023, hitting 12.3 billion tons from 11 billion tons in 2021. In 2024, the sector is projected to increase by 2%, with an average yearly growth rate of 2.4% expected till 2029. Consequently, the uplift in cargo transportation via waterways is a key driver for the growth of the ship rudder market.

What Are The Top Trends In The Ship Rudders Industry?
Innovative production methods are a dominant trend in the ship rudders industry. Big players in the sector are concentrating on developing innovative solutions to maintain their market dominance. For example, in November 2022, Kongsberg Maritime launched an innovative Direct Trunk Support (DTS) system for rudders. This system brings considerable improvements in maneuverability, propulsion performance, and weight reduction, which contributes to less fuel consumption and emissions over time. Its notable benefits are evident during the design phase of the ship. The increased load distribution enables a lower-positioned steering gear deck, giving designers greater flexibility in the development of the aft-ship. This enhances a vessel's storage capacity. Pairing the DTS system with Kongsberg's PROMAS system paves the way for larger potential. The propeller and rudder are integrated into a single system with the objective to increase hydrodynamic efficiency. This extra design flexibility for rudders and propellers paves the way for substantial improvements in propulsion efficiency and fuel economy.
