Maritime Safety System Market by Security Type (Port & Critical Infrastructure Security (Perimeter Security, Surveillance, Access Control), Coastal Security, Crew Security), System (Ship Security Reporting, Distress Safety) - Global Forecast to 2029.

The maritime safety system market is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6% from USD 30.2 billion in 2024 to USD 47.8 billion in 2029. The need to manage intricate supply chain operations, improve sustainability in the maritime sector, increase public awareness of maritime safety, adhere to legal requirements, and support growing marine trade and freight transit activities are the main factors driving the market for maritime safety systems.

By offering, the services segment to account for higher CAGR during the forecast period.

Marine managers and vendors rely on technical support and consulting services to effectively deploy technology solutions. These services facilitate quicker and more efficient implementation, leading to optimized operations across various sectors. Managed by solution and service providers, these services are crucial for ensuring access to shared information and resources among dispersed parties within the maritime industry. Cloud platforms are particularly targeted towards ship management tasks like procurement, bunkering, crewing, training, and performance enhancement. With the maritime sector increasingly adopting digital solutions, cloud services are becoming increasingly vital in supporting these advancements.

By System, Ship Security Reporting System is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024.

A ship security reporting system is a crucial alerting mechanism designed to send distress signals to the maritime security center located at the Horn of Africa (MSCHOA) and UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO). This system was implemented to address the rising threat of pirate attacks in the Gulf of Aden and off the coast of Somalia. When a distress signal is activated, it is transmitted to the naval forces responsible for ensuring maritime security in these regions. The ship security reporting system provides a significant, multifaceted advantage to vessels by offering continuous monitoring within a designated range. Upon receiving a distress signal, MSCHOA or UKMTO verifies its authenticity. If confirmed as genuine, critical vessel information, including the vessel's name, IMO number, MMSI, and location, is promptly retrieved and relayed to the appropriate task forces. The transmission of signals from the SSRS center to the task forces via the mercury system takes less than five minutes. This efficient process enhances maritime security, allowing ships to navigate the most vulnerable waters with greater confidence and protection.

By End User, oil & gas is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

In the oil & gas sector within the maritime safety system market, maritime transportation stands out as a secure and efficient mode of conveyance. Over the years, there has been a remarkable 98% reduction in oil spills from tankers globally since 1970, a testament to the safety protocols implemented in vessels and the rigorous training of crew members. Oil ranks as the largest commodity transported via water, known for its cost-effectiveness and efficiency compared to other forms of transportation. With increasing exploration and production activities in deep-water and ultra-deep-water regions, there is a heightened demand for advanced safety systems to mitigate risks and ensure operational integrity. Investments in real-time monitoring, emergency response solutions, and regulatory compliance are paramount, fueling growth in this critical sector of the maritime industry.

Middle East & Africa is expected to grow at the second-highest CAGR during the forecast period.

The waterways within the Middle East & Africa (MEA region) hold immense global significance, facilitating the substantial export of oil and natural gas and serving as vital links between Eastern and Western traders through key passages like the Red Sea and Suez Canal. However, political tensions in this region have amplified the vulnerabilities of these waterways, exacerbated by challenges such as the lack of internal stability in bordering governments, inadequate maritime security capabilities, and potential naval threats from entities like the government of Iran. To remain competitive and aligned with global advancements, governments across the MEA are prioritizing a shift towards information and innovation-driven societies.

Unique Features in the Maritime Safety System Market

Maritime safety systems are tightly shaped by international and flag-state rules (SOLAS, IMO conventions, GMDSS), so a unique feature of the market is heavy emphasis on type-approved, certified hardware and software (e.g., VDRs, GMDSS equipment) that meet mandatory standards — vendors compete on completeness of regulatory coverage and ease of compliance.

Modern maritime safety offerings bundle robust Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) capture and replay tools as a core differentiator — these systems record multi-sensor, time-stamped bridge audio, ECDIS/radar screenshots, comms and alarms so operators and investigators can reconstruct incidents precisely. The market values solutions that make extraction, remote review and analytics straightforward.

A defining market feature is the shift toward real-time, satellite-enabled telemetry (positioning, alarms, condition data) and remote shore-side dashboards. Suppliers now offer continuous remote monitoring and the ability to stream critical data ashore — enabling faster interventions, shore-based analysis and fleet-wide situational awareness.

Major Highlights of the Maritime Safety System Market

The maritime safety system market is witnessing steady growth due to strict international regulations enforced by bodies such as the IMO and SOLAS. Mandatory compliance requirements for vessel tracking, emergency communication, navigation safety, and accident investigation systems are compelling shipowners and operators to continuously upgrade safety infrastructure across commercial and defense fleets.

Increasing maritime accidents, human error incidents, and harsh operating environments have intensified the focus on crew protection and operational safety. Modern maritime safety systems emphasize real-time monitoring, automated alerts, and decision-support tools that help reduce response time and minimize casualties during emergencies.

The transition toward smart and connected vessels is a key highlight of the market. Integration of digital navigation systems, sensor networks, AI-enabled analytics, and cloud-based safety platforms allows operators to monitor vessel health, navigation risks, and onboard conditions remotely, significantly improving situational awareness and safety outcomes.
