선박용 VHF 무전기 및 AIS(자동 식별 시스템) 시장 : 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석(2025-2034년)

The Global Marine VHF Radio And AIS Market was valued at USD 520.4 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2025 to 2034. This growth is driven by the increasing demand for advanced maritime safety solutions and the need for strict adherence to global regulatory standards. As the maritime industry faces growing challenges, such as vessel collisions, navigation risks, and regulatory compliance, the demand for technologies like VHF radios and Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) has surged.

These technologies are crucial for ensuring the safety of both commercial and recreational vessels by enhancing communication capabilities, improving vessel tracking, and reducing the risks of accidents on the water. The rising focus on real-time communication, accurate vessel tracking, and collision avoidance has positioned these technologies at the forefront of maritime operations. Additionally, as shipping companies seek to enhance operational efficiency and streamline their processes, the adoption of VHF radios and AIS systems has become indispensable in meeting international maritime safety standards and regulations.

The market is segmented into marine VHF radios and AIS, both of which play a critical role in ensuring the smooth operation of maritime vessels. The marine VHF radio segment alone surpassed USD 300 million in 2024, primarily due to worldwide safety mandates and regulatory pressure. Regulatory bodies such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) have made VHF radios a mandatory component on all commercial vessels, particularly for distress communication and daily operational communication. This has resulted in increased adoption, not only in new vessels but also in retrofitted older ships.

Key end-user segments contributing to the market growth include port authorities, vessel traffic service providers, and ship owners and operators. Among these, the ship owners and operators segment is a major growth driver, with the need for operational efficiency and strict compliance with maritime regulations. The integration of VHF radios and AIS enables real-time vessel tracking, enhanced collision avoidance, and reliable communication between vessels and shore-based facilities. These solutions are essential for maintaining smooth operations in busy ports and congested shipping lanes, where the timely exchange of information can make all the difference in avoiding accidents.

In 2024, the U.S. dominated the VHF radio and AIS market, accounting for an impressive 87% of the global share. This dominance is attributed to the strong maritime regulations enforced by the U.S. Coast Guard, which mandates advanced communication and tracking systems for all commercial vessels operating in U.S. waters. As the U.S. handles a significant portion of global trade, the reliance on VHF radios and AIS for navigation, communication, and safety continues to rise. The growing enforcement of safety measures, coupled with increasing maritime trade, is expected to further propel the U.S. market in the coming years.
