The global marine electronic fuel injection market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of roughly 6.4% during the period from 2018 to 2028, from an estimated value of US$ 3.2 billion in 2018 to an anticipated value of US$ 4.6 billion by 2028, with key players operating in this field including Parker Hannifin Corporation (Ohio), Robert Bosch GmbH (Germany) and Cummins Incorporated (Indiana).
A marine electronic fuel injection system is a device that delivers the pressurized air and fuel mixture to an engine for combustion, helping it perform better while meeting emission standards. Fuel is pumped from a fuel tank to the engine's intake. When under high pressure, it passes through a nozzle which atomizes the liquid into small droplets. Air enters at about atmospheric pressure on one side of the nozzle and exits at higher velocity on the other side as well as in front of the nozzle. The resulting mixture flows out of the nozzle and is drawn into the engine's cylinders.
This technology has been around for decades but it continues to evolve as new challenges arise in meeting emission standards, which are constantly tightening worldwide. The system uses electronic sensors and fuel injectors that deliver more precise control of engine operation than traditional mechanical systems. In addition, this type of system has benefited from the technology utilized in other sectors, including computerization and information processing.
On the basis of type, the global marine electronic fuel injection market is segmented into pump-line systems, common rail systems, and other injection systems.
Pump-line systems inject fuel into the engine at high pressure. The pump is used to pressurize and transfer diesel, gasoline, or other petroleum-based fuels from a storage tank in one area of the vessel or installation to an injection nozzle that delivers it directly into the combustion chamber. Fuel that does not combust with sufficient intensity can result in engine damage and can lead to both high fuel consumption or a decrease in the performance of an engine. This type of system is typically used on smaller engines that use diesel as their primary fuel source.
Pump-line systems are often used for small workboats such as those found at harbor areas, where they offer enough power without having to run a very powerful engine. They would also be used on vessels that use other forms of fuel like gasoline if they were not needed to power up diesel engines, and are engineered in such a way as to make them more resistant to the effects of water or heat.
The common-rail system is a type of fuel injection system for supplying diesel engines with pressurized liquid. The idea behind this technology is that the injection pressure can be varied, not only by changing the amount of energy provided to a particular injector but also by using different nozzles and orifices which are installed on each injector. This way, the pressure in a particular cylinder can be increased to improve engine combustion. The fuel injectors are connected by a common rail which is basically nothing more than a one-way valve that only allows pressurized liquid to flow from one end of it towards another based on the nature of the injection system.
Common rail systems utilize electronically-controlled injectors mounted directly onto each cylinder head. These injectors are capable of delivering a constant metered dose of fuel, which ensures that the components in an engine can be optimally supplied with enough fuel to maintain their performance level.
On the basis of application, the global marine electronic fuel injection market is segmented into commercial vessels, inland waterways vessels, and off-shore support vessels.
Electronic fuel injection systems in commercial vessels are used to deliver a precise amount of fuel into the engine. The rate at which this fuel is delivered can be adjusted as needed by the operator. This ensures that there is sufficient power for all operating conditions while also maximizing efficiency and saving on resources like fossil fuels, electricity, or water consumption.
Inland waterways vessels are regularly subjected to tough conditions and their electronic fuel injection system needs to be able to handle them. In order to achieve this, the injection system needs to be able to withstand significantly higher pressure levels and also contain a large number of moving parts. This means that while common rail systems have their place in commercial vessels (where they operate at lower pressures) it is not ideal for inland waterways applications where these requirements are needed.
Pump-line-nozzle systems are the most widely used type of injection system in these vessels. They have a high-pressure tolerance and can also handle more complicated nozzle arrangements, such as injecting fuel through multiple ports into the combustion chamber.
Offshore Support Vessels are large ships that support offshore drilling operations. They provide supply and personnel to the platforms, transport gas or oil from production rigs to on-shore terminals for processing, collect drill cuttings in a trash rack system and remove produced water.
The application of Marine Electronic Fuel Injection Systems is crucial because it provides lower emissions due to cleaner fuel with fewer particulates released into the air as well as reduced noise pollution (due to quieter engines) and increased efficiency during combustion which means less energy consumption.
Offshore support vessels also require higher quality fuels than what is available at ports so they need an efficient way of providing this high-quality liquid fuel at sea without compromising engine operation or safety precautions like fire suppression systems.
On the basis of region, the global marine electronic fuel injection market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa.
In the North American region, the market is led by the USA with a revenue of over $XX million in 2017 owing to a large number of offshore support vessels that are used for oil exploration activities and other shipping purposes.
In the European region, France stands out as an important player due to its expertise in this area coupled with low freight rates which allow them to export their products at competitive prices while still being cost-effective.
Latin America has countries like Brazil leading the way because it hosts substantial shale gas deposits making it possible for these firms to produce fuel more cheaply than those located elsewhere on Earth. In the Asia Pacific, China leads the pack generating revenues worth XX% from exports mainly driven by the country's large population.
In UAE, the Middle East & Africa region - demand for marine power is driven by rising oil prices and rapidly expanding populations in countries such as India where it has been forecast that energy consumption will grow to XX% of their total output by 2028 from XX% in 2016
Growth Factors
- Increasing demand for power efficiency in marine engines will drive the growth of the market. The increasing need to reduce emissions has also contributed significantly towards this high growth rate over the last few years. As emission standards are becoming stricter, there is a greater focus towards lower carbon footprint and more efficient fuel consumption. The introduction of new technologies such as common rail injection systems that help improve engine performance while reducing nitrous oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions would offer significant opportunities for players operating within this industry on both sides of the supply chain - manufacturers and distributors or OEMs & suppliers
- Other factors include increased scope for innovation activities because of better technology advancements during the past two decades; growing fleet size globally which improves operational efficiencies; and the need for more powerful engines to propel vessels with greater tonnage.
