An Automatic Identification System is a tracking system shared the location of vessels in the vicinity. AIS, also known as broadcast transponder system, operates in the VHF mobile maritime frequency band. This provides a terrestrial-based monitoring system of suitably equipped ships. This information is collected by shore stations, other vessels, and satellites, thus enabling other equipped vessels to identify other vessels in their area. Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) ashore use AIS to identify, locate and monitor vessels. An AIS transponder normally works in an autonomous and continuous mode, regardless of operating in the open seas or coastal or inland areas. AIS transponders use two different frequencies, VHF maritime channels 87B (161.975 MHz) and 88B (162.025 MHz). The Panama Canal uses the AIS to provide information about rain along the canal and wind in the locks.


The AIS is also being used for different applications, including the widespread transmission of critical environmental conditions information, such as sea state and weather, to mariners, forecasters, and emergency response providers. Several pilot projects are in the research & development phase that will demonstrate the capacity and promise of AIS data and the AIS platform to serve multiple purposes, providing overall maritime domain awareness while maintaining its most important objective of tracking vessels to aid safe, secure, efficient and environmentally sound maritime operations. Considering the above factors, the market is expected to witness substantial growth in revenue during the forecast period.


During the COVID-19 pandemic, the naval and shipbuilding sectors experienced numerous difficulties, such as staff isolation, manufacturing halts, and disrupted supply chains. Shipbuilding investments decreased, which affected offshore operations and maritime trade services. There was less of a need for automatic identification systems as shipbuilding declined. A decline in demand and financial difficulties caused many small maritime businesses to fail. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) 2020 report states that there was a 4.1% decline in global maritime trade, which had an impact on ports, shipping networks, cargo volumes, and growth prospects.


Automatic Identification System Market Trends


Growing Trend of Space-Borne Automatic Identification System to Boost Market Growth


Space-borne SAR and AIS are complementary and ship surveillance using an integrated combination has attracted considerable attention. At present, there is a growing demand for space-borne identification systems. Since more and more satellites are equipped with an AIS payload, corresponding software and hardware are being designed to boost market growth over the forthcoming years. For instance,



  • ‘Ocean-2B’ satellite-based AIS payload is used to test the performance of the scene simulation system, which indicates that the method can simulate real scenes of receiving signals in orbit in a favorable manner.

  • In October 2021, ExactEarth Ltd., a leading provider of Satellite-AIS data services, announced a USD 1.5 million one-year Satellite-AIS services contract with Geospatial Intelligence Pty Ltd. Under the terms of the agreement, ExactEarth will provide GI with the Company's real-time exact AIS Platinum Plus product, its Ship view web-based analysis tool, certain historical Satellite-AIS data sets and its Position Anomaly analytics application.

Automatic Identification System Market Growth Factors


Adoption of IoT in Automatic Identification System to Boost Market Growth


The key players involved in the advancement of vessel tracking and monitoring technology are anticipating the future of intelligent global ocean trade and supply chains, utilizing satellite AIS, Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, and Big Data to provide unmatched levels of visibility and control. The Internet of Things (IoT) represents the upcoming era of internet connectivity based on the Internet Protocol (IP). It allows the automated use of data generated by sensors or devices that are connected to wired communication networks. Due to the growing need for more effective decision-making systems as to what course of action to take in any given situation, AIS will play a vital role in marine IoT in general. Therefore, higher growth numbers are expected during the forecast period. For instance,



  • BigOceanData has taken the lead in enabling AIS transmissions to carry data from more than one source, and its ability to fuse data from other systems, such as SSAS and Inmarsat-C that transmit data via low-orbit satellites, AIS as a critical system onboard any IoT vessel, and manned or autonomous, will be at the core of the IoT network.


Growth in International Seaborne Trade to Propel Market Growth


UNCTAD’s Maritime Transport Report 2020 projected that maritime trade growth would expand by 4.8% in 2021. The merchant ships are majorly used for seaborne trade. Asia Pacific is the largest seaborne trading region. In 2019, Asian seaports handled 6.9 billion tons of goods unloaded and 4.5 billion tons of goods loaded. Asian countries, such as China, Japan, and South Korea, have emerged as the leading countries in the shipbuilding sector. The automatic Identification system is the essential system of the naval ships. Thus, the expansion of naval sector due to growing international seaborne trade activities propels the market's growth during the forecast period.



  • In November 2021, UNCTAD predicted that annual growth in maritime trade between 2022 and 2026 would slow to 2.4%, compared to 2.9% over the past two decades. The COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on maritime trade volumes in 2020 was less than initially expected, but its knock-on effects will be far-reaching and could transform maritime transport.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Cybersecurity Threats to Hamper the Market Growth
