What have been the primary factors driving the maritime simulators market’s growth?
The increasing focus on maritime safety is expected to propel the growth of the maritime simulators market going forward. The increasing focus on maritime safety is driven by the need to minimize accidents, protect lives, prevent environmental disasters, and comply with stringent international safety regulations. Maritime accidents can result in significant financial and environmental damage. Simulators enable risk-free training for emergency scenarios, improving crew preparedness and reducing the likelihood of human error. For instance, in May 2023, according to a report published by DNV, GL., a Norway-based risk management company, in 2022, the total number of safety incidents involving vessels exceeding 100 gross tons rose to 2,615, reflecting a 9% increase compared to the previous year. Therefore, increasing focus on maritime safety is driving growth in the maritime simulators market.
