The North America vessel monitoring system market is expected to grow from US$ 153.89 million in 2019 to US$ 413.18 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 13.5% from 2020 to 2027.
One of the primary applications of the vessel monitoring systems (VMS) is to monitor the action and movement of a vessel. The VMS also enables fishing vessel to report catch; as per regulation in North America, these vessels are required to report about the data of weekly catch and transshipment, catch on entry and catch on exit, and port of landing, etc. The North American governments are also providing various monetary and nonmonetary incentives in the form of reduced taxes, relaxed regulation and reporting norms, and complete business ownerships. VMS is presently a standard system for monitoring and controlling fisheries across North America. According to the legislation, it is a must for all the North American countries to set up a compatible and standardized system, so that these countries can share the data and commission or officers can monitor it effectively.
The rising number of applications in fisheries is expected to create significant demand for VMS in North America which will drive the North America vessel monitoring system market growth. Also, the growing necessity for tracking devices due to unauthorized activities is among the other factors that are expected to contribute to the demand for these systems in the region hence driving the North America vessel monitoring system market.
Moreover, the US is the worst-hit country in North America by the COVID-19 outbreak, with millions of infected individuals facing severe health conditions across the country. The continuous growth in the number of infected individuals has led the government to impose lockdown across the states and the national borders. The majority of the manufacturing plants are either temporarily shut or operating with minimum staff; the supply chain of components and parts is disrupted which has impacted the North America vessel monitoring system market negatively. The COVID-19 pandemic is anticipated to have severe impact on the North America vessel monitoring market in 2020, which is further likely to continue in 2021.
Based on application, the fisheries management segment led the North America vessel monitoring system market in 2019. One of VMS 's key applications is tracking a vessel's movement and motion. In addition, VMS also assists fishing vessels in reporting catches. Fisheries management also includes fisheries research and analysis. By doing research and analysis fisheries manager can estimate the amount of a fish in an area. The rising need for fisheries management due to growing illegal trading and monitoring is expected to increase the demand for VMS in the coming years, which would boost the North America vessel monitoring system market growth in the future.
