Europe Wind-Assisted Propulsion Market to Reach $21,586.85 Million by 2034 – BIS Research

What Is the Market Outlook? 

Europe is emerging as a global hub for wind-assisted propulsion, bolstered by regulatory frameworks like the IMO's EEXI and CII, the EU’s Emission Trading System (ETS), and incentives at ports. Technology adoption is accelerating across both retrofits and new builds, with a particular focus on short-sea shipping and bulk carriers. 

How Fast Is the Market Growing? 

According to BIS Research, the Europe wind-assisted propulsion market is expected to leap from $96.98 million in 2024 to a massive $21,586.85 million by 2034, at a CAGR of 71.69%. The growth is driven by stringent decarbonization targets, growing fuel volatility, and the maritime sector’s increasing preference for sustainable technologies.
