Technavio announces top seven vendors in the global marine propulsion engine market from 2016 to 2020

technavioTechnavio announced the top seven leading vendors in their recent global marine propulsion engine market report. This research report also lists 14 other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.

Competitive vendor landscape
The global marine propulsion engine market is moderately fragmented, with a clear dominance of the large international players. The market is highly capital-intensive, and therefore, it poses a stiff challenge to the local players.
Faced with stringent regulations for diesel engines, marine propulsion engine manufacturers are now inclined towards the design and development of engines that run on alternative fuels such as bio-methane and algal oils. Dual fuel engines that use both diesel and natural gas to reduce emissions are increasingly gaining importance. “Dual fuel marine propulsion engines are extensively used as prime movers in LNG carriers to encourage the use of natural gas,” says Anju Ajaykumar, a lead engineering tools analyst from Technavio.
