DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Europe High-torque Synchronous Motor Market for Marine by Application, Vessel Type, Torque and Power - Regional Forecast to 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Europe high-torque synchronous motor market for marine is expected to grow from USD 790.9 million in 2025 to USD 1.16 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.1%.

The report provides comprehensive insights into the Europe high-torque synchronous motor market for marine, beginning with an analysis of key drivers such as the rise in mega-ships due to expanding global trade, increasing marine passenger traffic and tourism, and strategic fleet renewal initiatives. It offers an in-depth look at product development and innovation by companies across various countries, along with detailed market development insights highlighting lucrative regional opportunities.

The report also covers market diversification, offering exhaustive information on new solutions, untapped geographies, recent developments, and investment trends. A thorough competitive assessment is included, evaluating the market shares, growth strategies, and product portfolios of key players such as ABB (Switzerland), Nidec Corporation (France), WEG (Brazil), Danfoss (Denmark), and VEM GmbH (Germany).

This growth is primarily driven by the increasing demand for high-efficiency, low-maintenance drive solutions across marine applications. Operators are replacing legacy systems with modern high-torque synchronous motors to comply with EU energy efficiency standards and enhance operational performance. The market is also supported by consistent growth in shipbuilding and smart manufacturing facilities across the region. The emphasis on electrification and the need for precise torque control and automation continue to drive investment in advanced high-torque synchronous motor technologies throughout Europe.

Commercial vessels are projected to be the largest platform in the Europe high-torque synchronous motor market for marine during the forecast period.

Across Europe, major manufacturers and integrators are increasingly focused on advancing high-torque synchronous motor solutions tailored for commercial vessels, aiming to capture emerging opportunities in marine electrification. The transformation of maritime logistics, including digital port infrastructure and green shipping corridors, is driving the need for reliable, high-efficiency motor systems to support large-scale cargo and passenger operations.

Regulatory frameworks such as the EU Green Deal and IMO emissions mandates are pushing commercial fleet operators to adopt high-torque synchronous motors that ensure greater propulsion efficiency and lower lifecycle emissions. With a strong focus on vessel automation, energy savings, and onboard equipment modernization, high-torque synchronous motors are widely used in propulsion drives, deck machinery, and power management systems. Their role in improving vessel performance, fuel economy, and operational reliability positions commercial vessels as the primary growth segment in the Europe high-torque synchronous motor market.

Propulsion is expected to hold the second-largest share in the Europe high-torque synchronous motor market for marine by application.

Advancements in electric and hybrid propulsion technologies across the maritime sector have led to increased adoption of high-torque synchronous motors in propulsion applications. These motors deliver high efficiency, precise torque control, and low maintenance, making them well-suited for vessel propulsion applications ranging from ferries to defense vessels.

The rising focus on decarbonization and compliance with IMO emission standards is encouraging shipowners and operators to replace conventional systems with electric propulsion configurations powered by high-torque synchronous motors. Their ability to operate effectively at variable loads and in harsh marine environments supports this trend. In addition, the integration of high-torque synchronous motors with energy storage systems and smart power distribution networks enhances overall propulsion system performance. As commercial fleets modernize and new vessel builds prioritize sustainable propulsion solutions, the demand for high-torque synchronous motors in this segment continues to expand steadily across Europe.

Netherlands is expected to dominate the Europe high-torque synchronous motor market for marine during the forecast period.

The Netherlands is expected to be at the forefront of the Europe high-torque synchronous motor market for marine, driven by its cutting-edge shipbuilding industry, robust port infrastructure, and focus on maritime electrification. The country's well-established motor makers and marine system integrators ecosystem facilitate ongoing innovation of high-efficiency, high-torque synchronous motor solutions suited for propulsion, deck machinery, and other uses.

Dutch yards and engineering companies are continuously retrofitting older commercial fleets and offshore platforms to meet EU energy efficiency and emissions rules, stimulating steady demand for high-torque synchronous motor retrofits. At the same time, newbuild contracts increasingly call for synchronous motors in anticipation of their high-torque output, minimal maintenance requirements, and hybrid-electric configuration compatibility. Cross-industry R&D schemes and public-private partnerships for green shipping and smart maritime systems also benefit the Netherlands. These, combined with manufacturing capacity for export orientation, strengthen the country's leadership in the Europe high-torque synchronous motor market for marine.
