Vessel Traffic Management Market Competition Ranking, Market Size, Market Share, Forecast Report 2026-2032

On Dec 23, Global Info Research released "Global Vessel Traffic Management Market 2026 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2032". This report includes an overview of the development of the Vessel Traffic Management industry chain, the market status of Vessel Traffic Management Market, and key enterprises in developed and developing market, and analysed the cutting-edge technology, patent, hot applications and market trends of Vessel Traffic Management.

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Vessel Traffic Management market size was valued at US$ 481 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD million by 2032 with a CAGR of % during review period.
Vessel Traffic Management is a marine traffic monitoring system established by harbour or port authorities, similar to air traffic control for aircraft. Typical VTS systems use radar, closed-circuit television (CCTV), VHF radiotelephony and automatic identification system to keep track of vessel movements and provide navigational safety in a limited geographical area.
Global Vessel Traffic Management key players include Kongsberg Gruppen, Transas, Thales Group, etc. Asia-Pacific is the largest market, with a share about 35%, followed by Europe and North America, both have a share about 45 percent. In terms of product, TOS is the largest segment, with a share over 55%. And in terms of application, the largest application is Coastal Management, followed by Port Management.
The main drivers of the Vessel Traffic Management (VTS) market include:
Core drivers
1. Globalized trade and port traffic growth
International trade expansion: The global cargo trade volume continues to grow (e.g., it is expected to reach 19.6 trillion US dollars in 2024), which drives up the traffic density of ports and waterways, and requires VTS to improve efficiency and safety.
Port construction in emerging markets: Port modernization projects in Southeast Asia (such as Vietnam and Indonesia) and Africa (such as Kenya and Egypt) have surged, and the demand for supporting VTS is strong.
2. Technology upgrade and digitalization trend
Smart shipping technology:
AIS and radar integration: real-time tracking of ship positions to reduce collision risks.
AI and big data analysis: predict traffic flow and optimize waterway use (such as the AI scheduling system of the Port of Rotterdam).
Unmanned ships and automation: remote-controlled ships require VTS to provide high-precision navigation support.
5G and the Internet of Things: improve data transmission speed and support real-time decision-making (such as the 5G-VTS pilot in the Port of Singapore).
3. Stricter safety and environmental regulations
IMO mandatory requirements:
SOLAS Convention: Force ships to install AIS and promote VTS system upgrades.
Carbon emission restrictions: VTS reduces fuel consumption by optimizing waterways and helps environmental protection goals.
Accident liability and insurance: Ports need VTS data to prove compliance and reduce legal risks.
4. Geopolitical and security challenges
Piracy and regional conflicts: VTS needs to strengthen monitoring in high-risk areas such as the Gulf of Aden and the Strait of Malacca (such as the EU's "Poseidon Project").
Demand for border control: Coastal countries use VTS to monitor illegal immigration and smuggling activities (such as Mediterranean coastal countries).
5. Climate change and waterway changes
Arctic route development: Global warming has extended the navigation time of the Arctic route, and VTS needs to adapt to the polar environment (such as the construction of VTS in the Northern Sea Route of Russia).
Extreme weather response: VTS helps ships avoid storms (such as the Gulf of Mexico in the hurricane season) through real-time meteorological data.
6. Cost optimization and efficiency improvement
Port congestion relief: VTS reduces ship waiting time through dynamic scheduling (e.g. VTS optimization at the Port of Los Angeles reduces berthing time by 20%).
Resource integration: Multinational VTS systems are interconnected (e.g. Nordic VTS Alliance), and data sharing reduces operating costs.
