Global Azimuth and Tunnel Thrusters Market Outlook 2022

An azimuth thruster is a configuration of marine propellers placed in pods that can be rotated to any horizontal angle (azimuth), making a rudder unnecessary. These give ships better maneuverability than a fixed propeller and rudder system.
Tunnel thrusters are installed in the bow or stern in order to improve docking, slow speed maneuvering, emergency steering and station keeping at zero or slow forward speed.
In the global azimuth and tunnel thruster market, China is the largest consumer, accounting for about 27% of the market share, followed by Japan and South Korea, each accounting for 19% and 18%.
The main manufacturers are Kawasaki, Wärtsilä Corporation, SCOTTEL Group, Kongsberg and Brunvoll, of which Kawasaki is the largest manufacturer, accounting for about 18%.
