||||||
由於水路交通日益普及,有助於緩解城市擁擠、減少排放並改善城市交通狀況,全球水上巴士市場呈現強勁的成長動能。根據2024年的研究,預計2024年市場規模將達到11.9億美元,2025年將增加至12.4億美元,到2032年將達到17.1億美元。這一穩定成長意味著2025年至2032年的複合年增長率(CAGR)為4.73%,反映出對永續海上交通的投資不斷增長。歐洲在全球市場中佔領先地位,2024年市佔率達到52.1%,這得益於其廣泛的水路網絡、有利的環境政策和強大的公共交通網絡。
水上巴士(也稱為公共水上交通)依照固定路線和時刻表運行,為河流、湖泊、運河和沿海地區提供高效且經濟的交通方式。其應用範圍廣泛,涵蓋城市通勤、島際旅行、觀光、校車和環境監測等領域。人們對低排放和暢通無阻的交通方式日益增長的興趣,正在加速水上巴士在全球的普及。
市場成長推動因素
水上巴士服務的擴張得益於環境法規和減排措施的日益普及。阿姆斯特丹、威尼斯、鹿特丹和斯德哥爾摩等城市正在擴大其電動和混合動力船隊,以減少對柴油船舶的依賴。包括國際海事組織 (IMO) 在內的全球海事組織不斷收緊排放標準,促使製造商開發採用更清潔推進系統的水上巴士,例如電動馬達、混合動力引擎和水翼系統。
政府的激勵措施、補貼和城市層面的海洋發展計畫正在推動基礎設施升級和船舶採購。歐盟的 "綠色協議" 倡議以及荷蘭和斯堪的納維亞國家的國家清潔水道計畫正在提振需求。同時,歐洲部分地區引入的自動駕駛和半自動駕駛水上巴士顯示了技術的快速發展,從而提高了效率、降低了營運成本並提高了航行安全性。
市場限制因子
儘管成長前景可觀,但高昂的初始資本投資仍是主要阻礙因素。建造水上巴士網路需要在船舶採購、繫泊設施、充電站和維護設施方面投入大量資金。建立一條水上巴士線路的成本可能高達傳統公路巴士網絡的三倍,這使得財政拮据的市政當局難以實施。此外,滿足安全和環境法規的要求推高了製造成本,而缺乏標準化的繫泊基礎設施則使規模化變得複雜。這些因素共同限制了發展中地區的擴張。
市場機會
將水上巴士系統融入智慧城市規劃蘊藏著巨大的成長潛力。世界各地的城市都在其多式聯運網路中增加水上交通,以透過即時追蹤、行動購票、乘客分析和整合交通應用程式來提升用戶體驗。旅遊業的成長也推動了對水上巴士的需求,尤其是在擁有迷人濱水區的城市。許多地區正在引入電動或混合動力水上巴士,以提高永續性並實現清潔交通目標。對智慧停靠站、大容量充電埠和自動導航系統的持續投資進一步增強了市場潛力。
市場挑戰
營運限制仍然是一項挑戰,因為水上巴士服務高度依賴天氣狀況、潮汐波動和水位。季節性乾旱和洪水會中斷航線並導致可靠性問題。安全法規通常要求在暴風雨、大霧和惡劣海況下暫停營運。淺吃水船體和水翼系統等技術進步有助於緩解這些挑戰,但代價是增加了資本成本。
歐洲仍是領先地區,2024 年全球市場價值達 6.2 億美元。荷蘭、義大利、英國和德國長期營運的水上巴士網路鞏固了其領先地位。預計到 2025 年,英國市場規模將達到 1.8 億美元,德國和法國預計將分別達到 1.2 億美元和 1 億美元。
北美是成長速度第二快的地區,預計到 2025 年市場規模將達到 2.8 億美元,主要得益於濱水區開發和日益增強的環保意識。預計到2025年,光是美國市場規模就將達到2.4億美元。
亞太地區預計到2025年將達到2.3億美元,受益於快速的都市化、旅遊業成長以及政府主導的綠色交通措施。中國預計到2025年將達到1.4億美元,而印度和日本預計都將達到3,000萬美元。
包括拉丁美洲、非洲和中東在內的世界其他地區,預計到2025年將達到9,000萬美元,這得益於試點計畫和不斷擴大的濱水區開發。
The global water bus market is witnessing strong momentum as urban centers increasingly adopt water-based transportation to reduce congestion, cut emissions, and enhance mobility. According to the 2024 assessment, the market size reached USD 1.19 billion in 2024 and is expected to rise to USD 1.24 billion in 2025, before reaching USD 1.71 billion by 2032. This steady expansion represents a CAGR of 4.73% during 2025-2032, reflecting growing investment in sustainable marine mobility. Europe dominated the global landscape with a 52.1% market share in 2024, supported by extensive waterways, favorable environmental policies, and strong public transit networks.
Water buses-often described as waterborne public transport-operate on fixed routes and schedules, providing efficient and affordable mobility across rivers, lakes, canals, and coastal zones. Their applications range from urban commuting to inter-island travel, tourism, school transport, and environmental monitoring. Growing interest in low-emission transportation and congestion-free mobility is accelerating the adoption of water buses worldwide.
Market Growth Drivers
Expansion of water bus services is being driven by increasing adoption of environmental regulations and emissions-reduction initiatives. Cities such as Amsterdam, Venice, Rotterdam, and Stockholm are expanding electric and hybrid fleets to reduce reliance on diesel-powered vessels. Global maritime organizations, including the International Maritime Organization (IMO), continue to tighten emission standards, prompting manufacturers to develop water buses with cleaner propulsion such as electric motors, hybrid engines, and hydrofoil-supported systems.
Government incentives, subsidies, and city-level maritime development programs are boosting infrastructure upgrades and vessel procurement. The European Union's Green Deal initiatives and nationwide clean-waterway programs across the Netherlands and Scandinavian countries are strengthening demand. Meanwhile, the launch of autonomous and semi-autonomous water buses in parts of Europe showcases the rapid technological evolution, enabling improved efficiency, lower operational costs, and safer navigation.
Market Restraints
Despite promising growth, high initial capital investment remains a major restraint. Establishing a water bus network requires significant expenditure for vessel procurement, docking infrastructure, charging stations, and maintenance facilities. The cost of setting up a water bus route can be up to three times higher than that of a traditional road-based bus network, making it difficult for financially constrained municipalities to adopt these systems. Additionally, safety and environmental compliance requirements increase manufacturing costs, while lack of standardized docking infrastructure complicates scalability. These factors collectively limit expansion across developing regions.
Market Opportunities
Integration of water bus systems with smart city planning presents a lucrative growth opportunity. Cities worldwide are adding water transport to their multimodal mobility networks, using real-time tracking, mobile ticketing, passenger analytics, and integrated transport apps to improve user experience. Growing tourism is also fueling demand for water buses, especially in cities with attractive waterfronts. Many regions are deploying electric or hybrid water buses to enhance sustainability and meet clean-transportation targets. Ongoing investments in smart docking stations, high-capacity charging ports, and autonomous navigation systems further strengthen market potential.
Market Challenges
Operational constraints remain a challenge, as water bus services depend heavily on weather conditions, tidal variations, and water levels. Seasonal droughts or floods can disrupt routes, creating reliability issues. Safety regulations often require suspension of services during storms, fog, or rough water conditions. Although technological advancements such as shallow-draft hulls and hydrofoil systems help mitigate these challenges, they increase capital costs.
Europe remained the dominant region in 2024, contributing USD 0.62 billion of the global market value. Long-standing water bus networks in the Netherlands, Italy, the U.K., and Germany support its leadership. In 2025, the U.K. is expected to reach USD 0.18 billion, while Germany and France are projected at USD 0.12 billion and USD 0.10 billion respectively.
North America is the second-fastest-growing region, expected to reach USD 0.28 billion in 2025, driven by waterfront development and rising environmental awareness. The U.S. market alone is projected to hit USD 0.24 billion in 2025.
Asia Pacific, projected at USD 0.23 billion in 2025, is benefiting from rapid urbanization, growing tourism, and government-led green transport initiatives. China is expected to reach USD 0.14 billion in 2025, while India and Japan are each projected at USD 0.03 billion.
The Rest of the World region, including Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East, is forecast at USD 0.09 billion in 2025, supported by pilot projects and expanding waterfront development.
Competitive Landscape
Key companies such as Damen Shipyards Group, Austal, Incat Crowther, Artemis Technologies, Hyke, and Icarus Marine are investing in hybrid and electric vessels, smart navigation systems, and fuel-efficient designs. Recent developments, such as South Korea's 2025 launch of hybrid water buses and new services in Canada and the Netherlands, reflect accelerating innovation.
