DataM Intelligence has published its latest report, “Shipbuilding Anti-Vibration Market Size, Share, Industry Forecast & Outlook (2024-2031),” revealing steady growth in the market for systems and materials designed to reduce vibration and noise aboard ships. With a market attracted by stricter maritime noise/vibration regulations, luxury standards in passenger vessels, and rising shipbuilding activity globally, the market is estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 4.80%. Regions like North America currently hold the largest share, while the Asia-Pacific region is poised as the fastest-growing market owing to expanding shipyards, increasing cruise ship deployment, and demand for comfort in recreational vessels.

Market Segmentation Insights

The market is segmented by product (mounts, bearing pads, bellows, washers, others), function (engine vibration; HVAC vibration; generators & pumps; others), material (elastomer, plastic, others), application (tugs, yachts, fishing boats, motorboats, sailboats, cruise ships, container ships, oil tankers, bulk carriers, and more), and region (North America; Latin America; Europe; Asia-Pacific; Middle East & Africa). Among product types, mounts and bearing pads are particularly important, offering vibration isolation for machinery and structural protection. In function, HVAC vibration is growing fast in importance given its role in on-board comfort, especially for cruise ships and yachts. Materials like elastomers continue to be favored for their damping properties, while plastics and hybrid materials are gaining traction in lighter-weight or cost-sensitive applications.

Regional Insights

  • North America leads today, supported by mature naval and commercial shipping industries, high regulatory standards for safety and comfort, and investment in retrofitting older vessels.

  • Asia-Pacific is projected to grow fastest, driven by rising shipbuilding capacity in countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India, along with growing demand for cruise ships and leisure vessels.

  • Europe remains important, especially for luxury and passenger ships, and where regulations around noise and vibration (both for environmental reasons and passenger comfort) are stricter. Middle East & Africa and Latin America are emerging regions, though their growth is more variable depending on shipyard activity, trade flows, and regional regulation.

Industry Trends & Recent Developments (2025)

  • In April 2025, the U.S. shipbuilding sector saw valuation of its anti-vibration market at about USD 0.61 billion, with expectations to reach approximately USD 0.92 billion by 2032, driven by orders for naval vessels and heightened demand for commercial ship comfort.

  • A major U.S. engineering company expanded its portfolio by acquiring a specialist in vibration control systems, enabling faster retrofit and installation of anti-vibration mounts across both civilian and defense vessels.

  • Japanese manufacturers are collaborating with global firms to co-develop next-generation anti-vibration systems, especially for high-speed ferries and cruise ships, targeting both reduced noise and compliance with environmental standards.

  • Development of modular mount systems in 2025 continues, allowing easier installation, maintenance, and retrofitting. These systems are designed to be lighter, more durable, and better suited for complex ship designs.

Competitive Landscape

The shipbuilding anti-vibration market is competitive but somewhat specialized. Key global players include Trelleborg AB, Parker LORD, Hutchinson Paulstra, GMT Rubber-Metal-Technic Ltd., Continental, AMC Mecanocaucho, Getzner Werkstoffe GmbH, Vibracoustics Ltd, Angst + Pfister, and Bridgestone Industrial. These companies are differentiating through innovations in material science, improved damping performance, modularity of mounts and isolation systems, better cost-efficiency, and meeting tighter regulatory or customer standards. Some are forming partnerships (e.g., shipbuilders, naval contractors) to embed anti-vibration solutions earlier in vessel design.

Strategic Outlook

Looking ahead through 2031, market growth will be shaped by several factors: rising passenger expectations for comfort (especially noise and vibration reduction), increasing regulatory pressure on marine environmental noise and vibration emissions, retrofitting older vessels, lightweight materials, and modular systems for ease of design and cost. Additionally, innovations in predictive maintenance, IoT-based monitoring of vibration, and integration of anti-vibration solutions early in ship design will become more widespread.

Research Process

This report is built on a blend of primary research (interviews with shipbuilders, naval architects, vibration-control specialists, marine equipment manufacturers) and secondary research (company filings, trade data, regulatory sources, industry reports). Forecasting used both top-down and bottom-up methods to ensure accuracy. Key segments, regional breakdowns, market drivers and restraints have been validated with industry experts.
