High raw material prices due to inflation have increased operating costs for manufacturers. Strict environmental regulations on emissions from ships pose technical challenges to develop new eco-friendly thruster designs. Declining global trade volumes have postponed new ship building plans, reducing immediate demand. Geopolitical tensions in some Asian and European markets have made certain regions risky for expansion.
