The advancements in GPS technology has boosted the demand. In addition, the increasing demand for recreational activities such as hiking, fishing, and other outdoor recreational activities is propelling the industrial demand for accurate navigation systems using repeater compasses. The replacement of outdated repeater compasses installed on military vessels and aircraft is further expected to supplement the market growth.

Increasing maritime tourism and recreational boating activities:

The repeater compass market is experiencing growth due to the increasing popularity of maritime tourism and recreational boating. As disposable incomes rise, more people are engaging in activities like yachting, boating, cruising, and sailing. This has led to a higher demand for navigation systems, including repeater compasses, on leisure boats and passenger ships. Advanced repeater compasses offer heading data on multiple displays for convenience and safety, and their adoption is rising, especially in luxury boats and cruise liners. For example, in May 2022, a collaborative effort involving various organizations aims to develop an environmental certification tailored for the nautical tourism sector. This initiative aligns with goals outlined in the European Green Deal and U.N. sustainable development goals, aiming to promote responsible management of recreational boating and nautical tourism. The project will be highlighted during an upcoming workshop on the European Maritime Day, emphasizing the significance of the boating industry to EU policymakers.

The surge in both the volume and value of seaborne trade is a key driver propelling the repeater compass market growth. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), merchant ships contribute significantly, accounting for over 80% of the global trade volume. The increasing emphasis on enhancing navigation and safety for cargo ships, driven by rising exports, is fueling the adoption of advanced instruments like gyrocompasses. Repeater compasses play a crucial role in this scenario by providing redundant heading information, enabling more efficient monitoring of cargo conditions. This redundancy contributes to the overall safety and reliability of maritime operations. Moreover, the ongoing development of autonomous and unmanned vessels is further amplifying the market potential for repeater compasses.

Autonomous ship systems necessitate inputs from various reliable sensors, cameras, and navigational tools for effective situational analysis and decision-making. In response to this demand, developers are integrating repeater compasses into their autonomous controllers to enhance precision and reliability.
