“Autonomous underwater vehicle market is expected to grow at a significant rate
The autonomous underwater vehicle market is expected to grow from USD 362.5 million in 2023 to USD 1,206.9 million by 2033, at a CAGR of 22.20% during the forecast period. The increasing demand for AUVs worldwide for monitoring sea borders and for various applications in the oil & gas industries is driving the growth of the autonomous underwater vehicle market. However, stringent government regulations on using AUVs in countries such as the US and high costs of operations are restraining the growth of the market.
“AUV market for archeological and exploration applications is likely to grow at a high rate
Among all applications, the autonomous underwater vehicle market for archeological and exploration applications is expected to grow at the highest rate. AUVs are widely used as an important tool for underwater exploration activities to extract minerals such as cobalt, zinc, and magnesium; these minerals are used in the fabrication of smartphones, laptops, and hybrid cars, among others. However, military & defense applications are expected to hold the largest share of the autonomous underwater vehicle market in 2017.
“AUV market for imaging technology is estimated to grow at a high rate
Imaging systems on AUVs are capable of capturing pictures of the seabed and the surrounding habitat, which help researchers in their oceanography or habitat research studies. Along with this, the growing awareness about the ability of these imaging systems to provide exact information, such as color and size of objects present in the area under survey, is one of the key factors contributing to the growth of the market for imaging technology.
“North America is a major market for AUVs”
North America held the largest share of the autonomous underwater vehicle market in 2016. North America is home to some of the major players in the autonomous underwater vehicle market such as Boston Engineering Corporation (US), Bluefin Robotics (US), Teledyne Technologies (US), L3 OceanServer (US), and International Submarine Engineering Limited (Canada). Also, the increasing adoption of AUVs for military & defense applications in the US is driving the growth of the AUV market in North America. However, among all the applications, the autonomous underwater vehicle market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest rate.
