Underwater
Robotics Market Segment Analysis - by Product Type
Based on Product Type, the Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) segment in the Underwater
Robotics Market report is analyzed to grow with the highest CAGR of 12.8%
during the forecast period 2022-2027. The increasing demand for deep-sea
exploration in oceanography is primarily driving the demand for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV). For
instance, in July 2020, the French National Institute for Ocean Science
selected iXblue’s subsea technology for 6000-meter autonomous underwater
vehicles (AUV) for their ultra-deep-water surveys and research-related
work. Such an increase in commercial uses
of these vehicles from scientists and marine experts across the globe fosters segment growth and thereby increases the Underwater Robotics Market size.
Underwater
Robotics Market Segment Analysis - by End-use Industry
Based on End-use Industry, the defense and security industry in the Underwater
Robotics Market report is analyzed to grow with the highest CAGR of 13% during
the forecast period 2022-2027. Growing concerns about maritime terrorism and piracy
have greatly influenced the demand for underwater robotics in the defense and
security industry. As a result, more underwater drones and hybrid underwater vehicles are readily being deployed
to prevent these threats and improve maritime security. In FY
2021, the U.S. Navy was allocated a budget of US$579.9 million for its
operations. The navy accelerated its acquisition strategies for the faster
purchase of underwater drones and hybrid underwater vehicles to counter major
maritime attacks.
Underwater Robotics Market Segment Analysis - by Geography
APAC dominated the global market for Underwater Robotics Market with a market share of 35% in 2021. It is also analyzed to have significant growth over the forecasting period. This growth can be attributed to growing underwater exploration for minerals, growing demand for offshore oil and gas exploration and increasing R&D investments by the government and major manufacturers toward advanced underwater robotics for improving maritime security. For instance, in September 2021, the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington announced US$11.3 million to the Boeing Defense, Space & Security segment in Huntington Beach, Calif., for engineering support services in support of the Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (XLUUV) program. These developments would strengthen North America’s presence in the Underwater Robotics Market size.
Underwater Robotics Market Drivers
Widespread applications of underwater autonomous robotics:
Advanced Underwater Robotics has become a crucial part of maritime security. These Remotely Operated Vehicles [ROV] are also being used in deep-sea exploration projects by scientists. Underwater drones and hybrid underwater vehicles are capable of long-range endurance attacks and surveillance operations. Additionally, integrating artificial intelligence with underwater inspection robots and self-operating underwater visual inspection robots would enhance real-time communication, undersea strikes, fully autonomous navigation and surveys. For instance, in February 2020, the Indian National Institute of Ocean Technology signed a contract with KONGSBERG to procure the HUGIN AUV systems. The system has an operating depth of 6000 meters and is equipped with KONGSBERG HISAS 1032 synthetic aperture sensor and EM2040 multi-beam echo sounder which makes it a great choice for hydrographic and seabed classification applications. These widespread applications of underwater autonomous robotics are positively influencing the Underwater Robotics industry outlook during the forecast period.
Continuous government support for increasing maritime security:
Maritime terrorism and piracy are
major concerns and threats to global shipping, imposing substantial economic
costs. These sea smugglings and maritime terrorism create significant threats
to maritime security. As a result, governments across the globe are taking
initiatives to prevent such attacks by adopting advanced underwater
robotics which in turn boosts the growth of the Underwater Robotics market. In May
2021, the government of Germany allocated US$14.5 million as part of the
Maritime Research Program which would effectively increase maritime security
by developing an underwater autonomous robotics system. Additionally, in
December 2020, South Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration signed
a contract worth US$11 million with LIG Nex1 to develop autonomous Underwater
Robots which would be able to perform precise navigation and improve their
maritime security.
Underwater Robotics Market Challenges
Less reliability and uncertainty in operational performance:
Underwater Robots such as underwater
inspection robots, self-operating underwater visual inspection robots and underwater intervention drones are equipped with multiple sensors and
navigation systems hardware connected to signal transmission for real-time
communication and data gathering. Communication and signal transmission are the
major problems due to the distortion of transmission under the water. Acoustic
signals move slower than radio signals thus it reduces reliability and causes
operational failure in many applications requiring real-time information. These
factors are severely hampering the Underwater Robotics Market growth during the
forecast period.
