It has a streamlined hull, which helps it move through the water with high speed and efficiency. The shallow autonomous underwater vehicle market is expected to grow at a significant rate owing to its use in various applications such as oil exploration, hydrography, oceanography and others.
Medium AUVs (depth up to 1000 m):
The global medium AUVs (depth up to 1000 m) and it's usage in Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) market size was valued at USD 4.0 billion in 2016 and is expected to witness a CAGR of XX% from 2017 to 2022.
Application Insights:
The military and defense segment dominated the global autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The oil and gas industry is also expected to be a lucrative segment over the forecast period. AUVs are widely used by the oil and gas industry for various applications such as cable-laying, inspection, cleaning operations, etc. They are also used by governments for intelligence gathering activities at sea or along shorelines. Environmental protection and monitoring is another key application area where AUVs are extensively utilized owing to their ability to monitor large areas of water simultaneously while operating at depths below the surface film.
Regional Analysis:
The North American regional market dominated the global autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) industry in terms of revenue share in 2016. The growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for AUVs from military and defense applications, oil & gas exploration, and oceanography. Moreover, technological advancements such as high-definition cameras coupled with advanced sensors on board are expected to drive the demand for AUVs over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness significant growth over a CAGR exceeding 17% during the forecast period owing to rising government initiatives pertaining marine technology development along with increasing investments by private companies in developing countries such as China and India. For instance, Oceanology Department of Chinese University of Hong Kong has developed a research vessel named Hong Kong SST using an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). This vessel is used for conducting research activities related sea cucumber trade etc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for AUVs from the defense sector for maritime security and surveillance
- Growing popularity of AUVs among commercial users for offshore oil and gas exploration and production
- Rising investments in R&D to develop advanced features and capabilities in AUVs
- Proliferation of low-cost AUVs owing to the increasing adoption of 3D printing technology
- Emergence of new applications for AUVs in areas such as environmental monitoring, oceanography, archaeology, etc
