Market Overview:
The global underwater wireless communication (UWC) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for UWC systems from various end-use applications, such as oil & gas, military & defense, scientific research & development, marine and others. Additionally, the growing trend of miniaturization is also contributing significantly to the growth of this market. On the basis of type, acoustic communications held a major share of the global UWC market in 2017 and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its advantages such as low installation cost and easy deployment when compared with optical and RF communications systems. However, optical communications are expected to witness high growth rates during the forecast period owing to their advantages such as high data rate transmission capabilities and immunity against electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Product Definition:
Underwater wireless communication (UWC) is a technology used to communicate underwater. It is important for naval operations, oceanographic research, and other activities that require communication with submerged vessels or devices.
Acoustic Communications:
Acoustic communications is a system used for transferring information in the form of sound signals. The underwater wireless communication market is expected to grow at a significant rate owing to increasing demand for UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) and rising defense expenditure by countries across the globe. acoustic communications are widely used in military applications such as intelligence, surveillance & reconnaissance (ISR), electronic warfare, and anti-submarine warfare among others.
Optical Communications:
Optical communications is a set of procedures that use light waves for transmitting information. It is used in various applications such as fiber optics, remote sensing, and communication satellites. The technology has been around for decades; however, it has undergone a transformation with the advent of modern fiber-optic cables and equipment.
Application Insights:
The oil & gas segment dominated the global underwater wireless communication market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The growth can be attributed to the rising demand for under-water acoustic communications and optical communications for exploration and production activities. Furthermore, military & defense is expected to emerge as the fastest growing application segment over the forecast period owing to increasing maritime tensions across various regions coupled with a rise in defense investments by countries such as China and India.
UWC systems are increasingly being deployed for scientific research & development, marine applications, including hydrographic surveys, cable repair operations, pipeline inspection tasks along with other Underwater Acoustic Devices (UDs) or Optical Fiber Sensors (OFS), which include sidescan sonar imaging systems used for hull inspection or fish tracking purposes on a vessel at sea.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region has been witnessing rapid developments in marine, underwater acoustics, optical communication technologies for military and defense applications. Moreover, increasing oil & gas exploration activities are also expected to drive regional growth over the next eight years.
The Asia Pacific UWC market was followed by North America with a share of around 25% in 2017 owing to growing demand from various application areas such as oil & gas exploration and other industries that use acoustic or RF communications underwater. Europe is anticipated to be one of the promising regions due to increasing R&D investments by major countries such as Germany for developing advanced undersea systems for communication purposes coupled with rising awareness about marine technology among tourists will have a positive impact on industry growth over the coming years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for underwater wireless communication in defense and commercial sectors
- Growing popularity of UWC systems owing to their advantages over traditional wired systems
- Proliferation of smart devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to drive the market growth
- Rising number of maritime accidents and need for effective communication system in rescue operations is propelling the demand for UWC
- Development of new applications such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) is anticipated to create opportunities for the market growth
