Market Overview:
The Global Side Scan Sonars Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for commercial applications, underwater research, and defense & security applications of side scan sonars. The market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, the global side scan sonars market is segmented into single-beam side scan sonar systems and multi-beam side scan sonar systems. Single-beam side scan sonar systems are used for imaging large areas in a short time frame as compared to multi-beam side scan sonar systems that image smaller areas but with greater detail than single beam systems. On account of this attribute, multi-beam SSSs are increasingly being adopted for commercial applications such as seabed mapping & surveying; search & rescue (SAR); port security; environmental assessment; archaeology; and oceanography among others. Multi-beam SSSs held around two thirds share of the global SSS market in 2017 and are expected to maintain their dominance during the forecast period as well owing to their growing adoption in various end user segments including commercial application segments mentioned earlier .
Product Definition:
Side scan sonars are a type of sonar that is used to create images of the seafloor or other underwater objects. They are often used to find sunken ships or other objects on the seafloor.
Single-beam:
Single-beam is a term used for the beam that comes from one transducer in side scan sonar. It covers an arc of 360 degrees and can be used to cover maximum depth range. The beam width can vary between 2 meters to 30 meters depending on the transducer size and frequency.
Multi-beam:
Multi-beam is a technique used to generate an array of sound beams with the help of multiple transducers mounted over the same transducer mount. The advantage provided by this technique is that, it reduces or eliminates unwanted acoustic noise which occurs when using single beam. This technology finds its application in side scan sonars as well as fish finders and has been used for many years in these devices.
Application Insights:
The underwater research segment dominated the global side scan sonars market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The growth can be attributed to the increasing number of academic institutions and industrial participants involved in marine science and technology. For instance, according to NOAA, there are over 1,500 active Underwater Technology programs across the U.S., which train more than 40,000 students annually. These initiatives are aimed at developing a skilled workforce for under-sea exploration as well as enhancing research capabilities for ocean exploration activities globally.
Commercial application is expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period owing to rising demand from oil & gas companies for surveying their offshore facilities or deep sea deposits with high accuracy levels using multi-beam systems with high processing speeds and enhanced resolution capability compared to single beam systems available in the market currently. Furthermore, side scan sonar is used extensively by defense agencies such as U.S.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific side scan sonar market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of XX% over the forecast period, owing to increasing marine transportation and offshore oil & gas exploration activities in countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. In addition, rising demand for recreational diving in countries such as India is also anticipated to drive the regional market growth over the forecast period.
The North America region accounted for a significant share of revenue in 2017 due to technological advancements taking place within defense organizations that aid with better detection capabilities underwater using side scan sonar systems. The U.S.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for offshore oil and gas exploration and production is expected to drive the side scan sonars market growth over the forecast period.
- Rising number of port development projects is also anticipated to fuel the side scan sonars market growth in near future.
- Growing popularity of recreational boating is another key factor that would propel the side scan sonars market expansion during the forecast period.
- Proliferation of maritime terrorism and illegal activities are some other factors that are expected to boost demand for side scan sonars over next few years.
