“The autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) market (without payload) is projected to grow at a CAGR of 20.8% from 2020 to 2025.”

The autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) market (without payload) is projected to grow from USD 638 million in 2020 to USD 1,638 million by 2025; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20.8% from2020 to 2025. The increasing capital expenditure in the offshore industry is expected to drive the growth of the AUV market. AUVs are widely used in the oil&gas industry for various applications such as pipeline inspections, platform inspections, and bathy metric surveys, as well as search and rescue operations. AUVs are cost-effective for deep water drilling applications as they eliminate the requirement of surface vessels and can operate autonomously. The main restraint for the growth of the AUV market is that AUVs are relatively expensive maritime systems. The costs involved in the deployment of AUVs for exploration or survey activities add to the actual cost of the operation, thus restraining the growth of the AUV market. High costs of maintenance, manufacturing, and R&D activities, and system complexity associated with AUVs lead to their slow adoption across the world.

“The archeology & exploration segment of the market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.”

Among applications, the archeological and exploration segment of the AUV market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. AUVs can be 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. According to the Digital Index of North American Archaeology (DINAA), there would be an increase in the number of underwater archeological sites if the sea level rises by 1 meter, which would submerge more than 13,000 recorded historic and prehistoric archeological sites, as well as over 1,000 locations currently eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The rise in demand for AUVs used in archeological and exploration applications has led companies to manufacture AUVs and payloads catering to the requirements of archeologists and marine research institutes.

“The torpedo segment estimated to hold the largest share of the AUV market in 2020.”

In 2020, the torpedo segment is estimated to hold the largest share of the AUV market. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the ease of storage and launch of torpedo-shaped AUVs from ships, aircraft, and helicopters without significant modifications. The drag of these AUVs is the second-best after laminar flow body AUVs. But torpedo-shaped AUVs are preferred over laminar flow body AUVs as they are stable and hence, offer a good balance between speed and stability. Torpedo-shaped AUVs can be used ina wide range of applications. Moreover, their hulls have more surface area than laminar flow body AUVs that make them highly suitable for deep water applications.

“North America estimated to hold the largest share of the AUV market in 2020.”

In 2020, North America is estimated to hold the larges share of the AUV market. The increasing adoption of AUVs in the military & defense applications in the US is driving the growth of the AUV market in North America. For instance, in August 2019, Tele dyne Instruments (US) received an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract worth USD 22 million from the US Naval Undersea Warfare Center to supply AUVs and related monitoring and communication acoustic systems. The increasing adoption of advanced underwater systems in emerging economies in APAC, including China and India, is creating significant growth opportunities for the manufacturers of AUVs in this region. For instance, in February 2020, Kongs berg Maritime (Norway) received a contract for providing a Hugin AUV system to the Indian National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT). The Hugin AUV system ordered by NIOT can be operated at depths of up to 6,000 meters and is expected to be equipped with a KONGSBERG HISAS 1032 synthetic aperture sonar and EM2040 multi beam echo sounder, designed for hydrographic and seabed classification applications.
