Key Insights
• As per the analysis shared by our research analyst, the global underwater drone market is estimated to expand annually at a CAGR of around 11.89% over the forecast period (2022-2030)
• In terms of revenue, the global underwater drone market was valued at nearly USD 3.35 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to hit USD 8.89 billion by 2030
• The market is projected to expand at a significant rate due to the massive use of underwater robots in maritime logistics and huge demand for automated robots
• Based on application, defence segment accounted for the largest market share in the year 2021
• Based on technological type, autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is predicted to dominate the global industry over the forecast timeline
• In terms of region, the Asia-Pacific underwater drone industry is projected to record the highest CAGR of 12.7% during the forecast timeframe
Maritime logistics started to opt for robots to cope with the labor shortages, increasing the demand for automated robots to replace labor operations. Given the political unrest, several other countries are anticipating a worldwide war scenario, which can help drive the demand for underwater drones for defense uses. Increased COVID protocols require companies to reduce manpower, and use automated services, to reduce the chances of COVID infection. Another driver contributing to the growth of the global underwater drone market can be the increase in demand for data-driven processes, for improved risk assessment, and forecasting, which is possible by the use of underwater drones.
Underwater drones are remote-controlled, or automated by means of programming and software, making it easier to hack and leak sensitive data. This becomes a threat to the privacy of organizations using underwater drones, thereby hampering the market growth.
Increased global awareness related to green and clean energy alternatives to the conventional ones, provides scope for research and development of renewable source-powered drones. For example, the demand for solar and wind-powered underwater vehicles has increased. Ocean Aero developed underwater drones that utilize these energy sources and can operate for several months without the requirement of recharging. Such innovations will likely bring up new growth avenues for the global underwater drone market.
AUV drones being completely automated, communication and navigation become issues. These systems communicate using radio signals, which get absorbed in water at a higher rate in comparison to other mediums such as air and vacuum. Radio signals face difficulties in terms of deep-sea communication, posing an issue for the increased application of AUV submerged drones.
