Unmanned Underwater Vehicles Market To Boom During 2021–2030

The surging defense expenditure of countries and burgeoning demand for seafloor mapping data will drive the unmanned underwater vehicles market growth during the forecast period (2021–2030). According to P&S Intelligence, the market generated a revenue of $4,104.2 million in 2020. Moreover, the rising advancements in underwater inspection techniques and soaring demand for maritime security will facilitate the market growth in the foreseeable future. Currently, the market players are undertaking several creative approaches to augment the effectiveness of UUVs.

Unmanned Underwater Vehicles Market Outlook


The mounting defense expenditure is one of the primary growth drivers for the market. UUVs play an important role in naval warfare as they provide significant clandestine and standoff capabilities and can intelligently adapt to the changes in tactical situations. The onboard systems of UUVs can adapt to the mission plan and identify changes without requiring human assistance. Owing to the benefits offered by UUVs, the navy and other departments of defense of various countries are partnering with private companies to conduct research and development (R&D) for developing next-generation UUVs.

At present, the UUVs market is consolidated in nature, with the presence of few players such as Teledyne Technologies Inc., Lockheed Martin Corporation, Subsea 7 S.A., Saab AB, Oceanserver Technology Inc., Kongsberg Gruppen, Oceaneering International Inc., The Boeing Company, and Fugro. These market players are entering into partnerships to gain a competitive edge. For instance, in December 2019, Saab AB won a contract from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for the development of a new self-propelled naval mine, which is based on autonomous underwater vehicle technology.

Thus, the growing defense budgets and escalating focus on maritime security will support the market growth during the forecast period.
