Global Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Market Size, Share, and Trends Analysis Report, By Type (Shallow AUVs, Medium AUVs, Large AUVs), By Application (Military & Defence and Oil and Gas), By Technology (Collision Avoidance, Communication, Navigation, Propulsion, and Imaging), Forecast (2022-2028)

The global autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 22.5% during the forecast period (2022-2028). Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are programmable, robotic vehicles that depending on their design can drift, drive, or glide through the ocean without real-time control by human operators. These vehicles are useful for a wide range of missions such as shipwrecks, mapping rock formations, and other barriers which could prove dangerous for commercial navigations vessels. Autonomous underwater vehicles are equipped with cutting-edge sensor technologies. For instance, sonar systems and oceanographic sensors are sensors that can complete the entire mission instead of any operator. After the completion of the mission, these vehicles return to their original place or location. The increase in the number of research activities in the oil and gas industry, along with an increase in government spending on seawater to monitor for maintaining the marine life are some driving factors for the growth of the global autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) market. Additionally, the increase in growth of the fish farming is another driving factor for the market growth as these vehicles are affordable in providing a reliable platform for aqua farmers to monitor water quality, such as temperature, and observe fish behavior, among others.

Some major players in the market include Teledyne Technologies, Saab AB, and BAE Systems plc, among others. The market players are contributing significantly to the growth of the market by the adoption of various strategies including mergers & acquisitions, geographical expansion, partnerships, new product launches, and collaborations, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in June 2021, KA Group AG revealed the JCS Compact and JCS Extended which is a jet control system. These new water jet control systems are constructed to ensure top performance even in the most extreme conditions. Additionally, in November 2020, SeaRobotics Corp announced the SR-Utility 3.0, next-generation Utility Class ASV. This latest addition to the SRC portfolio is intended to broaden the scope of autonomous coastal marine survey activities by providing professional surveyors with a configurable platform that supports interchangeable payloads and sensors and incorporates existing instrumentation.
