Scope of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Market

Autonomous underwater vehicle is commonly known as unmanned underwater vehicle. Underwater vehicles have applications in mines clearing operation, feature tracking, cable or pipeline tracking and deep ocean exploration. The mechanical and electrical configuration and shape of an underwater vehicle are different according to different applications. An autonomous underwater vehicle may be a self-propelled, untethered underwater vehicle capable of completing simple activities with little or no human operators. AUVs are often used as survey platforms to monitor the seafloor or characterize physical, chemical or biological properties of the water. For instance, manipulators are necessary when doing mines clearing operation or other tasks which require affecting environment. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles became a common tool for all communities involved in ocean sampling and now a required asset for gathering detailed ocean data at very reasonable costs.

MSubs Gots Contract for XL Autonomous Submarine Development

March 13, 2020, MSubs announced the contract for XL Autonomous Submarine Development at the Underwater Defence & Security Symposium in Southampton. It used to explore the potential capabilities of larger uncrewed underwater vehicles in the future. This autonomous submarine is significantly larger than autonomous submarines, Measuring about 30 feet in length which used for beach reconnaissance allowing it to operate at a range of 3000 nautical miles.

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Market Dynamics

Increasing number of research activities in the oil & gas industry, growing government spending for sea water monitoring to maintain aquatic life balance are some major factor driving growth of the global autonomous underwater vehicles market. World oil production stood at 98.3 Mb/d in 2018, up from the 2017 daily production level of 95.7 mb/d. Moreover, increasing number of oceanography, research and other investments like in navy defense is expected to drive the autonomous underwater vehicle market over the forcast period. According to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), from 2017, Oil demand will reach 104.7 mb/d, up 6.9 mb/d by 2023. However, high cost of the vehicles and requires huge resources in terms of software and hardware. These are key impacting factors hamper the growth of autonomous underwater vehicle market. Moreover, technological advancements, government initiatives in security threat, military & defense operation by using autonomous underwater vehicle will enhance opportunity in the autonomous underwater vehicle market during forecast period.

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Market Regional Analysis

Asia Pacific is projected to witness strong growth due to rising industrialization and increasing usage of AUVs in defense operations and deep water survey for the oil & gas industry in emerging economies in the region. Additionally, presence of expertise, advanced equipment and technologies and increased exploration and production activities are the major factors supporting the regional market growth forecast period.  According to IEA, Gas demand in the coming five years is set to be driven by Asia Pacific, forecast to account for almost 60% of the total consumption increase to 2024.
