Global Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Market, By Component (Cameras, Synthetic Aperture Sonars, Sensors, Echo Sounders, Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers, and Others), By Type (Large AUVs, Medium AUVs, and Shallow AUVs), By Technology (Collision Avoidance, Imaging, Communication, Navigation, and Propulsion), By End User (Military & Defense, Commercial, and Scientific), and By Region (North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Rest of the World) – Market Size & Forecasting (2016-2028)

High demand from the military & defense industry in the emerging regions is expected to drive the demand of the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle market during the forecast period.  Some of the major end-use industries in autonomous underwater vehicle markets have been witnessing strong growth in the emerging region such as the Asia Pacific and the Middle East.  

An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is an underwater vehicle capable of carrying out simple activities with minimal or no human supervision. These unmanned vehicles are used for various purposes, including mapping rock foundation. These vehicles come along with cutting edge technology, such as collision avoidance and oceanographic sensors, among others. Thus, they are capable of completing missions without human intervention.

The large AUVs type segment is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period due to their capability to operate at great depths, thus making them apt to be used for oceanography, salvage operations, habitat research, etc.

The demand for autonomous underwater vehicles for military & defense purposes is expected to grow at a considerable rate since countries such as the US, Canada, France, and China are adopting AUVs for purposes, such as security and surveillance at the border, antisubmarine warfare, monitoring smuggling of illegal items, environmental assessment, etc. The military & defense end-user segment is expected to account for a large share of the market.

The autonomous underwater vehicle market in APAC is expected to grow at a high rate due to the increasing need for energy in developing China and India. North America is expected to account for the largest share of the autonomous underwater vehicle market, owing to factors such as increasing adoption of AUVs for military & defense purposes.
