SONAR System Market Trends

Growth Indicators

• Growing Defense Operation Across the World: The demand for SONAR systems is increasing on account of growing advancements in defense operations across the world. Nowadays, most of the submarines are designed based on the Ohio-Class, reducing their vulnerability to passive SONARs. Furthermore, new anti-submarine technologies are increasing, which will reduce their reliance on noise generated by a target submarine.
• Developments in Offshore Energy Sector and Fisheries: The global offshore energy sector is growing at a robust pace and is anticipated to rise even more over the forecast period. The industry aims to provide an affordable and dependable source of energy across the world. Also, the quantity of fish produced at the global level is projected to grow as it is predominantly consumed as food worldwide. SONAR systems are one of the acoustic technologies that help researchers study the habitat of fishes.

Challenges

• Impact of SONAR on Marine Life: The increase in underwater surveillance systems such as submarines, SONARs, seismic air gun blasts, and others which are used for offshore energy exploration and underwater warfare is disrupting the life of marine creatures. These underwater warfare systems are negatively impacting marine life, and the whole aquatic life is attributed to vanish in the future.
