Towed Array Sonar Market size was valued at USD 2.18 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 3.82 billion by 2037, expanding at around 4.4% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of towed array sonar is evaluated at USD 2.34 billion.
The growth of the market can be accredited to the growing demand for naval systems and submarines globally. In detecting and tracking soft sound, such as the low noise emissions from submarine threats or Seismic signals, towed array sonar is an efficient tool.
In detecting and tracking faint sounds, such as low noise emitting submarine threats or seismic signals, towed array sonar is effective. This applies to the baffles, which are a blind spot for hull-mounted sonar.

Type (Active, Passive, Dual Towed Array Sonar)
Passive towed array sonar is expected to garner the highest revenue in the forecast period. Also, the market is growing at the highest CAGR of 5% throughout the forecast period. The demand for passive towed arrays is increasing owing to their salient features such as prohibiting the emission of their own signal. Also, with the existence of a ping system, the enemies can easily detect the vessels.
Component (Hydrophone, Cables)
The hydrophone segment in the towed array sonar market is estimated to hold a share of 80% by 2036. This sonar device consists of a system of hydrophones, which are tugged far beyond the submarine through cables. Such hydrophones are often kilometers from each other, thus enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio significantly. In order to detect and track faint sounds, e.g. lower noise emitting submarine threats or seismic signals, the towing array sonar shall be able to operate effectively. The salient features provided by the towed array sonar are driving the growth of the market in the military and defense industries.

North American Market Forecast
The North America industry is expected to dominate majority revenue share of 40% by 2037. In addition to this, the market held the highest market share in 2019, with an overall revenue of USD 160 Million in the same year. The growth can be accredited to the growing demand for towed array sonar in the region for advancements in defense.
Moreover, increasing concentration on developing strong anti-submarine warfare capability and fleet extension initiatives are also escalating the market growth. Additionally, the US government is spending more on the research and development of these devices. The United States is expected to have the largest market for underwater surveillance systems and to be involved in a large number of exports and imports of towed sonar arrays. These factors are bolstering the market growth of towed array sonar in the region.
APAC Market to Statistics
Asia Pacific is expected to showcase significant growth in the market owing to the increased investment in the naval sector and a growth in domestic ship manufacturing in South Korea and India. The region to hold a share of 36.4% by 2037. Market growth is being driven by the increasing shipments of commercial vessels in Japan, which are integrating automation into ship systems manufactured by a number of shipbuilding companies in South Korea.
