Global Unmanned Sea System Market Overview
Unmanned sea system comprises of two segments, one is unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV) and the other one is unmanned surface vehicle (USV). USVs carry out their operations on the surface of water without crew, whereas, UUVs are used to perform under water with various communication and functions associated with submerged platforms. Unmanned surface vessels (USV) are also termed as autonomous surface vehicles (ASV) which means that operators are removed from the platform and operations are performed with maximum efficiency.
Under water vehicles are known as underwater robots that operate with less or no human operators. ROV (remotely operated vehicle) or automated under water vehicle both describe robotic work. ROVs are remotely operated by the operators that are not present in the vehicles via radio control or through a cable connecting them to the vehicle for maintenance and repair under the sea.
Market Size & Forecast
The global unmanned sea system market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 9% during the forecast period i.e. 2018-2027.On the basis of regional platform, the global unmanned sea system market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa region.
North America is expected to hold the largest share in terms of revenue in the overall market over the forecast period. This can be attributed to increasing support from government and ruling bodies in marine and naval unit along with increased threats and illegal activities at sea.
Asia Pacific is also expected to showcase promising growth in the market owing to growing mining activities and increased demand for underwater vehicles by mining industries. Additionally, increased export of ores and minerals by countries such as Australia, China and India is also expected to positively support the growth rate of the market during the forecast period. Further, rising competition and innovations in R&D solutions in unmanned sea system is estimated to drive the market growth in Middle East & Africa region.
