Market Report I 2023-07-05 I 146 Pages I IMARC Group
Market Overview:
The global underwater robotics market size reached US$ 3.81 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 7.67 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3% during 2023-2028. The rising demand from the oil and gas industries, the increasing product utilization for scientific research purposes, the bolstering growth of the aquaculture sector, and ongoing technological advancements in the industry represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Underwater robotics is a specialized field that focuses on developing and applying robotic systems designed to operate underwater. It integrates engineering, computer science, and marine sciences to create autonomous or remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) capable of maneuvering and functioning in underwater environments. These robots are equipped with sensors, cameras, manipulators, and propulsion systems to navigate underwater and perform various tasks and operations, including scientific exploration, data collection, and industrial inspections and maintenance. As a result, they find large-scale applications in marine research to explore and study the ocean's depths, gathering data on marine life, geological formations, and underwater ecosystems. In addition to this, they are extensively utilized across offshore industries, such as oil and gas exploration, underwater construction, and pipeline inspections, to access hazardous or hard-to-reach areas.
Underwater Robotics Market Trends:
The increasing demand for underwater robots across the oil and gas industries for subsea inspections, maintenance, and repair purposes represents one of the prime factors driving the market growth. In confluence with this, extensive investments in underwater technology to enhance the efficiency and productivity of offshore exploration operations are propelling the market forward. Moreover, the rising use of underwater robots in the military and defense sectors for mine countermeasures, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance applications is positively impacting the market growth. In line with this, the large-scale product usage to reach previously inaccessible areas for sea exploration, scientific research, and environmental monitoring is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the bolstering growth of the aquaculture sector is propelling the need for underwater robots for monitoring fish farms, inspecting underwater infrastructure, and managing aquatic environments. Concurrent with this, the expanding development of underwater infrastructures, such as pipelines, dams, bridges, and offshore wind farms, is presenting remunerative growth opportunities for the market. Furthermore, ongoing advancements in sensors, cameras, batteries, and propulsion systems have enabled the development of innovative underwater robots capable of performing complex tasks with greater accuracy and efficiency, which, in turn, is aiding in market expansion. Besides this, the surging product adoption in search and rescue operations, the growing demand for underwater photography, documentaries, and tourism, and the increasing number of deep-sea archaeological expeditions are creating a favorable outlook for the market.
