Russia-Ukraine War Impact:
Demand for Unmanned Surface Vehicle Increased Owing to Russia-Ukraine War
Russia's war against Ukraine was mostly a ground-and-air battle, with armed drones and missiles becoming increasingly common in modern warfare. The Black Sea was especially important in the maritime region. The overwhelming naval power of the Russian Navy is mainly due to Russia's failure to stop maritime intelligence against Ukraine, and Russia's political maneuvering in the strategically important Bosphorus chokepoint, which increased the need for USVs during the Russia-Ukraine War.
Segmentation: USV market
Small USVs to Dominate the Market Share Owing to Reduced Survey Time on Site
On the basis of size, the USV market is segmented into small USV, medium USV, large USV, and extra-large USV. The small USV segment dominated the Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) market share in 2022. As a ‘force multiplier’, small USVs can be used with traditional survey vessels to double the survey coverage and reduce survey time, augmenting the market growth.
Power & Propulsion Systems Led the Market Growth Owing to Wider Replacement of Human Interface Elements with Remote Human Interface
Based on component, the market is classified into power and propulsion systems, communication systems, sensors & optronics, hull, inertial navigation & positioning system, ISR & imaging systems, and weapon payloads. Power & propulsion systems to dominate the market share and will be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period. In unmanned surface vehicles, the builder must replace the human interface elements with remote human interface. Further, developing remote-control capabilities for the propulsion systems requires interaction with their proprietary and closed internal communications.
Reduced Operational Cost and Enhanced Performance to Dominate the Remotely Operated Segment
According to mode of operation, the market is bifurcated into remotely operated and autonomous. The remotely operated segment led the market share in 2022. Companies are looking to take advantage of remote operations and Unmanned Vessel (UV) solutions to enhance performance and reduce operational costs and risks across a wide range of onshore & offshore wind farm development and sub-sea operations.
Short (Upto 100 Hours) Segment to Dominate the Market Share due to High Demand for Natural Resource Mapping
On the basis of endurance, the USV market is segmented into short (upto 100 hours), medium (100 – 500 hours), long (500 – 1000 hours), and extra-long (above 1000 hours). The short (upto 100 hours) dominated the market share in 2022, owing to rise in demand for short-endurance USVs for environmental & meteorological monitoring.
Kayak (Single Hull) Segment to Dominate the Market Share Owing to Increased Marine Exploration Activities
As per hull type, the market is divided into kayak (single hull), catamaran (twin hull), trimaran (triple hull), and rigid inflatable hull. The kayak (single hull) segment to lead the market with the fastest CAGR during the projected period. The segment is anticipated to grow due to increasing marine exploration activities during the forecast period.
Hydrography & Oceanography Segment Dominated the Market Owing to Increased Adoption of USVs
Based on application, the market is segmented into intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, naval & homeland security, anti-submarine warfare, hydrography & oceanography, environmental & meteorological monitoring, natural resource mapping & exploration, and others. The hydrography & oceanography segment dominated the market in 2022 due to their popularity, where USVs are mainly used.
Geographically, the market is divided into regions such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World.
