Global Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) Market - 2023-2030
Market Overview
The global unmanned surface vehicle (USV) market reached US$ XX million in 2022 and is projected to record significant growth by reaching up to US$ XX million by 2030 and growing at a CAGR of 13.9% during the forecast period (2023-2030).
USVs can be remotely operated or operated autonomously using onboard algorithms. They offer several benefits over traditional manned vessels, including increased safety, lower operating costs and the ability to perform tasks in hazardous or remote environments. The growing need for maritime security, particularly in coastal and border regions, is driving demand for USVs equipped with advanced sensors and communication systems for monitoring and surveillance purposes.
Market Dynamics
Burgeoning Demand for Autonomous and Remote-controlled Solutions
USVs are unmanned vehicles that operate on the surface of the water and are typically controlled remotely or autonomously. They are used in various applications, including oceanographic research, maritime security and surveillance, oil and gas exploration and defense and military operations. One of the key drivers of the market growth is the increasing demand for USVs in the defense and military sectors. USVs can be used for various military operations, including surveillance and reconnaissance, mine detection and clearance and anti-submarine warfare. They offer several advantages over manned vessels, including reduced risk to personnel and increased operational flexibility—the growing need for oceanographic research and exploration. USVs collect data on ocean currents, temperatures and salinity. They can be equipped with various sensors to gather information on marine life, underwater topography and environmental conditions.
Limited endurance, range and lack of skilled operators
USVs are becoming increasingly popular for various applications, including defense and security, scientific research and commercial shipping. However, one of the industry's main challenges is the limited range and endurance of many USVs, which can limit their operational effectiveness. In addition to range and endurance, the lack of skilled operators is also a factor that can limit the growth of USV market. While the technology for autonomous and semi-autonomous USVs is rapidly advancing, skilled operators still need to ensure that these vessels are used safely and effectively.
