Global Underwater Robots Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Underwater Robots market size is predicted to grow from US$ 299 million in 2025 to US$ 452 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2025 to 2031.

Underwater robots, also known as unmanned remotely operated submersibles (ROV), are extreme operating robots that work underwater. The underwater environment is harsh and dangerous, and the depth of human diving is limited, so underwater robots have become an important tool for developing the ocean. There are mainly two types of unmanned remotely controlled submersibles: cable remotely controlled submersibles and cableless remotely controlled submersibles. Among them, cabled remotely controlled submersibles are divided into three types: self-propelled underwater, towed and crawling on submarine structures.

Global Underwater Robots key players include Forum Energy Technologies, TechnipFMC plc, Deep Ocean Engineering, etc. Global top three manufacturers hold a share over 30%.

North America is the largest market, with a share over 30%, followed by Europe, and Asia Pacific, both have a share over 35 percent.

In terms of product, Below 3000m is the largest segment, with a share over 65%. And in terms of application, the largest application is Deep Inspection, followed by Drilling Support, Submarine Construction Support, etc.
