Submarine Market – Summary
Overview:
The global submarine market is expected to grow at an impressive 4.24% CAGR during the forecast period (2018-2023) to scale valuation of USD 28,656.3 million by the end of 2023. Market Research Future’s (MRFR) report on the submarine market further incorporates a detailed analysis of drivers and segments that can impact the market profoundly in the coming years. Submarines are underwater naval vessels which can be used for exploration, combat, reconnaissance, surveillance, and other missions.
Increase in maritime conflicts owing to socio-political tensions among countries can spur the submarine market demand over the forecast period. Taking a cue from this trend, various nations are upgrading their naval vessels and embedding them with the latest technology to serve as a bulwark against enemy forces. Rising demand for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV) for carrying heavier payloads can net higher revenues for the global market till 2023.
Modernization of the existing flotilla of several navies can enhance the overall defense of developing and developed nations. Nuclear powered submarines are gaining prominence owing to rising fossil fuel prices and scarcity of renewable energy sources. This is exemplified with the deal signed between BWX Technologies and the U.S. Navy in 2015 for the manufacture of nuclear reactors. Retrofitting and maintenance costs of submarines can impede the market growth. But 3D printing and vessel replacement programs by governments offer new avenues for expansion.
Segmentation:
By type, the global submarine market can be segmented into nuclear powered, ballistic missile, and diesel electric submarines. The nuclear powered segment can exhibit a 4.48% CAGR during the review period due to its numerous advantages over conventional underwater vessels. The ballistic missile segment is predicted to exhibit the highest CAGR owing to its ability to target enemies over long distances. On the other hand, the diesel electric segment can induce market demand owing to its usage in Russia, China, Romania, Algeria, and Vietnam.
By application, the submarine market can be segmented into detection of oil resources, combat, marine environmental monitoring, scientific research, surveillance, and others.
