Offshore AUV & ROV Market by Product (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, Remotely Operated Vehicle), Propulsion (Electric System, Hybrid System, Mechanical System), Application, End-use - Global Forecast 2024-2030

[199 Pages Report] The Offshore AUV & ROV Market size was estimated at USD 1.39 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 1.53 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 10.18% to reach USD 2.75 billion by 2030.

Offshore autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are used as survey platforms to map out the seafloor or characterize the tested water's physical, chemical, or biological properties. AUVs are designed to travel underwater and can be equipped with different payloads such as cameras, sonar, bottom profilers, and multibeam echo sounders. Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are underwater robots utilized in scientific research, offshore oil industries, entertainment, and the military. ROVs' are connected to the ship by a cable cluster that carries electrical signs between the ROV and the operator. The rising offshore oil & gas production activities, growing offshore wind power industry, and increasing oil & gas decommissioning activities drive offshore AUV & ROV adoption. However, huge capital associated with installation, maintenance, and logistics and the presence of auxiliary electricity generation sources impedes the utilization of offshore AUV & ROV. In addition, emerging innovations and technological advancements are expected to increase the utilization of the AUVs & ROVs in offshore activities in industries such as oil & gas and offshore wind.

Numerous countries from North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific are allocating heavy budgets for national security and developing merchant ships and submarines for monitoring subsea areas, driving the growth of the offshore AUV & ROV market across these regions. North America has observed remarkable growth, with companies in the U.S. heavily investing in offshore drilling activities for the exploration of hydrocarbons. Moreover, the presence of developed countries, such as the UK, Russia, Italy, and France, in Europe, along with enormous offshore exploration, is expected to increase the market of AUV and ROV in the region. At the same time, the Asia-Pacific has a high potential market due to heavy investment and significant contribution among economies including India and China. China is considered one of the world's top hydrocarbon manufacturers, and companies are investing extensively in offshore drilling to meet the market demand. India and China are potentially allocating their defense budget for securing respective sea regions, which is expected to propel market growth in the Asia-Pacific. Moreover, the increasing adoption of AUV & ROV in different oil & gas industries is attributed to the market's growth in the Middle East, home to many oil-producing countries such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Iraq.
