DUBLIN, Feb. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Global Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Market (2021-2026) by Type, Technology, Payload Type, Application, Shape and Geography, Competitive Analysis and the Impact of Covid-19 with Ansoff Analysis" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Global Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Market is estimated to be USD 1.57 Bn in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 3.71 Bn by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 18.75%.

The Global Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Market is expected to increase due to the high acceptance of AUVs for surveillance, ocean floor mapping, and inspection. Autonomous underwater vehicles can also be helpful to track illegal human and drug trafficking along with goods and materials smuggling.

Moreover, these vehicles can also be used to investigate air crashes and ship wreckage. Factors such as rising demand in the defense sector, increasing use of AUVs for deep-sea field development and seabed mapping, increasing use in intelligence, surveillance, and coastal protection, and raising capital expenditure in the offshore industry are some of the driving factors of the market.

However, lack of high-level security and high cost of maintenance are some of the factors that may hinder the market growth.

The Global Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Market is segmented by Type, Technology, Payload Type, Application, Shape & Geography.

Company Profiles

Some of the companies covered in this report are Kongsberg Maritime, Teledyne Marine, Bluefin Robotics, ECA Group, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Atlas Elektronik GmbH, Boston Engineering Corporation, Boeing Company, L3 Harris Technologies Inc., RTSYS, etc.
