Underwater Robotics Market 2019 Strategies, Share, Trends, Segmentation, Growth Forecast 2023

Author: Rahul Sisodiya

Underwater robots market is designed for inspection and mapping of sea and oceans for mining of minerals, oils, and gases and are used in underwater surveillance for military and maritime operations, archaeology, and biological researches. Moreover, these robots are capable of repairing and maintaining equipment that are deployed underwater along with providing real-time updates using satellite signals and other communication media. Based on the area of operation, the Underwater Robotics Market are either remotely controlled or are completely unmanned. The demand for underwater inspection and mapping for military, commercial, and scientific explorations has attributed to the growth of underwater robotics market. However, high costs incurred in the installation of these robots might hamper market growth. Recently, in March 2019, Planys Technologies, an IIT-Madras-basedstart-up, has launched Mikros, a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) for underwater inspection. The ROV is capable to reach a depth of 200 meters and will cater to process industries, petrochemical refineries, and desalination plants.

The global underwater robotics market was valued at USD 2.12 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 4.20 billion by the end of the forecast period at a CAGR of 12.6%.
