Submarine Sensor Market to Record Sturdy Growth in the Coming Years

Submarine sensors have grown to be an integral part of the defense sector in the recent years. Submarine sensors have witnessed significant growth during last two decade owing to increased usage of submarines by naval agencies across the world to address their intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, (ISR) and communication requirements. The advances in acoustic sensor technology have positively contributed to the growth of the submarine sensors market. Consequently, the adoption of submarine sensor is growing rapidly in applications ranging from marine environmental monitoring to underwater communication. Moreover, the paradigm shift towards the adoption of acoustic sensors and sonar sensors is anticipated to result in healthy growth of submarine sensor market around the globe.

The global submarine sensor market is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 3.6% during the forecast period 2017 to 2025, rising from a valuation of US$230.48 mn in 2016 to US$315.17 mn by 2025.

Based on type of sensor, the global submarine sensor market has been segmented into sonar sensor, acoustic sensor, fiber optic sensor and electromagnetic sensor. Acoustic sensors garnered the maximum revenue in 2016, and are anticipated to expand at significant compound annual growth rate during the forecast period. The electromagnetic sensors are anticipated to witness sluggish growth during the forecast period. On the contrary, acoustic sensor help detect sound “pings” in order to determine the contours, speed and range of an enemy ship, submarine or approaching weapon.


Acoustic sensors are used for anti-submarine warfare and mine countermeasures. The submarine force is making significant, rapid improvements in acoustic sensors and processing. For acoustic sensors, emerging technologies will help expand the possible location options for outboard sensors, while also improving the overall performance of these sensors even at higher submarine speeds, and reduce their cost and complexity.

Submarine sensor market, by submarine type has been classified into nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN), ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) and diesel electric submarine (SSK). Nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN) were the largest contributor to the market in 2016 and accounted for a substantial share of the global market. Diesel Electric Submarine (SSK) are estimated to record decent growth during the forecast period.


Based on application, the global submarine sensor market is segmented into marine environmental monitoring, underwater species protection, detection of oil resources, underwater communication and others. Underwater communication held a largest share of the market in 2016 and is estimated to expand at a healthy growth rate during the forecast period. Applications of submarine sensor in marine environmental monitoring and detection of oil resources industry is anticipated to register highest compound annual growth rate from 2017 to 2025.

The submarine sensor market has been geographically classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa and South America. North America acquired the largest share of the market in 2016 and was followed by Europe. In 2016, North America and Europe collectively held approximately 49% of the global market.

Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest growing region for submarine sensor market during the forecast period. In Asia Pacific, the increased demand for submarines such as diesel electric submarine (SSK) is expected to be the key driver for economic growth of this region, which is anticipated to fuel the growth of submarine sensor market during the forecast period in this region.



Some of the major players in the global Submarine Sensor market are: ATLAS ELEKTRONIK, Harris, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, DRS Technologies, Ducommun, L­3 KEO, Safran Electronics & Defense and Raytheon among others.

Wi-Fi Chipset Market Poised for an Explosive Growth in the Near Future

Wi-Fi is a technology based on the IEEE 802.11 standard which connects two or more devices using wireless communication within a limited area such as office building, school, home, or computer laboratory. Usage of Wi-Fi has increased significantly in residential and commercial places since the last several years due to the ease of its installation and operation. Currently, a number of devices including video-game consoles, digital cameras, digital audio players, digital printers, smart TVs, tablets, phones, and personal computers are available with built-in Wi-Fi technology. These devices can connect to the internet with the help of wireless access point or wireless LAN (Local Area Network) and can provide control and monitoring of a system from a remote location. Wi-Fi chipsets usually operate in 2.4 gigahertz UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band and 5.8 gigahertz SHF (Super high frequency) band. Wi-Fi Alliance, comprising more than 375 organizations worldwide, establishes and enforces W...

Keyless Entry System Market: Industry Outlook, Growth Prospects and Key Opportunities

Keyless entry system is technology that provides physical access to an individual inside any premises or automotive without the use of a mechanical key for performing the locking and unlocking operation. Keyless entry system provides an enhanced convenience and security to the users. In case of a keyless entry system, the users get secure and authorized access to an automotive or premise with the use of various external devices or gesture such as a keyless fob or a smart card, or by the use of their own voice, fingerprints or facial recognition among others. Owing to rapidly increasing adoption of smart technologies across various application sectors, keyless entry systems is increasingly installed among users especially in the transportation sector, government sector, banking financial services and insurance (BFSI) sectors and hospitality industry among others. The global Keyless Entry System market is anticipated to experience a robust growth during the forecast period from 2017 to...

Automotive Leaf Spring Suspension Market - Business Strategies and Recent Development

Key priorities of automotive manufacturers include increasing operational performance, improving drivability, and ensuring the safe transport of cargo and passengers. Increasing acceptance of hybrid and electric vehicles and integration of smart and connected technologies have prompted manufacturers to focus on improving the power and drivetrain systems such as clutch, transmission, propeller shaft, axle, and leaf springs. Leaf springs are located between the wheels and the body of the vehicle. When the wheel passes over a bump, it rises and deflects the spring; thereby, storing the energy in the spring. On releasing, due to the elasticity of the spring, it rebounds thereby expanding the stored energy. Increase in demand for automobiles globally, is driving the leaf spring market. The leaf springs are primarily used in light, medium, and heavy-duty commercial vehicles such as pick-up trucks and vans. Some passenger car manufacturers rely on use of leaf spring technology for bet...
