Global Submarine Market Growth, Trends and Forecasts 2018-2023 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Global Submarine Market - Growth, Trends and Forecast (2018 - 2023)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Many countries are modernizing their naval defense units by manufacturing submarines, surface-mine countermeasure, unmanned underwater vehicles, and other combat and tactical UUVs, which is expected to drive the global submarine market.

The SSN segment is projected to account for the largest market share, with 38.3%, in the submarine market, globally. Unlike the SSKs, these submarines do not have to surface periodically for air, which preserves their stealth attribute, while also being faster, more efficient, and having longer endurance capabilities. Such advantages are expected to drive the demand for SSNs, globally, during the forecast period. However, due to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) agreement between the different countries, many countries have refrained from possessing nuclear-powered vessels.

Growing Demand for Submarines in Developing Regions

The rapid modernization of China's submarine fleet has also compelled the demand in countries, such as Japan, India, Australia, Vietnam, and Taiwan. The growth is significantly driven by major countries, such as Australia, China, South Korea, and India, due to the rising number of maritime conflicts in the South China Sea and Indian Ocean. As a result, these countries are expanding their naval capabilities or planning to expand their naval capabilities.

Submarines form the centerpiece of naval fleets, owing to their multi-operational capabilities and the ability to complement other strategic resources. The global submarine market dropped drastically toward the end of the Cold War in 1991. Since then, Brazil, Russia, India, China (BRIC nations) and other developing countries of Asia-Pacific have invested in the market with an effort to strengthen their naval capabilities.
