The autonomous ship market is expected to cumulatively generate a revenue of $3.48 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 26.7% in terms of volume during the period 2024-2035. In terms of value, the global ocean surface robot market accounted for $505.7 million in the year 2017.

With increasing seaborne trade worldwide, there is an imminent need to reduce the risk factors associated with the cargo, make room for more cargo, and automate the operations. Therefore, with the prospect of implementing autonomy in the ship industry, there is an increase in the demand for unmanned ocean-going vehicles and ships as they fundamentally eliminate the operators from the platform and allow new modes of operations.

Ocean surface robots, popularly known as unmanned surface vehicles, come in varied forms and greatly depend on their intended function. Initially, the ocean surface robots were designed and developed for educational use. However, with continued advancements in the system, ocean surface robots have been increasingly utilized for environment data collection and monitoring, thus acting as more efficient and cost-effective solutions than the conventional ocean-going ships.

Furthermore, autonomy is also used for cargo shipping, thus reducing the overall cost associated with crew handling. With the increase in the automation of operations, there has been a decrease in the cargo shipping cost, thereby reducing the average earning of cargo shipping service providers.

The autonomous ship and ocean surface robot market has witnessed a high growth rate owing to enhanced advantages of these systems in environmental monitoring and increasing need for maritime security. The rising need for autonomy in the ocean-going vehicles by law enforcement agencies, commercial industries, scientific research organizations, and naval forces has driven the demand for autonomous ships and ocean surface robots. These vehicles are capable of carrying out maritime applications without the need for an onboard human operator.

In addition, the growing maritime challenges increase the demand for the autonomous ship and ocean surface robot to perform operations including environmental monitoring, seabed mapping, anti-submarine warfare, and underwater mine-hunting, among others. Considering an optimistic scenario, autonomous ships are expected to be commercially available in the market by 2024 with more than 130 ships from 2024 to 2035. In terms of value, the global ocean surface robot market accounted for $505.7 million in the year 2017.

With Europe having the highest market share during the period 2017-2028, the demand for ocean surface robots across different geographies in the near future is expected to be promising. The region is anticipated to witness the highest growth rate during the period 2018-2028 mainly due to factors such as increased investment by the government and the development and enhancement of ocean surface robot subsystems by various companies.
