Unmanned Surface Vehicles Market Overview: 2025-30

Base Year: 2024

Historical Years: 2020-23

Forecast Years: 2025-30

The Unmanned Surface Vehicles Market size was valued at around USD 0.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1.7 billion by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 10.6% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) are seeing tremendous growth in the global market due to various uses in the commercial research and naval sectors. Many nations are investing in autonomous systems to lower human risk in dangerous environments and the growing use of USVs in naval operations for mine countermeasures is improving maritime safety. Offshore oil and gas exploration in the commercial sector is increasingly depending on USVs to perform cost-efficient and effective surveys of underwater pipelines and drilling locations. As the global offshore oil and gas market rebounds and new exploration funding is directed towards regions such as the Gulf of Mexico, this becomes particularly important.

Unmanned Surface Vehicles Market Dynamics: 2025-30

Rising Demand for Advanced Maritime Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems – The market for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) is driven by the developing need for sophisticated maritime surveillance and reconnaissance systems. Governments and defense agencies are making big investments in USVs globally to improve maritime security and guard territorial waters against dangers like illegal fishing piracy and smuggling. For instance, in the U.S. Navy’s Sea Hunter program, USVs are increasingly used for independent surveillance and reconnaissance missions, greatly decreasing the need for human intervention in excessive-risk areas.

As per the United Nations, in 2021 piracy incidents rose by 20% in some areas underscoring the urgent need for advanced surveillance abilities. With the help of sophisticated sensors radar and communication systems USVs can function independently for prolonged durations while delivering real-time records and useful intelligence. This ability is specifically critical for maintaining a watch on crucial waterways which includes the Strait of Hormuz and the South China Sea to assure safe and secure maritime operations.
