"The Global Naval Vessels and Surface Combatants Market 2024-2034 report provides the market size forecast and the estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the next ten years. The report covers industry analysis, including the key market drivers, trends, emerging technologies, and major challenges faced by industry participants. It also offers insights regarding key factors and government programs that are expected to influence the demand for naval vessels and surface combatants over the forecast period.
With the growth of maritime threats globally, many countries are investing in the procurement and modernization of naval vessels to protect their key maritime trade routes. Likewise, disputes over offshore territories and maritime boundaries, abetted by the need to exploit offshore resources, are expected to be a major driver regarding the strengthening of naval capabilities for many countries. On the other hand, several countries around the world have initiated naval modernization programs to replace their aging naval vessel fleets and are increasing their defense spending towards the same.
The Frigate segment is expected to be the largest segment and account for approximately 30.4% of the global naval vessels and surface combatants market from 2024 to 2034. The demand for frigates is anticipated to be mainly driven by the increased focus on developing new technologically advanced frigates with AESA radars and vertical launch systems to replace the aging fleet of legacy vessels. The segment's growth will be mainly driven by several high-value procurement programs worldwide, including the Royal Canadian Navy's 'Canadian Surface Combatant' program, the US Navy's Constellation-class program, the Royal Australian Navy's Hunter-class (SEA 5000) program, and the German Navy's MKS 180 Multirole Combat Ship, among others. According to Chandan Nayak, Defense Analyst at GlobalData, "Ongoing naval modernization initiatives focusing on the procurement of new naval platforms, mainly to replace aging vessels, especially from Asia-Pacific, North America, and Europe, are expected to propel segment growth over the forecast period."
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the global naval vessels and surface combatants market from 2024 to 2034. The region's market is primarily driven by the procurement strategies adopted by key economies such as China, India, and Australia. In addition to these countries, the steady expansion of maritime security assets by Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Singapore is also expected to drive the market growth. Furthermore, the ongoing territorial dispute in the South China Sea will act as major influencing factors for China's expenditure on naval expansion over the forecast period. For instance, the multi-billion-dollar Luyang III Class Destroyers (Type 052D) program to induct 31 destroyers will significantly increase the country's share of the global naval vessels and surface combatants' market over the next decade."
