Global Offshore AUV And ROV Market Definition
An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is an unmanned, self-propelled, untethered underwater vehicle that is used to carry out simple activities with little or no human supervision. AUVs are often used as survey platforms to map out the seafloor or characterize the physical, chemical, or biological properties of the water being tested. AUVs are designed to travel underwater and can be equipped with different kinds of payloads such as cameras, sonar, bottom profilers, multibeam echo sounders, and more. AUVs are mostly used for survey operations by ocean scientists, the marine industry, and the military. On the other hand, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are underwater robots utilized in science, offshore oil industries, entertainment, and the military.
Their primary role is to interact with the environment to operate under the water in several ways. They are easy to operate through the water and are connected to the ship by a cluster of cables that carry electrical signs back and forth between the ROV and the operator. Most ROVs are installed with a camera and lights. In addition to this, they are equipped with additional equipment to increase their capabilities, for instance, additional equipment may include magnetometers, sonars, a still camera, water samplers, instruments, and a manipulator that helps in measuring light penetration, water clarity, temperature, and depth.

Global Offshore AUV And ROV Market Overview
Underwater vehicles have become a standard tool for data gathering for Maritime applications.
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
have a wide range of applications in marine geoscience and as a result, they are being increasingly used in the military, scientific, commercial, and policy sectors. The ability of underwater vehicles to be able to operate autonomously makes them well-suited to the exploration of extreme environments.
As the offshore oil & gas sector has come to rely on remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) for subsea construction services and drilling support to enable deepwater exploration and expansion projects worldwide. ROVs are extensively utilized in the offshore sector from exploration drilling to decommissioning. They are required for all life of field levels in the global offshore oil & gas sector, the Offshore AUV And ROV Market, and the subsea cables industry. The underwater construction in offshore wind farms needs regular inspection, and operational costs can be decreased by the deployment of ROVs instead of human divers, and an upsurge in demand for renewable energy sources is expected to benefit the market.
AUVs require two power requirements, such as power for board instrumentation, computers, communication devices, and guidance, and power for forwarding propulsion. The power for forwarding propulsion is mostly generated from the power stored in onboard batteries. This restricts the mission life of AUVs because of physical limitations on the size and number of batteries carried onboard exist. The challenges related to the weight of
batteries
used in underwater vehicles might affect the market. Also, the communication protocol of such vehicles presents a huge challenge to the market.
The Global Offshore AUV And ROV Market is Segmented on the basis of Product, Application, Propulsion System, and Geography.
Based on Product, the market is bifurcated into AUV and ROV. ROV accounted for the largest market share in 2019. Increasing usage of ROVs in various industries, such as search & rescue, military, marine biology, oil & gas, submerge infrastructure, and aquaculture sector along with the advancement in ROVs technologies are the factors that are expected to propel the growth of the market.
Based on Propulsion System, the market is bifurcated into Hybrid System, Electric System, and Mechanical System. The electric system accounted for the largest market share in 2019. High thrust-to-weight ratio, excellent reliability in operations, ability to fit a battery for tether-less operations, and environment friendly are some of the benefits of an electric propulsion system. Technological advancement in the AUV & ROV propulsion system, ongoing research activities on marine science, and the launch of efficient electric propulsion systems are the factors that have boosted the adoption of electric propulsion.
Based on Application, the market is bifurcated into Defense, Scientific Research, Oil & Gas, Commercial, and Others. Oil & Gas accounted for the largest market share in 2019. AUVs and ROVs are a fantastic choice for the oil and gas sector to explore the seabed. In oil and gas excavations, the AUVs help industries develop a detailed project plan to determine whether extraction facilities are possible in certain locations or not. In addition to this, offshore AUVs/ROVs are also frequently used in pipeline surveys to determine pipe defects, corrosion, and buckling.
