The study involved the estimation of the current size of the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) market. Exhaustive secondary research has been carried out to collect information about the market and its peer markets. It has been followed by the validation of findings, assumptions, and sizing with the industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been employed to estimate the complete size of the market. It has been followed by the market breakdown and data triangulation methods to estimate the size of different segments and subsegments of the market.

Secondary Research

In the secondary research process, various secondary sources have been referred to for identifying and collecting information pertinent to this study on the AUV market. Secondary sources include annual reports; press releases; investor presentations; white papers; journals and certified publications; and articles by recognized authors, directories, and databases. Secondary research has been conducted to obtain key information about the supply chain of the industry, value chain of the market, the total pool of key players, market segmentation according to the industry trends (to the bottommost level), geographic markets, and key developments from both market- and technology-oriented perspectives.

After the complete market engineering (which include calculations for the market statistics, market breakdown, data triangulation, market size estimations, and market forecasting), extensive primary research has been carried out to gather information, as well as to verify and validate the critical numbers obtained for the AUV market.

Primary Research

Extensive primary research has been conducted after gaining knowledge about the current scenario of the AUV market through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with the market experts from both demand (commercial survey conductors) and supply (AUV manufacturers and distributors) sides across 4 major regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), and the Rest of the World (RoW). Approximately 20% and 80% of primary interviews have been conducted with parties from the demand side and supply side, respectively. Primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews.

Market Size Estimation

In the complete engineering process, both top-down and bottom-up approaches, along with several data triangulation methods, have been used to estimate and validate the size of the AUV market and other dependent submarkets. Key players in the market have been determined through primary and secondary research. This entire research methodology involved the study of the annual and financial reports of the top market players and extensive interviews with industry experts such as chief executive officers (CEOs), vice presidents (VPs), directors, and marketing executives for key insights (both qualitative and quantitative) about the AUV market. All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns have been determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources. All the possible parameters that affect the market segments covered in this research study have been accounted for, viewed in extensive detail, verified through primary research, and analyzed to get the final quantitative and qualitative data. This data has been consolidated and supplemented with detailed inputs and analyses from MarketsandMarkets and presented in the report.

Data Triangulation

After arriving at the overall market size using the estimation processes explained above, the AUV market has been split into several segments and subsegments. Data triangulation and market breakdown procedures have been employed, wherever applicable, to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and subsegment. The data has been triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both demand and supply sides for AUVs.
