Payload & sensor is expected to be the largest segment during the forecast period.
The payload & sensor segment is driven by Europe’s strong focus on high-resolution seabed intelligence to support offshore wind expansion, subsea interconnector planning, and dense telecom-power cable networks. European operators increasingly require advanced synthetic aperture sonar, multibeam sonar, magnetometers, and environmental sensors for precise asset mapping in the North Sea and Baltic Sea. NATO programs also rely heavily on sensor-rich AUVs for mine countermeasures and underwater domain awareness.
Oceanography is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The rapid growth of the oceanography segment is pushed by EU funding for marine science initiatives. It includes Copernicus Marine, EMODnet, and Horizon Europe missions. European research institutes are increasing the deployment of endurance-class AUVs to study deep-sea ecosystems, glacial melt patterns, and changes in the carbon cycle. The North Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Arctic zones require persistent autonomous observation, which further accelerates AUV adoption. The region’s inclination toward environmental compliance and marine conservation amplifies long-term demand.
Germany is expected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period.
Germany’s autonomous underwater vehicle market is largely driven by the increase in offshore wind capacity, expansion of the subsea grid, and enhancements in environmental monitoring around the North Sea. Ongoing defense modernization and improved unmanned mine-countermeasure capabilities for NATO commitments elevate the demand for high-end AUVs. Additionally, robust R&D efforts, partnerships with EU oceanography programs, and increased investment in maritime digitalization boost AUV adoption. Germany’s extensive industrial base also supports the integration of AUVs into inspection, research, and security operations.
Kongsberg (Norway), Saab AB (Sweden), BAE Systems (UK), Exail Technologies (France), and Saipem S.p.A. (Italy) are the key players in the autonomous underwater vehicle market in Europe.
