The global hydrographic survey equipment market size reached US$ 3.1 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 4.9 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.22% during 2023-2032. Increasing need for accurate and up-to-date marine charts and maps, the growing emphasis on offshore exploration and production activities, and rising investments in infrastructure development represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Hydrographic survey equipment is used for mapping and measuring the physical features of water bodies, such as oceans, rivers, and lakes. It is essential for various industries, including offshore oil and gas exploration, navigation, and environmental monitoring. The equipment typically includes sonar, global positioning systems (GPS), and other sensors that allow for accurate measurements of the water depth, current speed, and underwater features. The hydrographic survey equipment comprises a survey vessel, echo sounder, sonar system, GPS, and a data acquisition system as standard components. The survey vessel is equipped with the latest technology to ensure the accuracy of the equipment.
The echo sounder emits a sound pulse that bounces off the seabed and returns to the sensor. The time it takes for the sound to travel is used to calculate the depth of the water. The advantages of hydrographic survey equipment are numerous, such as providing detailed information about the water depth, underwater features, and currents which is essential for safe navigation. It also helps identify and mitigate potential hazards to offshore infrastructure, such as oil rigs and pipelines. In addition to this, hydrographic survey equipment plays a critical role in environmental monitoring by providing data on water quality and the health of aquatic ecosystems.
In comparison to other survey methods, hydrographic survey equipment offers more detailed and accurate data. It also enables surveyors to work in real-time and quickly identify potential hazards or issues. Currently, there are different types of product variants in the market, including single-beam echo sounders, multibeam echo sounders, side-scan sonar, and sub-bottom profilers.
Moreover, favorable technological advancements in surveying equipment, including the development of multibeam sonar systems, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), and stringent government regulations and guidelines pertaining to maritime safety and environmental protection are creating a positive outlook for the market. The expansion of the maritime tourism industry and the growing need for accurate seabed mapping for recreational activities are acting as other factors contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, the shifting focus on underwater archaeology and the rising incidents of natural disasters are creating a positive outlook for the market.
Furthermore, the expansion of the fishing industry and the escalating need for accurate mapping of fish habitats and oceanographic features are fueling the market growth. Other factors, such as the surging awareness and concern about marine pollution and the growing adoption of unmanned systems, including autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), for hydrographic surveys are propelling the market growth.
Some of the companies covered include EdgeTech, Innomar Technologie GmbH, iXblue SAS, Kongsberg Gruppen ASA, Raytheon Technologies Corporation, Sonardyne International Ltd., SyQwest Incorporated, Teledyne Technologies Inc., Topcon Corporation, Tritech International Limited (Moog Inc.), Valeport Ltd., etc. Kindly note that this only represents a partial list of companies, and the complete list has been provided in the report.
