The Business Research Company's Autonomous Naval Vessel Global Market Report 2025 – Market Size, Trends, And Global Forecast 2025-2034

LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, August 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- What Is The Autonomous Naval Vessel Market Size And Growth?
The market for autonomous naval vessels has seen a significant growth in recent years. It's projected to experience an increase from $1.42 billion in 2024 to $1.56 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. This growth during the historic period is due to factors such as enhanced naval modernization efforts, an increase in demand for unmanned surveillance operations, a heightened focus on maritime border security, a surge in the adoption of remotely operated vessels, and increased investments in defense automation.

A robust expansion in the autonomous naval vessel market size is anticipated in the upcoming years, with a forecasted growth to $2.20 billion by 2029, following a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. This predicted growth during the forecast period can largely be ascribed to the rising endorsement of artificial intelligence-infused navigation systems, an escalating need for ongoing maritime capabilities and cost-effective naval ventures, an increasing commitment to reducing human risks in combat areas and ever-growing interest in autonomous mine countermeasure systems. Looking ahead, the forecast period is expected to see major progress in autonomous navigation technologies, the incorporation of artificial intelligence into vessel control systems, a technological move towards unmanned surface and subaquatic platforms, progress in sensor fusion and maritime situational cognizance, and the incorporation of cybersecurity measures into naval autonomy systems.

What Are The Key Driving Factors For The Growth Of The Autonomous Naval Vessel Market?
The escalating demand for maritime safety is foreseen to drive the growth of the autonomous naval vessel market in the future. Maritime safety involves safeguarding boats, harbors, and coastal regions against threats like terrorism, piracy, and unlawful activities to ensure secure marine operations. This rising need for maritime safety is influenced by the increase in illegal marine activities, which jeopardize national sovereignty, interrupt trade pathways, and undermine coastal security. Autonomous naval vessels reinforce marine safety by providing unending, unmanned monitoring and swift threat detection across extensive sea regions. These vessels lower the risk to humans by efficiently conducting high-risk missions, thereby bolstering coastal defense and operational preparedness. For example, as per the International Maritime Bureau (IMB) of International Chamber of Commerce, based in France, there were 120 instances of maritime piracy and armed robbery in 2023, an increase from 115 cases in 2022. Thus, this growing demand for maritime safety is propelling the autonomous naval vessel market's expansion.
