Market Insights

The cumulative global military spending on naval sonars is estimated to be US$29.1 billion from 2019 to 2029. The demand for naval sonar systems will be driven by the increasing focus on developing robust anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capability and fleet expansion initiatives by emerging economies such as India and Pakistan in the Asia-Pacific region.

Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the naval sonar market over the forecast period with a market share of 37.3%. The rgion's naval sonar market is valued at US$846 million in 2019, and is anticipated to reach US$969 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 1.37% over the forecast period. The cumulative Asia Pacific military spending on naval sonars is estimated to be US$10.9 billion from 2019 to 2029. The growth is attributed to the increasing defense spending by countries such as India, China, Australia, Pakistan and South Korea on acquisition of new surface vessels and submarines equipped with advanced sonar systems.




North America is projected to emerge as the second largest market for naval sonar system between 2019 and 2029. The region is expected to account for 26.6% of the global spending on naval sonar systems over the forecast period. Cumulatively, North America is projected to spend US$7.7 billion on naval sonar systems over the forecast period. In 2019, the regional expenditure is valued at US$582 million in 2019. It is anticipated to increase to US$813 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 3.41%. Europe is expected to emerge as the third largest market for naval sonars systems over the forecast period. The cumulative global military spending on naval sonars is estimated to be US$7.6 billion from 2019 to 2029. The acquisition of sonar systems by NATO countries to counter the growing presence of Russian naval vessels is anticipated to drive the market growth.

The hull mounted sonar is expected to be the largest segment in the global naval sonar market during the forecast period. The hull mounted sonar segment is valued at US$1.1 billion in 2019, and is anticipated to reach US$1.5 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 3.54% over the forecast period.
