The report "Unmanned Surface Vehicles Market by Application (Mine Countermeasure, Anti-Submarine Warfare, Hydrographic Survey, Security), Type (Autonomous, Remotely Operated), System, Cruising Speed, Hull Type, Endurance, Size and Region - Global Forecast to 2030" The market size of unmanned surface vehicles is estimated to be USD 0.82 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 1.59 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 14.1%. The unmanned surface vehicles market is growing rapidly due to several major reasons. First, more companies and researchers need USVs to monitor water quality and map the ocean, which boosts demand in environmental and scientific fields. At the same time, defense agencies face more asymmetric threats and want stronger maritime security, so they are adding USVs to their surveillance and reconnaissance fleets. Finally, as offshore oil & gas firms increase their capital spending, they rely on USVs for inspection, monitoring, and support tasks. Together, these trends are driving rapid growth in the USVs market.

Based on size, the small segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the unmanned surface vehicles market during the forecast period
Based on size, the small-size segment is growing the fastest in the unmanned surface vehicles market because it is more practical, affordable, and easy to use for many tasks. Small USVs are lightweight and flexible, which makes them perfect for jobs like port monitoring, water surveys, and underwater mine detection in shallow areas. They can be launched quickly without needing large ships or special equipment. Thanks to new technology, even small USVs can now carry advanced sensors and work on their own with minimal help. Due to lower operating and maintenance costs, they are gaining popularity among both government and private users. This is especially true in places that need better coastal security or want to do more research in oceans and rivers.
Based on cruising speed, the >30 knots segment is projected to lead the unmanned surface vehicles market
The >30 knots segment is the largest in the unmanned surface vehicles market because fast-moving vehicles are very useful for defense and emergency operations. These USVs help with tasks like patrolling, tracking suspicious activities, and detecting underwater mines. In situations where quick action is needed, high-speed USVs are the best option. They save time by reaching locations faster and can respond quickly to threats. That is why many governments, and naval forces choose them for security and military use. Their strong performance and fast response make this segment the most in-demand in the cruising speed category.
North America will be the largest market in the unmanned surface vehicles market.
North America leads the unmanned surface vehicles market because of strong defense spending, reliable manufacturers, and growing commercial use. In the US and Canada, military forces use USVs for surveillance, reconnaissance, anti-submarine warfare, and mine detection, which drives steady investment in advanced technology. Major US companies have strong partnerships with naval and research organizations, helping them secure long-term contracts to supply intelligent USVs for environmental monitoring and scientific research. The commercial sector, especially the oil & gas industry, also uses USVs for offshore inspection and pipeline monitoring, showing how useful these vehicles are in harsh marine environments. North American USVs come with advanced sensors and communication systems that help businesses reduce risk and boost efficiency. Ongoing government and private funding drives innovation in autonomy, endurance, and payload capacity. North America continues to lead the global USV market due to robust defense support, strong industry partnerships, increasing commercial demand, and ongoing investment.
