Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Companies

The autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) market is valued at USD 2.0 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 4.3 billion by 2029; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.9% from 2024 to 2029. Technological advancements in AUVs, rising deployment of advanced technologies to ensure border and maritime security, and increasing investments in oil and gas drilling activities are key drivers driving the growth of the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) market.

Some prominent AUV industry players have predominantly used acquisition and partnership tactics to strengthen their market position.

• In March 2024, Exail Technologies (France) launched the Phins 9 Compact, an advanced inertial navigation system (INS) specifically created for unmanned underwater vehicles. It provides excellent navigation performance, reliability, and size, weight, and power (SWAP) efficiency. The system is built around a high-performance fiber-optic gyroscope (FOG)-based inertial measurement unit (IMU) with advanced accelerometers, making it the most compact high-performance INS available on the market.
• In November 2023, KONGSBERG (Norway) announced a contract to supply 3 HUGIN AUVs to marine survey contractor, Argeo (Norway). Kongsberg will deliver 2 HUGIN superiors and 1 HUGIN 6000 by the first quarter of 2025. These AUVs will be used for ocean surveys, mapping, and other subsea operations.
