Global Naval Vessels and Surface Combatants Market Revenue is Estimated to Reach USD 240,717.98 million by 2031, Growing at a CAGR of 12.60%: Straits Research

North America leads in revenue contribution for the Naval Vessels and Surface Combatants Market, with a projected CAGR of 13.30%. This growth is driven by carrier replacement programs and corvette purchases, supported by major companies like General Dynamics Corporation and Lockheed Martin Corporation. Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific anticipates a CAGR of 14.60%, fueled by rising defense spending from the People's Liberation Army Navy (China) and the Indian Navy, while the Middle East sees expansion with Saudi Arabia's plans for Arleigh Burke-class destroyer purchases. The rest of the world, including Africa and Latin America, experiences growth amidst heightened geopolitical tensions, while Europe's market grows due to increased private sector investments and demand for advanced autonomous warships and cruises.


New York, United States, Feb. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Naval ships and surface combatants are examples of modern warships used for operations on the seaside. Maritime warships are equipped with weapon launching systems, such as anti-submarine rocket launchers, torpedo launching systems, and vertical missile launchers. The surface combatants include ships, platforms, aircraft carriers, destroyers, corvettes, amphibious ships, frigates, and auxiliary vessels. One of the factors predicted to boost the market is incorporating information, communication, and technology (ICT) into military ships.

Robotics and Technological Advancements Adopted by Shipbuilding Facilities Drive the Global Market

According to Straits Research, “The global naval vessels and surface combatants market size was valued at USD 82,730 million in 2022. It is projected to reach USD 240,717.98 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 12.60% during the forecast period (2023-2031).” New technologies in naval ships and surface combatants make sea operations at sea safe and effective. The shipyard uses robotics for shipbuilding to carry out tasks, including welding, blasting, heavy lifting, and painting. At some of the largest shipyards, such as the South Korean Geoje Shipyard, about 30 ships are launched yearly. They are implementing robotic technology to automate the manufacturing process by more than 65%. These mechanical systems help ship manufacturers increase production rates, maintain precision, and reduce overall production costs. Due to the advantages of automated technology in shipbuilding, the market for naval ships and surface combatants is growing significantly.

Shipyards are essential to this expansion, facilitated by the rapid adoption of sophisticated automation technologies in developing countries like China and Brazil. For instance, Brazil's shipyards are rapidly automating to meet the demands of the marine and offshore industries and to fill their skills shortage.

Modernization of the Naval Forces Creates Tremendous Opportunities

It is anticipated that territorial disputes and emerging maritime threats, such as smuggling, piracy, and terrorism, will be the key factors driving the purchase of naval systems. The fleets of Canada, the United Kingdom, France, China, and India are all aging and needing replacement. As a result, many countries have initiated naval modernization plans to replace aging ships in their current service to improve their naval capabilities and resist asymmetric threats. The need for extra naval vessels is further supported by the ongoing anti-piracy operations in regions like the Malacca Straits and the Gulf of Aden, which maritime commerce routes have badly impacted. As a result, new navy ships will be bought worldwide during the anticipated period.

Regional Analysis

North America is the most significant revenue contributor and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 13.30% over the projection period. This growth is attributed to the carrier replacement program and purchases of Corvettes on the American market. Significant businesses in North America, including General Dynamics Corporation, Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc., and Lockheed Martin Corporation, contribute to the market's anticipated growth.

Asia-Pacific's Naval Vessels and Surface Combatants Industry Share is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 14.60% during the projection period. The region with the fastest predicted growth during the projection period is Asia-Pacific. The People's Liberation Army Navy (CHINA) and the Indian Navy's increased defense spending are to blame for this trend. The Indian Navy will purchase seven corvettes from Garden Research Shipbuilders and Engineers Ltd. (GRSE), Hindustan Shipyard Ltd., Cochin Shipyard Ltd., and Mazagon Docks Ltd. for USD 2,000 million. These corvettes will partially replace the conventional Russian-built 1241-RE missile boats.
