Global Sound Navigation and Ranging System Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The growing preference for deploying integrated sonar system is notably driving the global sound navigation and ranging system market growth, although factors such as challenges associated with the growing complexities in data management may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the global sound navigation and ranging system industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Global Sound Navigation and Ranging System Market Driver
The growing preference for deploying integrated sonar systems is notably driving the global sound navigation and ranging system market growth. Owing to the increased deployment of underwater manned/unmanned platforms, naval agencies focus on deploying integrated SONAR systems as an (anti-submarine warfare) ASW measure. To diminish the dominance of enemy submerged vehicles, many countries have been studying the scope of introducing new ASW technologies or enhancing their existing resources with advanced SONAR systems. Ultra Electronics Holdings Plc (Ultra Electronics)has been advancing the capabilities of its advanced sonobuoy and acoustic processing technologies to meet the growing requirement for advanced ASW strategies. The company has been offering integrated SONAR systems to various naval agencies to help them augment and transform their conventional ASW mechanism. In the integrated SONAR system approach, receivers and transmitters can operate as a single system despite being a geographically dispersed network. They also help in transmitting data from a hydrophone array or sonobuoy sensor directly to the graphical displays of naval control rooms.
Key Global Sound Navigation and Ranging System Market Trend
Growing focus on improving marine transportation safety is the key trend driving the global sound navigation and ranging system market growth. Offshoring activities are increasing worldwide due to globalization. The sea has become the major trade route for countries. Many countries are trying to improve safety standards for navigation because of the increase in international trade activities. Maritime transport is the largest means of transport in global trade. However, maritime security has become a concern for most countries across the world, as maritime crimes are increasing. Criminal groups exploit the open spaces of the high seas. As most water surface is beyond the territory of any country, criminal activity is not subjected to the jurisdiction of a single country. Hence, criminal groups exploit the freedom of navigation. This results in a rise in transnational maritime crimes, which are expected to increase during the forecast period if not addressed properly.
Key Global Sound Navigation and Ranging System Market Challenge
The major challenge impeding the global sound navigation and ranging system market growth market growth is the challenges associated with the growing complexities in data management. Owing to the growing tensions among nations about conflicts on sea borders, activities related to artificial island building, territorial disputes, and illegal entry into countries via the sea route drive the need for highly advanced surveillance airborne platforms such as maritime patrol aircraft and maritime patrol rotorcraft. The change in defense strategies to defend a nation's peace and prosperity elevates the need for multi-mission patrol aircraft (MMA), which are equipped with data links, sonobuoys, SONAR transmitter/receivers, and radars. These radars dispense large sets of data every second, leading to complexities in data management. An aircraft that is integrated with advanced sensors may generate over 10 GB of data per second. This needs to be transmitted to the cloud-based server through a high-bandwidth network. Hence, it is paramount for defense authorities to adopt a superior connectivity platform and network services.
This global sound navigation and ranging system market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.
