Market Size and Forecast for Electric Actuators in Marine Defense

The market is poised for significant growth, driven by increasing demand for advanced control systems. Market analysis and reports indicate a substantial rise in contracts worldwide, with notable developments in Russia and Ukraine. As these nations modernize their naval vessels, the market forecast, particularly in valve applications, remains robust. More than half of marine defense vessels in the US are equipped with actuators for improved power and control.

Trends and Growth Drivers in the US Electric Actuators Market

Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2023 as the base year and 2024 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market. The market in marine defense refers to the industry of systems used in various marine defense applications. Electric actuators are devices that convert electrical energy into mechanical motion, used to control or automate operations in marine defense equipment and systems.

Key US Electric Actuators Market Driver

The demand for defense aircraft fleets is increasing in the US during the forecast period. For instance, the US Department of Defense (DoD) currently operates about 450 F-35 aircraft and plans to operate about 2,500 of them by the mid-2040s. The US is the headquarters for a prominent number of aircraft owners with a significant share of the aircraft fleet, such as F-35, F-16, F-22, and others. Increasing expenditure in the defense industry is one of the major factors for the rise in the number of aircraft. 

Moreover, the use of defense aircraft helps reduce the burden on maintenance personnel and provides higher reliability and lower lifecycle costs. Additionally, almost all shipbuilding projects in the US incorporate electric actuators for enhanced operational efficiency. Electric linear actuators hold a significant market share. Hence, with the growth in demand for defense aircraft and ships, the demand is also expected to increase, thereby driving the industry during the forecast period. 

Market Trends

The high growth potential of the market is encouraging companies in the market to enter into strategic partnerships and acquisitions to expand their customer base and footprint. Therefore, companies in the US - electric actuators for marine actuators market are forming strategic partnerships and carrying out acquisitions to remain competitive. For instance, in January 2022, Moog Inc. collaborated with the US military research agency, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), to deploy its electromechanical actuators for launch motion control in DARPA's Gremlins unmanned aircraft. 

Therefore, such development in the electric actuator for marine and defense industry is expected to accelerate the market growth and trends during the forecast period.

Challenges in the US Electric Actuators Market Marine Defense

The initial setup cost in the marine and defense industry is higher when compared with alternatives like pneumatic actuators and hydraulic actuators, which can impact their demand. For instance, the cost of the actuator is USD 100- USD 2,000, depending on the electronics and design, whereas the cost of a pneumatic actuator is around USD 100, which makes it more cost-effective.

Moreover, due to the high initial setup cost, enterprises in industries such as the marine industry might opt for substitute products instead of actuators which will hinder the growth of the market. This, in turn, may restrict the growth of the US market for marine and defense industry during the forecast period.

In-Depth Analysis of the Marine Defense Sector

Type Segment Analysis: 

The market share growth by the linear actuator segment will be significant during the forecast period. This actuator takes the rotational force of a motor and converts it into linear movement. Electric linear actuators are easier to install than electric rotary actuators. 

Customised Report as per your requirements!

The linear actuator segment was the largest and was valued at USD 450.96 million in 2018. Further, Due to the increased benefits, they have a wide range of applications in various industries, such as defense and marine vehicles, as well as industrial automation. This encourages various vendors to offer electric linear actuators. For instance, Thomson Industries Inc. offers electric linear actuators for the defense industry. This solution is used in hydraulic and pneumatic mechanisms, which ensures greater safety and productivity. These factors will lead to an increase in demand, which, in turn, will drive the growth of the linear actuator market during the forecast period.

Application Segment Analysis:  

Based on application, the market has been segmented into vehicle and equipment, industrial automation, and robotics. The vehicle and equipment segment will account for the largest share of this segment.?  The vehicle and equipment segment is experiencing an increase in technological advances and a change in end-user preferences, due to which the demand in the vehicle and equipment segment is expected to remain stable. Fuel savings through weight reduction are prevalent in defense applications; for instance, actuators have been used in ground combat vehicles such as main battle tanks and artillery gun-laying systems, guns, and turrets. Thus, the vehicle and equipment segment is expected to grow significantly in the US market for the marine and defense industry during the forecast period.
