Global AUV & ROV Market Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2019-2024 – ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "AUV & ROV Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2019 - 2024)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The market for AUV & ROV is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.17% during the forecast period of 2019 - 2024

Factors such as rising offshore oil and gas production activities, growing offshore wind power industry, and increasing oil and gas decommissioning activities are expected to be major drivers driving the AUV & ROV market. However, global offshore investments have been in a steep decline, as result of the oil price collapse during mid-2014; this, in turn, has resulted in a less number of offshore oil and gas activities in the recent years and has limited the growth of the market studied.

• The oil and gas sector accounted for the largest share in the AUV & ROV market by end-use application in 2018, owing to the demand for these vehicles during across all phases of the offshore oilfield life cycle.
• The rising deepwater and ultra-deepwater discoveries are expected to open up new avenues for the market studied.
• North America is expected to dominate the market with the majority of the demand coming from the countries such as the United States and Mexico.

Key Market Trends

Increasing Demand from Oil and Gas Sector

• The oil and gas sector is expected to maintain its dominance in the market studied over the forecast period. ROVs are widely used across all phases of the offshore oilfield life cycle. They are also used for offshore drilling support and vessel-based services, including subsea hardware installation, construction, pipeline inspection, survey and facilities inspection, maintenance, and repair among others.
• However, the AUV market in the oil and gas industry is in its initial stages but is experiencing growing demand. Therefore, for AUVs, the oil and gas industry is expected to be the biggest growth driver during the forecast period.
• As of 2018, the majority of deepwater or ultra-deepwater production has taken place in four countries: Brazil, the United States, Angola, and Norway. Brazil is a world leader in the development of deepwater and ultra-deepwater projects. This positive growth trend in crude oil production, from deepwater and ultra-deepwater resources in these regions, is expected to drive the demand for ROVs in the coming years.
• In 2018, Brazil and the United States together accounted for more than 90% of ultra-deepwater production, globally. The presence of the most experienced international oil companies in the deepwater development and largest deepwater reserves makes the United States and Brazil the most attractive countries, for upstream deepwater investment.
• Moreover, production from the deepwater fields that are either producing or are under development is expected to reach 7.6 million barrel per day by 2025 and 9 million barrel per day by 2040, thus, boosting the growth of the market studied, during the forecast period.
• On the other hand, over 950,000 ton of topsides are slated for removal across the North Sea, of which more than 605,000 ton will be from UKCS. The United Kingdom is expected to spend around EUR 15.3 billion on decommissioning, over the next eight years. Approximately, 2,400 wells are expected to be decommissioned across the whole North Sea and West of Shetland region, by 2027. Around 914 of these wells are located across the Norwegian, Danish, and Dutch sectors.
• Therefore, with a number of offshore oil and gas projects including decommissioning of offshore oil and gas assets set to start in the coming years along with the rising investments in offshore oil and gas sector, the demand for AUV & ROVs is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
