#Cable Manager Magnetic Strip Market Size And Revenue Forecast Through 2032
The kongsberg sounder uncrewed surface vessel (USV) market size has experienced rapid expansion in recent years. This market is set to increase from $1 billion in 2025 to $1.15 billion in 2026, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.9%. The historical growth can be ascribed to factors such as the increasing demand for hydrographic mapping activities, a rise in offshore oil and gas exploration projects, greater investments in maritime defense modernization, the development of coastal and port infrastructure, and a growing necessity for cost-efficient marine survey operations.
The market for Kongsberg Sounder Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USV) is projected to experience rapid expansion over the coming years. This market is anticipated to reach $2.02 billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2%. This projected growth is driven by factors such as the greater acceptance of autonomous maritime survey technologies, the escalating need for real-time oceanographic data collection, increased funding for smart maritime infrastructure initiatives, the broadening of offshore renewable energy projects, and an intensified emphasis on unmanned maritime operations to enhance safety. Key trends throughout this period encompass the wider utilization of autonomous hydrographic survey platforms for gathering marine data, the increasing rollout of multi-purpose uncrewed surface vessels in offshore activities, a surging requirement for high-precision hydro-acoustic survey functionalities, the broadened application of remotely operated vessels in dangerous maritime settings, and the enhanced incorporation of modular sensor payloads for various marine survey purposes.

Kongsberg Sounder Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) Market Growth Drivers: What Factors Are Accelerating Expansion?
The expansion of offshore oil and gas exploration activities is anticipated to drive the growth of the Kongsberg sounder uncrewed surface vessel (USV) market in the future. Offshore oil and gas exploration involves locating and extracting petroleum resources from beneath the ocean floor through drilling and production operations. The increase in these exploration activities is primarily due to rising energy demand, which prompts energy companies to explore previously untapped hydrocarbon reserves in deepwater and ultra-deepwater regions. Kongsberg sounder uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) support offshore exploration ecosystems by providing autonomous, high-precision survey capabilities, making them highly suitable for challenging marine environments. For instance, in March 2025, according to the Global Energy Monitor, a US-based nonprofit organization, in 2024, nineteen offshore projects achieved their first oil or gas production, contributing 71% of the total reserves brought online during the year, equivalent to 6.5 billion barrels of oil equivalent (bboe). Therefore, the increasing offshore oil and gas exploration activities are a key factor driving the expansion of the Kongsberg sounder uncrewed surface vessel (USV) market.
