Description

Report Overview

Active sonars are underwater acoustic systems that emit sound pulses and analyze the returning echoes to detect, locate, and track objects such as submarines, marine life, or underwater obstacles. These systems are widely used in naval defense, commercial shipping, fisheries, and oceanographic research due to their ability to operate effectively in deep and murky waters where passive sonars or visual methods fall short. The market for active sonars is driven by increasing defense budgets, rising maritime security concerns, and the growing need for underwater exploration in oil & gas and renewable energy sectors. Technological advancements, such as digital signal processing and multi-beam sonars, are enhancing detection accuracy and range, further fueling adoption. However, high development costs and environmental concerns related to marine life disturbance pose challenges. Geographically, North America and Asia-Pacific dominate demand, with the latter experiencing rapid growth due to escalating naval modernization programs in China and India. Key players include Thales Group, Lockheed Martin, and Kongsberg Gruppen, who are investing in innovations like autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) integrated with sonar capabilities. The market is projected to grow steadily, supported by expanding maritime trade and underwater infrastructure development.

The global Active Sonars market size was estimated at USD 690.21 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.25% during the forecast period.
