Global Military Sonar Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Military Sonar market size is expected to reach $ 6069 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 12.1% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Military sonars can be classified into two basic types, active and passive. Active sonar uses an array of electro-acoustic transducers to generate a sonic pulse, or ping, and hydrophones to detect the echoes of the pulse. Distance measurements are made using the time taken to receive the echo, plus the known speed of sound in water.
Military sonar has multiple applications in the naval industry, some of which are listed below.
1.Mine and obstacle detection
Mine detection sonar systems can help detect various types of mines, including bottom mines, moored mines and floating mines, as well as other objects that could obstruct naval vessel navigation. Sonars provide full coverage and awareness of surrounding waters in addition to high-resolution images and detailed bathymetry of the seabed, which enables naval vessels to safely navigate uncharted waters.
2.Anti-submarine warfare
ASW underwater sonar equipment is used by naval vessels to detect, classify, track and attack underwater threats and targets, such as torpedoes. ASW sonars are usually of two types, active or passive. Active sonars are used to detect the acoustic signature of a submarine or underwater threat and target its position. Passive sonars are used to listen to the sounds of submarines and surface vessels using underwater hydrophones.
3.Navigation and communication
Sonar technology is used by submarines to safely navigate, as radars are not effective under water. Sonar arrays are usually hull-mounted or towed and enable the detection of faraway objects.
4.Communication sonar systems use sound propagation to communicate with other vessels and submarines.
Global key players of military sonar include Thales Group, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, L3Harris Technologies, Atlas Elektronik, etc. The top three players hold a share about 65%.
Asia-Pacific is the largest market, has a share about 47%, followed by Region Two, and Region Three, with share 22% and 19%, separately.
In terms of product type, variable depth sonar is the largest segment, occupied for a share of 44%, and in terms of application, surface vessels has a share about 61 percent.
