Autonomous marine vehicles are robotic equipment that travel below or on the surface of water, without requiring input from a human operator. The autonomous marine vehicles market is segmented into autonomous surface vehicles (which travel on the surface of the water) and autonomous underwater vehicles (which travel below the surface of the water). Autonomous marine vehicles are used for various purposes such as recording oceanographic data, imaging, navigation, communication, collision avoidance and propulsion. The autonomous marine vehicles market covered in this report is segmented by type into surface vehicle, underwater vehicle. The autonomous marine vehicles market is also segmented by application into military & defense, archeological, exploration, oil & gas, environmental protection and monitoring, search and salvage operations, oceanography and by technology into imaging, navigation, communication, collision avoidance, propulsion. The global autonomous marine vehicles market is expected to grow from $3.18 billion in 2020 to $3.43 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth is mainly due to the companies resuming their operations and adapting to the new normal while recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The autonomous marine vehicles market is expected to reach $5.1 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 10.4%. The autonomous marine vehicles market is being driven by a rise in hydrographic, oceanographic and environmental surveys conducted globally. A hydrographic survey measures, describes and maps features that can be found underwater. The main purpose of conducting these surveys is to produce navigational charts essential for safe transit of vessels. An oceanographic survey helps in the accurate understanding of marine and freshwater environments, for port and harbor development, wastewater and industrial outfalls, power plant intakes/outfalls and offshore disposals. An autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) provides an efficient method of undertaking a hydrographic survey, as it saves both cost and time. It is also flexible and convenient which allows for faster deployment for a number of survey requirements, from event surveys to large coastal surveys. For instance, according to the world’s first autonomous hydrographic survey, by 4D Ocean after the channel coastal observatory (CCO) commissioned it to carry out a hydrographic survey of the seabed that is offshore of Hurst Spit, Western Solent, with the help of a SeaRobotics ASV 2.5. The vulnerability of ships to cyber threats due to automation is a major restraint for the autonomous marine vehicles market. This is mainly because cyberspace and its associated infrastructure are vulnerable to a versatile range of risks coming from cyber threats and attacks. The use of automation which negates the need for human intervention on ships and in ports increases the chances of security breaches. A cyber-attack can misguide an autonomous ship to move in a different direction or move to a separate port, which can lead to misplacement and delay of goods and services. For example, container ship and supply vessel operator A.P. Moller-Maersk became a victim of a cyber-attack that resulted in a loss of around $250–300 million for the company. According to a survey by law firm Clyde & Co and the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology (IMarEST), over two-third of marine industry executives surveyed from across the world fear that unmanned/autonomous ships present a greater cyber-security risk than traditional ships. Maritime drone swarming for better surveillance and investigation capabilities is an emerging trend in the autonomous marine vehicles market. Maritime drone swarms are a large group of underwater vehicles moving together for a particular purpose. The drone swarm has a wide range of capabilities in defence applications, since it is capable of performing surveillance and investigation tasks followed by defensive or offensive countermeasures. As the swarm works collectively to navigate through the underwater environment, it senses a wider area in a quick time by making use of a number of sensing techniques to build a comprehensive map of the environment. For instance, the European Union (EU) is currently funding a research project called Ocean2020 which will facilitate a combination of drones and unmanned submarines into swarms or fleet units. In another example, the US Navy's Undersea Warfare Center approved a grant of $78,000 for Aquabotix’s SwarmDiver technology to support the US Navy and allied vessels. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has regulations related to ballast water management in marine vehicles. Ballast water is defined as water that is pumped inside a marine vehicle in order to maintain safe operating conditions and operations. Regulation D-3 by the IMO requires that ballast water management systems which use active substances shall be approved in accordance with the specifications defined by the IMO. As per the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, active substances are those which include a virus or a fungus, having a general or specific action on or against harmful aquatic organisms or pathogens.

The market consists of revenue generated by the driver monitoring system companies manufacturing the driver manufacturing systems such as facial recognition/ head movement, heart rate monitoring, blink monitoring, steering angle sensor and a pre-collision system. The global driver monitoring systems market is expected grow from $0.96 billion in 2020 to $1.06 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth is mainly due to the companies resuming their operations and adapting to the new normal while recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $1.64 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 12%. The driver monitoring system market covered in this report is segmented by monitoring type into driver alertness/distraction monitoring; driver fatigue monitoring; drunk driving monitoring; identity recognition and by vehicle type into passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles. Increase in road-safety awareness due to the rise in several on-road accidents caused by the driver due to fatigue and distraction is the major driver for the driver monitoring systems (DMS) market. According to publication by World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020, approximately 1.35 million people lost lives each year due to road traffic injuries. The average rate of deaths per 100,000 population is 27.5, and the risk of a road traffic death is more than three times higher in low-income countries than in high-income countries, which have the average rate is 8.3 deaths per 100,000 population. The DMS is gaining more importance due to the growing need for understanding and adjusting to the driving conditions and reduce the number of accidents. Rise in road accidents due to fatigue, distraction, and lack of alertness in the driver coupled with drinking and driving help the DMS market to witness notable growth. The high cost of certain systems, such as adaptive cruise control (ACC), night vision, lane departure warning system (LDWS), blind-spot detection (BSD), and limiting its adoption only among luxury cars hamper the growth of driver monitoring systems market. The cost of commercial systems is very high ranging between $5000 and $40,000 for building eye-tracking systems. The high cost of these systems ultimately increases the overall cost of cars and reduces the interests of car owners to adopt such systems. Additionally, complex installation procedures for driver monitoring systems is also a major factor that is expected to restrain the growth of the global driver monitoring system market over the forecast period. The global driver monitoring system market is experiencing several technological advances that are expected to boost the market in the forecast period. A rising trend is prominent OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and MROs (Maintenance Repair and Overhaul) developing advanced detection technologies for drivers of vehicles. For instance, Panasonic Corporation has developed a drowsiness-control technology to detect and predict the level of drowsiness of a person, enabling him/her to remain comfortably awake while driving. Similarly, Mercedes-Benz has developed an innovative attention assist device that can detect when drivers start to get drowsy and prompt them to stop until it's too late. Attention assist monitors the actions of the driver and creates an individual driver profile at the start of each trip, which is then continuously compared with current sensor data. In April 2019, Nidec Corporation acquired Omron Automotive Electronics Co. Ltd for undisclosed amount.
