Degaussing System Market Trends

• The growing marine surveillance is driving the market growth

Market CAGR for the degaussing system is being driven by the rising number of marine threats. Due to their obvious magnetic fingerprints and easy visibility, ships and warships are easily recognized. Submarines are especially susceptible to mines because they operate undersea, where mines are laid, and they play a vital role in naval operations. The need for degaussing and deperming systems, which are used to demagnetize submarines' magnetic signatures, has increased due to this vulnerability. The use of degaussing and deperming devices has expanded due to the rise in submarine delivery in developing nations like India, China, and South Korea. The Indian defense ministry wanted to carry out a dated plan to buy six units of conventional submarines in June 2021. This planned proposal aims to establish competition between two of the top shipbuilders, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited and Larsen & Toubro Ltd. (India) (India).

A maritime war exercise prepares naval forces to investigate conflict outcomes or test tactics without engaging in combat. It is a full-scale practice run for navy maneuvers used in wartime. A joint or combined exercise conducted between two or more nations is known as a maritime war exercise. Due to the requirement to improve the combat abilities of naval forces, the number of maritime warfare exercises has been exponentially growing over the past ten years. For instance, India participated in Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC), the world's largest multinational biannual maritime combat exercise, which took place in June 2022. The employment of degaussing, ranging, and deperming equipment to neutralize or demagnetize the magnetic field of navy warships and shield them from sea mines has expanded due to these exercises. Thus, driving the degaussing system market revenue.

Degaussing System Market Segment Insights

The degaussing system market segmentation, based on type, includes degaussing, ranging, and deperming. In 2022, the degaussing sector dominated the market. Naval boats' magnetic signatures are diminished by degaussing devices, making it more difficult for undersea mines to locate and harm them. Degaussing systems were typically constructed from thick copper wires. Nevertheless, high-temperature superconductors are utilized in degaussing systems today because they are lighter and use less power than traditional degaussing systems.

January 2021 American Superconductor Company (AMSC) was granted a hybrid firm-fixed-price, cost-plus-fixed-fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to provide a high-temperature superconducting degaussing system (HTS). The HTS will be provided in the class of landing platform docks. The contract costs USD 14.94 million, and delivery is scheduled for September 2023.

The Deperming System has seen the fastest increase in demand from naval forces of nations including the US, China, and Japan in the second decade of this century due to a rise in the need for equipment that gives submarines camouflage.

The degaussing system market segmentation, based on vessel type, includes small vessel (< 100 m), medium vessel (100-200 m), and large vessel (>200 m). Over the forecast period, the medium vessel (100-200 m) segment is anticipated to dominate the market. The main reasons for the dominance of the medium vessel category are the expanding requirement to defend submarines from hostile underwater mines by engaging in degaussing operations. However, in 2022, the large vessel sector showed the fastest growth rate. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) import demand is rising in Europe and India. In addition, rising demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Asia and expanding U.S. supplies are other factors anticipated to contribute to the accelerated growth of this market.

The degaussing system market segmentation, based on end-user, includes OEM, aftermarket, and services. Due to increased the delivery of new ships worldwide, the OEM segment is anticipated to experience the fastest growth during the projected period. Due to increased demand for MRO of the old fleet, the aftermarket category is anticipated to develop at the quickest rate throughout the projected period.

By Region, the study provides market insights into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World. The degaussing system market is dominated by North America, and this dominance is predicted to last for the entire projection period. This is linked to elements including the requirement to protect boats from adversaries and growing defense industry investments. The market development in this area is also being fueled by technological improvements made by numerous government and non-government groups to increase the efficacy of degaussing systems, particularly in the United States. For instance, the American Society of Military Comptrollers (ASMC) released their degaussing system in Special Purpose Ships (SPS) in June 2021. This system is intended to protect warships and is 90% lighter than standard degaussing goods.

Europe’s degaussing system market accounts for the second-largest market share. The European shipbuilding sector maintains its position as a pioneer in innovation, a technology provider, and cleaner and safer ships. The European Union (EU) shipping industry provides USD 165 billion to the annual GDP growth of the EU with its diverse fleet of commercial boats. Further, the German degaussing system market held the largest market share, and the UK degaussing system market was the fastest growing market in the European region.

The Asia-Pacific Degaussing System Market is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2023 to 2030. Due to escalating maritime border tensions between nations in this region, including India, China, Japan, and the Philippines, which have increased their military spending, Asia Pacific is predicted to rise in the degaussing system market continuously. China declared an RMB 1.55 trillion ($224.8 billion) annual defense budget in March 2023, which is a nominal 7.2 percent increase over the RMB 1.45 trillion ($229.6 billion) budget for 2022. In the near future, degaussing system sales will be driven by these nations' plans to construct, design, and acquire new naval warships. Moreover, China’s degaussing system market held the largest market share, and the Indian degaussing system market was the fastest-growing market in the Asia-Pacific region.
