Submarine Market Dynamics

Various seafaring nations worldwide are investing in procuring and upgrading their submarine fleets to safeguard their maritime boundaries. This is because submarines are considered one of the most critical elements of a country’s naval forces, capable of operating covertly and performing various missions, including launching surprise attacks against enemy targets, and serving as a deterrent to potential disputes. Disputes over offshore territories and maritime boundaries, driven by the need to exploit offshore resources, are expected to be a major driver regarding the strengthening of submarine capabilities for many countries.

Furthermore, growing emphasis on establishing the nuclear triad and enhancing deterrence capabilities is expected to propel demand for submarines. For instance, submarines equipped with ballistic missiles are most likely to survive an incoming first strike by hiding underwater and launching a retaliatory second strike at their opponent.

Submarine Market Segments

The key segments in the submarine market are nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSN), nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBN), diesel electric submarines (SSK), diesel AIP submarines (SSP), and midget submarines (SSM). Over 2023–33, the market is expected to be dominated by the nuclear-powered attack submarine segment (SSN), mainly driven by several high-value procurement programs worldwide, such as the US Navy’s Virginia-class procurement, the Indian Navy’s SSN program, the Chinese Type 095 program, the Brazilian Navy’s SN-BR project, and the French Navy’s Barracuda-class procurement.

The SSN segment is expected to experience strong growth over the next decade due to the advantages that nuclear-powered submarines offer over conventionally powered submarines. Additionally, these submarines are designed to remain submerged and undetected for extended periods due to their stealth capability, which allows them to operate at high speeds with minimal noise, further enhancing their operational flexibility.
