Growing Demand for Offshore Oil & Gas Exploration andRising Maritime Security Concerns & Defense Investments are likely to propel the market during the forecast period.
According to TechSci Research report, “Asia-Pacific AUV and ROV Market – By Country, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, Asia-Pacific AUV and ROV Market was valued at USD 1.63Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2.34 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR o f 6.10% during the forecast period.
The Asia-Pacific region is home to some of the world's largest offshore oil and gasreserves, particularly in countries like China, Malaysia, Indonesia, andAustralia. As the demand for energy continues to rise, oil and gas companies are expanding their exploration and production activities in deep and ultra-deep waters. AUVsand ROVs play a crucial role in offshore oil and gas operations by assisting in pipeline inspections, subsea infrastructure maintenance, and underwater drilling support. These vehicles help operators reduce costs, improve safety,and enhance efficiency by eliminating the need for divers in hazardous environments. The adoption of advanced AUV and ROV technologies is also driven by increasing regulatory requirements for environmental safety and structural integrity inoffshore projects. Governments and environmental agencies are enforcing stricter inspection and maintenance standards, further boosting the demand for these underwater vehicles. Additionally, the transition towards decarbonizationis encouraging companies to explore offshore renewable energy, such as windfarms. AUVs and ROVs are used for surveying the seabed and maintaining subseacables, adding another layer of growth to the market.

Based on Application, The Drilling & Well Completion Support held the largest market share in 2024. Drilling and well completion support is the dominant application in the Asia-Pacific AUV and ROV market due to the region’s strong reliance on offshore oil and gas exploration and production (E&P). Several factors contribute to this dominance: The Asia-Pacific region is home to some of the world's largest offshore oil and gas reserves, particularly in China, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Australia. With rising energy demand, governments and private enterprises are expanding their deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling operations. AUVs and ROVs are essential for wellhead inspections, subsea infrastructure monitoring, and pipeline installation, making them critical assets in drilling and well completion activities. Many oil and gas reserves in the region are located in challenging deep-sea environments, where human divers cannot operate safely. ROVs equipped with robotic arms, cameras, and high-precision sensors play a crucial role in assisting in drilling, well intervention, and maintenance operations at extreme depths. These vehicles enhance safety, reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency. AUVs and ROVs help oil and gas companies reduce operational risks by providing real-time data and high-resolution imaging for wellbore analysis. They minimize the need for human intervention in hazardous environments, reducing accidents and downtime while ensuring compliance with strict regulatory standards. The integration of AI, automation, and remote monitoring systems in AUVs and ROV shas further enhanced their capabilities in drilling and well completion support. These advancements allow for precise wellhead positioning, pressure monitoring, and real-time troubleshooting, making them indispensable in offshore drilling.
Based on country, India is emerging as the fastest-growing region in the Asia-Pacific AUV and ROV market, driven by rapid advancements in maritime security, offshore energy exploration, and deep-sea research. Several key factors contribute to India's dominance in this sector: India is aggressively expanding its offshore oil and gas exploration to meet its growing energy demand. The country has significant offshore reserves in the Mumbai High, Krishna-Godavari Basin, and Cauvery Basin, where AUVs and ROVs are deployed for pipeline inspection, subsea infrastructure monitoring, and drilling support. Additionally, India is investing in offshore wind energy, further increasing the need for underwater robotic systems. India is heavily investing in naval modernization to strengthen its maritime security in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). The Indian Navy is deploying AUVs and ROVs for underwater surveillance, anti-submarine warfare, and mine counter measure operations. With rising geopolitical tensions and an increasing focus on securing undersea communication cables, India is prioritizing the acquisition of advanced unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). India is actively exploring deep-sea mining opportunities, particularly in the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB), which holds vast reserves of polymetallic nodules. The Deep Ocean Mission, launched by the Indian government, is driving investments in AUVs and ROVs for seabed mapping, mineral extraction, and marine biodiversity studies. India’s government is promoting indigenous AUV and ROV development through collaborations with DRDO, ISRO, and private technology firms. The focus on Make in India and strategic partnerships with international companies are accelerating innovation, making India a leading player in the Asia-Pacific underwater robotics market.
