Sonobuoy Market Size to Reach USD 690.34 Million by 2031, Growing at a 6.15% CAGR, Reports Mordor Intelligence
Growing investments in maritime surveillance, naval modernization, and ASW capabilities are driving demand for advanced sonobuoy systems worldwide.
HYDERABAD, TELANGANA, INDIA, July 29, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- According to Mordor Intelligence, the sonobuoy market size is expected to grow from USD 512.23 million in 2026 to USD 690.34 million by 2031, registering a 6.15% CAGR. Growth is being driven by increasing investments in anti-submarine warfare, expanding naval modernization programs, and the adoption of advanced underwater surveillance technologies. While North America remains the leading market, Asia-Pacific is witnessing the fastest growth due to rising submarine deployments and defence spending.Sonobuoy Market Key Growth Factors
Digital sonobuoy architectures are replacing analog systems, enabling enhanced multichannel data processing and longer-range RF connectivity: The adoption of digital signal processing is enhancing sonobuoy performance by enabling faster transmission of acoustic data, improved target classification, and more effective integration of information from multiple sensors. These advancements support quicker decision-making and strengthen underwater surveillance capabilities, making digital architectures a key focus for fleet modernization.
Rising numbers of quiet diesel-electric and AIP submarines are driving greater demand for expendable ASW systems: The increasing deployment of quiet diesel-electric and air-independent propulsion submarines is driving greater demand for advanced underwater surveillance. In response, naval forces are expanding anti-submarine warfare operations and strengthening distributed monitoring capabilities, supporting continued growth in the sonobuoy market.
