The Global Submarine Battery Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2021-2028, to reach USD 2.5 billion by 2028 end. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing need for high energy density batteries in submarines owing to their increased usage and advancements in technology, coupled with rising demand for submarine batteries due to modernization initiatives being undertaken by various governments across the globe.
A submarine battery is an electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy into electric current. The combination of fuel and electrode generates electricity, which in turn powers the motors and lights onboard submarines. Submarine batteries provide electrical power to submerged marine vessels by exploiting the potential difference between water (or saltwater) as electrolyte (supplying electrons) and air (with its oxygen). A major function of these devices is to supply continuous current when external alternating currents are not available: such as during battle or underwater exploration missions.
On the basis of Type, the global submarine battery market is segmented into valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries, flooded lead-acid batteries, and others.
Valve-regulated lead-acid batteries (VRLA) are rechargeable deep cycle battery that uses a valve to regulate the flow of gases in and out. The VRLA has been used for over 30 years as an alternative solution for sealed or "maintenance free" applications such as solar power systems, alarm panels, security system monitoring, etc. The key benefit is no need to refill with water which reduces maintenance costs and avoids potential hazards associated with spilled electrolytes when adding fluid.
Flooded lead-acid batteries use a container filled with sulfuric acid to generate power. The battery is composed of six cells and the electrolyte in each cell contains distilled water as its only component which creates an electric current when connected through a device, such as a car starter motor. The components of the flooded lead-acid battery include a container, plates, and separators. The electrolyte is also called “electrolyte solution” or “battery fluid”. It consists of water with sulfuric acid added to it. Battery fluid helps in generating power by carrying electric charges from one cell plate to another when it moves through narrow spaces between cells called septums where there are no electrodes present on top.
On the basis of Application, the global submarine battery market is segmented into for civilian use and for military use.
The civilian application of submarine batteries includes autonomous underwater vehicles, seabed mapping, oil and gas exploration, and seismic surveys. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are undersea robots that can perform various functions including gathering data about the ocean bottom while surveying currents or measuring water temperature. The AUV is connected to a surface ship by an umbilical cable through which it receives commands from the ship and transmits data.
Seabed mapping is used for a variety of purposes such as locating sunken ships, identifying potential oil or gas deposits, determining sea currents patterns, and much more. A subsea surveyor uses the submarine battery to power geophysical instruments attached from a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). Oil exploration companies use seabed mapping to find likely locations for drilling while mining companies may need this information when they are evaluating different sites for excavation. The maps generated by these surveys help with other tasks such as checking undersea cables and cable routes that run through shallow water where they can be damaged by natural forces like earthquakes or storms.
The application of submarine batteries for the military includes powering the weapon systems, launching torpedoes and missiles. These batteries also include a power source to provide electricity during an emergency. Its military application also includes deep-sea fiber optic cables that are laid on the seabed to transmit data between different points with a minimum risk of disruption by natural or manmade disasters.
On the basis of Region, the global submarine battery market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. The global submarine battery market is segmented region-wise. North America and Europe are the two key regions of this market, accounting for over 36% share in terms of revenue as well as volume from 2016 to 2021. These markets represent a high-value opportunity with strong growth potential due to their extensive use cases and high penetration rate across different countries such Asia Pacific (APAC) region stand at 25%. China accounts for more than 40% of all batteries produced globally by 2020; APAC will witness a surge in demand owing to increasing urbanization rates on account of its growing importance within the global economy. Middle East & Africa represents an emerging strategic location that has witnessed a significant increase in investments from major players like Toyota Motor Corporation and Honda Automobile Company.
The growth can be attributed to increasing awareness about submarines among civilians as well as naval forces all across the globe which leads to the huge demand for submarine batteries in this sector with advancements in technology leading towards an increased surface area being occupied by submarines on water. An increasing number of underwater missions played a major role in driving up demand for these products thereby fuelling the growth over the next few years.
