Based on systems, the market is divided into sensors, electronic support measures and armament. The sensors segment accounted for a market share of around 46% and is projected to grow by 2032. The increasing demand for sophisticated sensors in the anti-submarine warfare market is driving growth in the sensors segment. Advanced sensor technologies, such as sonar systems & acoustic arrays, play a crucial role in detecting and tracking submarines effectively.
 

For instance, in October 2023, Lockheed Martin Corp. received orders from U.S. military anti-submarine warfare specialists to manufacture six MH-60R Seahawk anti-submarine warfare helicopters for Norway as part of a recently disclosed USD 364.3 million contract. These versatile MH-60R helicopters boast advanced sensors and are tailored for both anti-submarine & anti-surface warfare operations. As navies worldwide prioritize enhancing their anti-submarine warfare capabilities, there is a growing need for sensors with higher sensitivity, accuracy & processing capabilities.
 

Based on the platform, the anti-submarine warfare systems market is categorized into submarines, surface ships, helicopters, maritime patrol aircraft and unmanned systems. In 2023, the submarines segment will hold around 28% in the overall market. The proliferation of submarines and advancements in submarine technology are driving the submarines segment growth.
 

With an increasing number of submarines including quieter and more stealthy designs, there is a heightened demand for advanced anti-submarine warfare capabilities to detect and track them effectively. This necessitates the development of sophisticated anti-submarine warfare systems and platforms, such as sonar arrays & underwater drones, to counter potential threats posed by submarines and maintain maritime security.
 

North America holds a market share of over 38% in 2023. Naval modernization efforts in North America are a significant driver of the anti-submarine warfare systems market. U.S. companies are investing in the upgrade & expansion of their naval fleets including the procurement of advanced submarines and anti-submarine warfare platforms.
 

This modernization encompasses the integration of state-of-the-art technologies such as advanced sonar systems, Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs), and maritime patrol aircraft equipped with anti-submarine warfare capabilities. This is done to enhance maritime security, maintain naval superiority, and effectively counter evolving undersea threats, thereby fueling the anti-submarine warfare market growth in the country.
