The global market for Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) was estimated to be worth US$ 917 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 2158 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 13.1% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
An unmanned surface vessel (USV) is an unmanned surface vessel used to perform dangerous tasks that are not suitable for manned vessels. Once equipped with advanced control systems, sensor systems, communication systems, and weapon systems, it can perform a variety of war and non-war military missions. In 2024, global unmanned surface vessel (USV) production reached approximately 5,371 units, with an average global market price of around 171 k US$ per unit
The deep integration of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things has significantly enhanced USVs' autonomous navigation, environmental perception, decision-making, and execution capabilities. For example, a German company has launched a new modular USV that can be launched from submarine torpedo tubes. USVs, with their high concealment, ability to perform high-risk missions, and relatively low cost, have become a key development priority for navies worldwide. Their value is evident in intelligence gathering, mine countermeasures, reconnaissance, and strike (e.g., equipped with electro-optical sensors, electronic warfare equipment, or roving munitions). For example, the United States plans to establish a fleet of 150 USVs and underwater vehicles by 2045.
