Hydrographic Survey Sensing Systems Market Outlook – 2027
Hydrographic survey is the process of recording physical features of coastal areas, oceans, rivers, seas and lakes. The equipment which are used to do such surveys are called hydrographic survey equipment. Hydrographic surveys test the depth and analyses the distance from the coast between survey ships. Moreover, hydrographic survey describes the features which affect maritime navigation, dredging, offshore oil exploration, maritime construction, and related activities. Earlier, hydrographic technology was using hardware setup in order to connect with satellites for accessing information. However, at present, hydrographic technology has moved from hardware setup to software such as QINSy (Quality Integrated Navigation System). The main objective of hydrographic surveys is to ensure the safety of maritime navigation.
COVID-19 Scenario analysis:
- Due to COVID-19 situation, the ongoing research & development in hydrographic survey sensing systems has been affected due to the declared lockdowns and government restrictions on public gatherings.
- The business of offshore companies is negatively affected due to COVID-19 restrictions, which will affect directly in the demand of hydrographic survey sensing systems.
- The government all across the globe has closed the boundaries of their countries in order to curb the transmission of virus, which is restricting engineers & other workers to move and hence affecting production of hydrographic survey sensing systems.
- Demand may rise significantly in near future in global hydrographic survey sensing systems market in upcoming quarter as industry’s production has started to get momentum after tough phase of COVID-19.
Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends, Drivers and Impact Analysis
Rise in offshore renewable wind energy projects, increase in maritime commerce & transport, and increase in the use of AUV & ROV are some of the major factors which drive the growth of the global hydrographic survey sensing systems market. However, factors including the high costs associated with carrying out hydrographic surveys and lack of technical expertise in undertaking hydrographic surveys are expected to restrain the growth of the hydrographic survey equipment market. On the contrary, technological advancements in synthetic aperture sonar and rise in offshore oil & gas exploration expenditure are expected to further boost the growth of global hydrographic survey sensing systems market in the future.
Technological advancements in synthetic aperture sonar
Synthetic aperture sonars (SAS) are used as a powerful tool in hydrographic surveys. SAS provides provide high resolution seafloor imagery over the full extent of the swath. Further, the additional technological advancements which con streamline the synthetic aperture sonars workflow, is variable resolution surface creation. Such emerging terrain modelling technique will allow high resolution SAS data & lower resolution multibeam data to be stitched flawlessly together into a single terrain model, which will help in more efficient data transfers. Therefore, such technological advancements will increase efficiency of sensing systems of hydrographic surveys and thereby will contribute in the growth of global hydrographic survey sensing systems market.
