COVID-19 ScenarioAnalysis:

• Global underwater connectors market trend has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. New projects throughout the world have stalled, which, in turn, have led to decline in demand for analog semiconductors.
• Global factories have struggled to integrate new underwater connectors as workers have stayed in their homes, which disrupted the global supply chains.
• The impact of COVID-19 on this market is temporary as just the production and supply chain is stalled. Once the situation improves, production, supply chains, and demand for underwater connectors are gradually going to increase. 
• This COVID-19 lockdown would help companies think about more advanced underwater connectors to enhance efficiency.

Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends, Drivers, and Impact Analysis

The major drivers which lead to the underwater connectors market growth are increasing defense budgets, rise in telecommunications market, increasing oil & gas mining activities and introduction to deep sea mining. But, high customized requirements as per clients, high installation and maintenance costs are factors which may hinder market growth. Contrarily, as many countries are now focusing on underwater mineral reserves for cost benefits, rising investments in deep sea expeditions and sea explorations and others will fuel the market growth further.

New product launches to flourish the market

Key players are focusing on strategic collaborations with well-established players for advanced products in the underwater connectors market. A novel underwater connector called SWIM was launched by Souriau in the year 2018. It had a depth of 300 meters and was designed for the use in marine applications. It was also used in maritime surveillance, oil exploration, commercial diving and weather buoys. Thus, this new product flourished the market.

Surge in usage in oil & gas industry

As there is increase in the demand for energy across the world due to industrialization and urbanization, there is need to fill the gap between the demand and supply. Due to this companies are engaging in oil and gas explorations across various countries. Middle East and North America have increased their offshore oil & gas exploration activities which has led to the increase in the demand for the underwater connectors market, as they improve efficiency of various subsea systems. As underwater connectors help in power and data transmission via electric or fiber optic cables due to high power requirement, they are manufactured in such a way that they can withstand harsh under water environment. Thus, there is surge in the usage of underwater connectors in this industry as it is able to enhance the performance of oil and gas exploration by providing high level connectivity.
