by The global Offshore Patrol Vessels Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 15.53 Billion in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.1% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Offshore patrol vessels are used for coastal security, border control, and search and rescue operations. They are usually between 90–150 meters long with speeds between 20–30 knots. They feature advanced command and control systems, navigation systems, communication systems, weapons and sensors. They help in securing coastal borders, monitoring of offshore activities, preventing illegal entry of goods and inspecting suspicious vessels. With increasing threats of piracy, smuggling and cross-border crimes across seas, demand for advanced patrol vessels is on the rise globally for enhancing maritime security.
Market Key Trends:
One of the key trends in the offshore patrol vessels market is the increasing procurement of new generation large OPVs. Countries are investing in new large OPVs which are over 80 meters in length and displace over 1,000 tons. These vessels feature advanced radar, underwater surveillance systems, command & control centers, anti-ship missiles and have greater endurance and range. For instance, countries like India, Vietnam, Philippines, Brazil are procuring large OPVs from shipyards in Europe and Asia. Additionally, drone integration is another trend. Many vessels are being incorporated with unmanned aircraft systems and unmanned surface vessels to extend their surveillance and detection capabilities without crew deployment. This enhances safety of patrol operations.
