The global hydrographic survey equipment market size reached US$ 2.9 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 4.1 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% during 2022-2028. Increasing need for accurate and up-to-date marine charts and maps, the growing emphasis on offshore exploration and production activities, and rising investments in infrastructure development represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Hydrographic survey equipment is used for mapping and measuring the physical features of water bodies, such as oceans, rivers, and lakes. It is essential for various industries, including offshore oil and gas exploration, navigation, and environmental monitoring. The equipment typically includes sonar, global positioning systems (GPS), and other sensors that allow for accurate measurements of the water depth, current speed, and underwater features. The hydrographic survey equipment comprises a survey vessel, echo sounder, sonar system, GPS, and a data acquisition system as standard components. The survey vessel is equipped with the latest technology to ensure the accuracy of the equipment. The echo sounder emits a sound pulse that bounces off the seabed and returns to the sensor. The time it takes for the sound to travel is used to calculate the depth of the water. The advantages of hydrographic survey equipment are numerous, such as providing detailed information about the water depth, underwater features, and currents which is essential for safe navigation. It also helps identify and mitigate potential hazards to offshore infrastructure, such as oil rigs and pipelines. In addition to this, hydrographic survey equipment plays a critical role in environmental monitoring by providing data on water quality and the health of aquatic ecosystems. In comparison to other survey methods, hydrographic survey equipment offers more detailed and accurate data. It also enables surveyors to work in real-time and quickly identify potential hazards or issues. Currently, there are different types of product variants in the market, including single-beam echo sounders, multibeam echo sounders, side-scan sonar, and sub-bottom profilers.
