ROVS, AUVS, CAMERAS & LIGHTS OFFSHORE AUV & ROV INDUSTRY TRENDS AND KEY INSIGHTS BY 2024 Press release by: Transparency Market Research
A new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a comprehensive evaluation of the global Offshore AUV & ROV Market. The study, titled “Offshore AUV & ROV Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2016 - 2024”, is available for sale on the firm’s website.
The exploration and production of oil and gas is shifting toward the subsea regions. The subsea environment remains mostly unexplored on earth, which adds to the difficulty experienced when it comes to monitoring and conducting intervention in these regions. It also raises some unique challenges as well as environmental issues. These tough environmental conditions has led to the rapid development of the remotely operated vehicles (ROV) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) technology. AUVs and ROVs are used for the maintenance, repair, and inspection of offshore equipment.
ROVs are an established technology used extensively in the oil & gas industry (up to 3000 m depth) as well as by the scientific and military communities. The ROV technology improves work efficiency and reliability and creates smaller umbilicals and advancements in the launch and recovery systems. AUVs, on the other hand, are speedy and accurate.
AUV is an emerging technology for small production runs. They are unmanned
submersible vehicles, independent of outside facilities or operators, and free- swimming. They have various applications in pipeline inspection, sub-sea inspection, sub-sea survey, cable inspection, sampling, oceanographic, environmental monitoring, iceberg profiling, under-ice surveys, countermeasures, underwater photography, and mine detection. For the oil & gas industry, AUVs are an effective tool for deep water mapping and survey as they exhibit better data quality and cost-effective operations.
The offshore AUV & ROV markets have been segmented by application, payload, propulsion system, product type, and region. Based on application, the market is divided into the oil and gas industry, commercial, defense, scientific research, and others sectors. ROVs are mainly used for various commercial applications, such as offshore drilling, survey and sea bed mapping, pipelining, inspection several, and cabling. The payload-based categories include sensors, synthetic aperture sonar, camera, video screen, lighting system, and others.
In terms of propulsion system, the market has been grouped into mechanical system, electric system, hybrid system, and others. Based on ROV product type, the divisions include high capacity electric vehicle, small vehicle, heavy work-class, and work- class vehicle. Based on AUV product type, they are man portable, lightweight vehicle (LWV), heavyweight vehicle (HWV), and large
vehicle. Finally, in terms of region, the market is distributed over North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Middle East and Africa.
The market for offshore AUV and ROV is majorly driven by factors such as the growing necessity for mapping and ocean data, threats, and maritime security. The increasing global requirement for deep water production is another important aspect, with offshore explorations in Brazil, Nigeria, Indonesia, and the Gulf of Mexico expected to rise during the forecast period. There’s also an escalating number of offshore wells in harsh environments and rising demand for energy and petro chemicals. However, an unstable oil & gas market, price constraints, and technological limitations might hampering this growth.
North America is one of the leaders of the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) & remotely operated vehicle (ROV) market, and is anticipated to witness further growth during the forecast period. The U.S. is a major operator, developer, and exporter of ROV & AUV across the globe. The markets in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Africa are anticipated to expand during the forecast period. With the increasing exploration and production of deep water activities in the subsea region of South Africa, the demand of AUV and ROV for operating at such depths is bound to rise.
GLAMOX LAUNCHES LED REPLACEMENT FOR POPULAR MAX LUMINAIRE
To keep up with the growing demand for LED lighting solutions, Glamox has launched an LED replacement kit for its popular MAX range of T8 fluorescent light fittings. The benefits of upgrading to the new LED version are longer product lifetimes, a reduced carbon footprint, improved energy efficiency and lower maintenance.
For more than 20 years, the MAX range has been one of Glamox’s best selling products for the global marine, onshore and offshore markets.
The LED kit is designed to make the replacement as quick and easy as possible. The kit consists of a new diffuser and a new gear tray with an LED strip, including a new IC driver. The diffuser is made from impact-

resistant polycarbonate and is supplied with holes for safety wires. The clips that are used to attach the diffuser to the housing are also replaced with special, extra robust versions.
MAX LED
MAX LED is a high quality LED luminaire for mounting indoors or outdoors in zone 1 or zone 2 areas. The luminaire is specially designed for long lifetime and reduced maintenance. LEDs are driven by an inrush- free integrated circuit driver. The luminaire has a hinged gear tray for easy access. The housing is made from either Galfan (z) or stainless steel (S), with white stove enamelled epoxy/ polyester powder finish. The Galfan housing is not suitable for marine outdoor installations.
The LED tubes are designed specifically for MAX fixtures. The tubes are supplied with an opal diffuser for consistent light output which
looks similar to fluorescent tubes. The tubes are moulded for zone 1 operation and can be delivered in different colour temperatures.
The emergency version of the MAX LED is supplied with an external battery box to ensure lower temperature of the battery in order to increase the lifetime in warm environments. Emergency light versions are available with 1.5 or 3 hours battery duration.
