Global Torpedo Market Overview

The torpedoes are self-propelled and self-guided weapons for anti-warships and anti-submarine warfare. The torpedoes are mainly operated underwater and are developed to detonate on contact or in the vicinity of the target. The torpedoes are generally released from submarines or warships, and sometimes from aircrafts or helicopters also. The submarine or warship released torpedoes which are heavier in weight while the same released from an aircraft or helicopters are lighter in weight. 

The torpedo manufacturers are constantly focusing on the development of hybrid torpedoes which will be impacting positively on the naval forces and air forces across the globe. The hybrid torpedoes are the next generation stealth torpedoes that combine the two main capabilities into one weapon, making it difficult for the enemies to react with counter measures. The primary advantage of these hybrid torpedoes is to expand the range and increase the speed of movement of the torpedo systems. Another advantage is that the hybrid torpedoes or next generation stealth torpedoes remain undetected by the enemy submarines or warships until it reaches close to the contact of detonation, thus limiting the enemy to react to the incoming torpedo and deploying weapons to resist it. 

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on market

The recent coronavirus outbreak has had a drastic impact on defense industries across the globe. Among all regions, the market in Europe has witnessed the highest impact due to the slowdown in the supply chain management of key torpedo manufacturers. Several players have experienced financial crises and have thus decided to postpone the operational activities to minimize the spread of coronavirus. This has significantly delayed the deliveries of the torpedoes. Moreover, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, major carrier transport operations are cancelled. Pandemic affected the worldwide raw material supply in the shipbuilding industry.

Global Torpedo Market Dynamics

Rising Maritime Border Dispute among Neighboring Countries

The key factor driving the market for torpedoes is the increased production of light weight torpedoes which can be carried on an aircraft or on a warship in a large number. These lightweight torpedoes are mainly targeted at submarines and are released from the aircraft near the target. As the torpedoes are released near to the targets, it minimizes the need for precision navigation systems and thus reducing the overall costs. The increased usage of lightweight torpedoes, are likely to aid the growth of the market for torpedoes. Another prominent factor boosting the market for torpedoes is the advancement in underwater warfare technology. Owing to the fact that, presently underwater warfare has increased a lot in comparison to early days, the torpedoes plays a vital role in undersea warfare due to their self-guided and self-propelled characteristics. The advancement in torpedoes helps the naval forces and air forces to eliminate their enemies in their vicinity. The rising initiatives among governments in developing countries and terrorist activities across the world will contribute to the growing adoption of torpedoes across the world. Therefore, to improve the marine border security and marine mission capabilities, the government in the developing countries is focusing on the development of navy ships, submarines, and maritime helicopters armed with torpedoes.

The market for torpedoes has certain restraining factors such as the submarine manufacturers are constantly focusing on development of ballistic missiles protected submarines. This development is hampering the market for torpedoes as these ballistic protected submarines are not affected by the torpedoes. Another inhibiting factor for the torpedo market is the limitations in detecting direction and speed of the torpedoes. The torpedoes are self-guided and self-propelled weapons, so the controlling of these weapons is not possible. Thus, the speed and direction depends totally on the direction of launching. 

Global Torpedo Market Segmentation

The global torpedo market is segmented based on the weight, launch platform, propulsion region. Base on the weight, the global market is segmented into heavyweight torpedoes, and lightweight torpedoes. The heavyweight segment held the largest share in the market in 2019. The adoption of heavyweight torpedoes has risen as it helps to improve the combat mission capabilities of the naval force. The increasing procurement of heavyweight torpedoes in several countries across Asia Pacific will aid market growth.

On the basis of platform launched, the market is segment into Air-Launched, Surface-Launched and Underwater-Launched. The surface launched platform segment dominates the market due to rising procurement of surface naval vessels across the world. The surface naval ship vessels have torpedo tubes to release the torpedo into the ocean. Based on propulsion, the torpedo market is segmented into electric propulsion and conventional propulsion. The electric propulsion segment shows the fastest growth due to rising demand for electric ships. The electric propulsion system along with electric motor and battery, deliver energy to the torpedo to move forward with high speed.

Regional Insights:

 

Disclaimer: This data is only a representation. Actual data may vary and will be available in the report.

According to the region, market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia-Pacific is anticipated to register the highest growth due to the tensions between China, India, Japan, and South Korea. Due to the ongoing tensions in the South China Sea, China is rigorously developing its naval ships and submarines. Similarly, India has also been investing in empowering its naval force. Recently, the Defense Ministry of India approved the acquisition of more than 100 heavyweight torpedoes, which are likely to be equipped on six Scorpene-class submarines. Such immediate requirements for heavyweight torpedoes are expected to be met by purchases from foreign vendors, while the long-term bulk requirements may be fulfilled through the ‘Made in India’ initiative. Development of indigenous torpedoes and their deployment in the respective naval forces may be the supporting factor for the development of the torpedo market in this region.
