Deep Sea Mining Equipment & Technologies Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report, by Type, Services and Equipment Type : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2030

The deep sea mining equipment & technologies market size was valued at $811.9 million in 2020, and is expected to reach $72,814.2 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 61.4% from 2021 to 2030. Deep sea mining is the process of mining of minerals and metals from sea floor at a depth of more than 500 meters. The mining process needs equipment such as crawler, riser systems and others, to carry out this operation. The revenue generated by sales of the equipment minerals such as nickel, cobalt, manganese, zinc and others, are deposited under the sea floors. Extraction of these metals is known as deep sea mining. 

The major driving factor of the deep sea mining equipment & technologies market is discovery of metals & mineral deposit under the seabed. With the growth of electronic components need of metals such as copper, nickel, aluminum, manganese, zinc, lithium and cobalt has increased and due to depleting terrestrial deposits of these metals, new sources are being searched. In addition, increase in deep sea exploration activities to collect data and information to address both current and emerging science and management needs is driving the deep sea mining equipment & technologies market share. However, the process is considerably new and a lot of R&D is yet to take place. In addition, the current equipment can harm the marine life, which will be a big loss of the environment. Thus lack of proper equipment restraints the growth of the deep sea mining equipment & technologies. Furthermore, during the COVID-19 outbreak, construction, manufacturing, and oil & gas industries were majorly affected. Mining activities were also stopped or restricted to a huge extent. Manufacturing and transportation activities along with their supply chains were hampered on a global level. This directly hampered the deep sea mining equipment & technologies market growth. However, the market gained stability in third and fourth quarter of 2020. Moreover, gradually all industries are resuming their regular manufacturing and services. This is further expected to lead to re-initiation of deep sea mining equipment & technologies companies at their full-scale capacities, which is expected to help the market to recover by mid of 2021.

On the contrary, introduction of Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) can extensively find application in deep sea mining equipment & technologies to control or monitor a large number of interconnected smart equipment such as physical devices and sensors from remote locations and will be a major growth opportunity for the deep sea mining equipment & technologies during the forecast period.

The deep sea mining equipment & technologies industry is segmented on the basis of type, service, equipment type and region. On the basis of type, the market is divided into polymetallic nodules, polymetallic sulphides and cobalt-rich crusts. Depending on service, it is classified into exploration and extraction. On the basis of equipment type, the market is divided into seabed mining crawler, riser system and others. By region, it is analyzed across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, the UK, France, Russia and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, South Korea, India, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa).

By type, in 2020, the polymetallic nodules segment dominated the deep sea mining equipment & technologies market, in terms of revenue, and cobalt-rich crusts segment is expected to witness growth at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. On the basis of service, the exploration segment led the market in 2020, in terms of revenue, and extraction segment is anticipated to register highest CAGR during the forecast period. On the basis of equipment type, the seabed mining crawler segment led the market in 2020, in terms of revenue, and riser system segment is anticipated to register highest CAGR during the forecast period. By region, Asia-Pacific led the market in 2020, in terms of revenue, and North America is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Analyst Review

The deep sea mining equipment & technologies market is mainly driven by increase in deep sea exploration activities to study and collect data and information about the seabed and underwater things. In addition, discovery of metals & mineral deposit has led to increase in interest for deep sea mining projects by several countries. The deep sea mining equipment & technologies market was valued at $811.9 million in 2020, and is expected to reach $72,814.2 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 61.4% from 2021 to 2030.

However, lack of technology for mining process and the harm done to the marine life owing to mining acts as a major restraint to the market. On the contrary, adoption of new Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) can effectively help in data collection, exploration and control the equipment and will act as a major opportunity for the deep sea mining equipment & technologies market during the forecast period.

Major companies in the market have adopted strategies such as product launch, product development, acquisition and collaboration, to offer better products and services to customers in the deep sea mining equipment & technologies market.
