What Is The Projected Market Size & Growth Rate Of The Sub-Surface Loitering Torpedo Drone Market?
The market for sub-surface loitering torpedo drones has expanded swiftly in the past few years. Its value is set to increase from $1.19 billion in 2024, escalating to $1.34 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7%. The historic period's expansion is credited to mounting geopolitical conflicts, amplified budget allocations for naval modernization, increasing demand for asymmetric warfare skills, elevation in the adoption of autonomous underwater vehicles and an augmented emphasis on mine countermeasures.

The market for sub-surface loitering torpedo drones is slated for swift expansion in the coming years, with projections putting its worth at $2.15 billion in 2029, growing at a CAGR of 12.5%. This surge within the forecast period is largely due to factors such as the rise in artificial intelligence and machine learning investments, enhanced development of underwater communication systems, increased deployment of seabed warfare solutions, emphasis on multi-domain naval integration, as well as increased procurement by allied countries. Significant trends for this forecast period encompass progress in AI-driven autonomy, the creation of longer-lasting power systems, innovation in modular payload structures, advancements in swarm technologies, and the development of counter-uuv systems.

What Is The Crucial Factor Driving The Global Sub-Surface Loitering Torpedo Drone Market?
Expectations for the sub-surface loitering torpedo drone market's growth are fueled by rising geopolitical tensions within disputed maritime regions. The escalation of these tensions largely stems from competing interests in strategic sea routes and natural resources, with countries seeking to safeguard their trade, energy sources, and territorial influence. Sub-surface loitering torpedo drones serve as a vital part of this security effort, as they autonomously patrol vital waters, monitor potential enemy submarines or surface ships, and stand ready to respond with precision to any threats. This not only boosts deterrence measures and maritime control, but also avoids endangering human lives. As an example, Euronews SA, a French television network, reported in January 2025 that numerous maritime disruptions occurred in the first half of the year, including a significant increase in GPS jamming incidents during the Iran-Israel conflict in June—these incidents impacted over 13,000 ships globally, leading to rerouting and delays. Consequently, the heightened geopolitical tensions in disputed maritime areas are fueling the sub-surface loitering torpedo drone market's growth. The Sub-Surface Loitering Torpedo Drone market's growth trajectory is also being boosted by growing defense budgets, which promise increases in the acquisition and modernization of naval capabilities. Defense budget expansions are a response to rapid technological advancements, prompting nations to invest more in the modernization of weaponry, cybersecurity, and defense systems to retain a strategic advantage. Increased defense budgets further support sub-surface loitering torpedo drones by ensuring provision for their purchase and maintenance, allowing navies to improve on their underwater threat detection and readiness for precision strikes. As an example, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), a non-government entity based in Sweden, noted that global military spending rose to $2,443 billion in 2023, a 6.8% real-term increase from 2022. Therefore, rising defense budgets are propelling the growth of the sub-surface loitering torpedo drone market.
