The global underwater wireless communication (UWC) market size is anticipated to be USD 898 million in 2022 and is projected to touch USD 1,677.4 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period.
Underwater wireless communication is comparatively a new and emerging field in underwater communication technology. It is used in the marine application in quality and pollution monitoring, studying the ocean floors and gathering real-time data.
The installation of high cables has posed many challenges. The rising need for robust technology with limited human intervention has triggered the underwater communication market. The seashore and oil industries are adopting the technology for their commercial benefits. The rise in marine technology will boost underwater wireless communication.
COVID-19 Impact: Economic Disruption Resulted in Short-time Market Decline
The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the UWC market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.
COVID-19 posed a threat to the development of industries and industries suffered a loss in business due to sudden lockdowns and a decrease in market demands. The global priority shifted to supporting the heartcare infrastructure. The economy of the developed nation crashed and many organizations went bankrupt due to a lack of investments, However, as the normalization process has begun and with the increase in the demand for oil and gas and other commercial purposes the market is set to bounce back and recover from the pandemic loss and gain profits in the forecasted years.

DRIVING FACTORS
"Increase in the Deployment of Underwater Vehicle and Improved Communication Infrastructure to Accelerate the Product Sale"
The world leaders and superpowers are investing in underwater wireless communication owing to its ability to provide real-time monitoring, easy collection of data and expansion of the network. In the past decade, there has been a steady increase in the deployment of the underwater vehicle due to the growing demand for natural gas. The latest research shows that the increase in the consumerist demand for energy resources will expedite in the upcoming years. Underwater vehicle is used for mining data, marine research and exploration of new oil fields. It has immense importance in marine application and oceanography.
The 21st century is marked as the era of information as all business operates based on real-time data. Government and private organizations have financed and embraced the adoption of the latest technological developments to improve the communication infrastructure of the country to keep up with globalization. All the nations exhibited their need to strengthen the defence of the country in context to the uncertainties arising due to the geopolitical tension. Underwater vehicle is extensively used in military operation, coastal security, intelligence and surveillance and marine warfare. Moreover, the continuous effort to integrate the latest technology and develop secure underwater communication has propelled the growth of the underwater wireless communication market (UWC) size.
"Rise in Pollution Monitoring to Boost UWC Market Growth"
Ocean pollution is a major concern in the present years. There have been many instances in the past decade showing the harmful effects of underwater pollution caused by the conscious actions of mankind. Oil spilling, ocean mining and disposal of harmful substances are some of the factors contributing to the rising pollution. The latest study shows that the amount of oil spilt has exceeded 4.5 million tons. Not only does it degrade the environment but also affects human health. Underwater noise pollution is a globally recognized threat straining the aquatic ecosystem and depleting underwater resources. The underwater acoustic sensor network aids in pollution monitoring and identification of objects on the ocean floor. The data collected is transferred to the base station and it reports on the condition of the ocean and sends out early warming to prevent future catastrophic events. The rising efforts to maintain the ocean and gather real-time data without human intervention are driving the underwater wireless communication (UWC) market share.
RESTRAINING FACTORS
"High Power Consumption and Limited Speed of Data Transmission to Impede the Market Growth"
Underwater wireless communication is expensive and requires high power to function efficiently. Acoustic communication has limitations and challenges such as its slow nature compared to radio transmission, complications in transmission and delayed delivery rates. Moreover, the limited bandwidth results in the congestion of the acoustic channel. All these factors are restricting the underwater wireless communication (UWC) market growth.
