According to our latest research report, the Underwater Connectors market size is estimated at a decent growth in CAGR of 5.4% between the forecast period of 2019 - 2024.
Underwater connectors help to install and connecting the electrical or optical circuits underwater. These connectors help to terminate oil-filled hose or cables, which contains optical fibers or conductors of electricity.
Underwater connectors are being manufactured since the 1950s to facilitate SONAR networks through power cables by interconnecting them. Then with the technological advancements over the years, they have been developed as a thriving market, and there has also been an increase in the acquisition of patents. Underwater connectors are considered as one of the bridges to progress in industries like military and defense, oil and gas, oceanographic, and other industries, as they make it easier to conduct onshore and offshore testing, and manage cable assemblies.
Driving Factors
Major factors that are boosting the economy of underwater connectors are increased number of manufacturing units equipped with high-end technologies, organized network of distribution, and rise in investments in industries like oil and gas, fish farming, and commercial purposes, high performance even under extreme weather conditions, and the increase in demand for energy across the world leading to rise in exploration activities of oil and gas.
Major Restraints
Significant challenges faced by the underwater connectors market are a reduction in the performance of offshore applications due to corrosion of materials, fracture of equipment due to pressure variation in between surfaces resulting in a low life span of the connectors, maintaining continuous power supply and connection while transferring data during severe environmental conditions.
