Submarines are designed to operate completely submerged in water for long periods. Along with a periscope and torpedoes or missiles, they are equipped with damage-assessment systems; command, control, communications, computer, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems; and target recognition systems. Over time, submarines have become a vital component in a nation's defense force. Currently, a number of companies, such as BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and Thales Group, have invested in submarines; this would significantly propel the growth of the gobal submarine market. The growing demand for unmanned underwater vehicles, increasing expenses on submarines, rapid modernization of submarine fleets, and a surge in the use of nuclear-powered submarines are the key factors driving the growth of the global submarine market. Furthermore, the advent of 3D printing technology and the US Navy's Columbia-class submarine program are expected to create promising growth opportunities for the market players. However, the costs associated with the refit and maintenance of submarines and defense budget constraints are expected to hinder market growth to a certain extent.
