Degaussing System Market

Market Definition:

Global Degaussing System Market size was valued at USD 1.07 billion in 2021 and is predicted to reach USD 1.47 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 3.6% from 2022-2030.

Degaussing system refers to a type of system that helps in reducing unwanted magnetic fields stored in reels, hard drives, diskettes, computers, and cartridge tapes. The magnetic data on a hard disc or tape is either neutralized or erased when exposed to the strong magnetic field of a degausser. This system is widely used by navy of different countries to mask their ship’s magnetic signature, making it difficult to be detected by external magnetic devices. Steel being the basic construction material of warships, causes disturbances in the earth’s magnetic field that can be detected by powerful magnetic sensors. As a countermove, degaussing systems are deployed to reduce or nullify the threat of magnetically activated mines and thus increase ship’s survivability. This system is operated by installing electrical cables that carry measured electric current around the circumference of the ship’s hull. This electric current runs from bow to stern on both sides of the vessel, resulting in the elimination of the ship’s magnetic field.

Market Dynamics and Trends:

The demand for degaussing system is increasing due to its growing significance in naval warfare and increasing adoption by the maritime forces of several countries such as China, the U.S, Russia, and others owing to its demagnetizing properties that defend ships from underwater mines.

Also, factors such as increasing defense spending to modernize the naval fleets along with the use of superconductors that reduce the weight of the vessel and energy consumption of the degaussing equipment are expected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.

However, the high cost of installation and calibration services are factors, expected to restrain the growth of the market during the forecast period. On the other hand, increasing maritime warfare exercises among various countries such as the U.S, India, and Russia as well as the development of the High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) Degaussing System are expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for the degaussing system manufacturers in the future.

Market Segmentations and Scope of the Study:

The degaussing system market has been segmented based on solution, end-use, vessel type, application, and geography. Based on solution, the market is bifurcated into degaussing, ranging, and deperming. The degaussing market is sub-segmented into hardware and software. The hardware segment is further divided into degaussing coil units, degaussing control units, bipolar amplifiers, conductors, compass compensating equipment, DC generators, magnetometers, and course monitor units. The ranging segment is sub-segmented into fixed and onboard. The onboard segment is further classified into transmitted data buoys, coils, aerial ranging devices, software, monitors, and magnetometers. Based on end-user, the market is bifurcated into services, OEM, and aftermarket. Based on vessel type, the market is classified into MCMV, OPV, FAC, submarines, frigates, corvettes, destroyers, aircraft carriers, and amphibious.  On the basis of application, the market is divided into external and shipborne. Geographic breakdown and analysis of each of the aforesaid segments include regions comprising North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and RoW.

Geographical Analysis:

North America holds the lion’s share of degaussing system market and is expected to continue dominating the market throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to factors such as the need to safeguard vessels from enemies, and rising investments in the defense sector. Moreover, technological advancements made by several government and non-government organizations to improve the effectiveness of degaussing systems, particularly in the U.S are further driving the market growth in this region. For instance, in June 2021, the American Society of Military Comptrollers (ASMC) introduced its degaussing system in Special Purpose Ships (SPS), with a 90% lighter degaussing technology than conventional degaussing products, which is designed to defend warships.

However, Asia Pacific is expected to show a steady rise in the degaussing system market due to escalated maritime border tensions between the countries such as India, China, Japan, and the Philippines among others in this region that have led to an increase in their military spending. These countries are also expected to build, develop, and procure new naval vessels that will in turn drive the market growth of degaussing systems in the near future.

Competitive Landscape:

The degaussing system market comprises of various players such as L&T, Polyamp, ECA, Ultra Electronic, Ifen SPA, Dayatech Merin, AMSC, STL System AG, Surma LTD, and American Superconductor Corporation.

These market players are making various agreements and securing big ticket orders to maintain their dominance in the global market.

For instance, in January 2021, American Superconductor Corporation (AMSC) received a $14.94 million contract from the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center to supply equipment and services for a high temperature superconducting (HTS) degaussing system.
