Quick market snapshot

• Market size (vendor range): analyst estimates vary by scope, but credible vendors put the market in the USD ~25–35 billion (mid-2020s) band with forecasts to ~USD 40–55B by the early-to-mid 2030s (CAGRs typically ~5–10% depending on scope: “maritime security”, “maritime surveillance”, or broader “maritime safety systems”).

Major companies (who to list / watch) — with best available public values or company-level figures

Note: most defence/technology firms do not disclose a standalone “maritime security” revenue line; below I give the company and a recent public figure (company total or segment proxy) and cite the source so you can use these as modelling anchors.

• Lockheed Martin — net sales $71.0B (2024); major supplier of naval sensors, ASW systems, C4ISR.

• Raytheon Technologies / RTX — adjusted net sales ~$80.7B (2024); Raytheon lines supply radars, missiles, naval sensors and command systems.

• BAE Systems — revenue £26.3B (2024); broad naval systems (radar, combat systems, shipbuilding partnerships). 

• Thales Group — sales €20.58B (2024); strong in naval communications, radars, maritime surveillance.

• KONGSBERG Gruppen — record order intake / strong maritime revenues (Kongsberg Maritime is a core division; order intake ~NOK 90B in 2024). Useful proxy for maritime systems exposure.

• Saab AB — sales growth to SEK ~64B (2024); active in sensors, naval systems and ASW.

• Northrop Grumman — sales ~$41.0B (2024); supplier of maritime radars, sensors, unmanned naval systems.

• Elbit Systems — revenue ~$6.8B (2024); provider of ISR, EO/IR, C-UAS and naval electronics.

(Other frequent market players across reports: Indra, Terma, Furuno, Leidos, L3Harris, Thales, Raytheon, Saab, Kongsberg, BAE, Lockheed — see vendor reports for extended lists).

Recent developments

• Maritime drone & unmanned craft incidents (e.g., sea-drone strikes and contested use of unregistered “shadow fleet” vessels) are increasing insurer and government attention to maritime security—raising demand for coastal/sea-domain surveillance and counter-UAS capabilities. 

• Rising naval & coastguard procurement and investment in maritime domain awareness, driven by geopolitical tensions (Europe, Indo-Pacific) and protecting trade chokepoints. Multiple market reports note higher defence/naval spend raising market demand. 

Drivers

• Geopolitical tensions and naval modernization programs (navies & coastguards upgrading ISR/C4ISR). 

• Growth in global trade, port infrastructure and need to protect critical maritime supply chains. 

• Technological advances (unmanned surface & underwater vessels, maritime drones, satellite AIS / space-based surveillance, AI analytics) enabling new product classes and recurring-service revenues.

Restraints

• Long procurement cycles, high integration costs and complex interoperability requirements across sensors/platforms.

• Budget constraints for smaller coastal states and competing priorities (air/land).

• Regulatory/legal complexity for autonomous maritime systems and cross-border surveillance data sharing.

Regional segmentation analysis (high level)

• Asia-Pacific: cited by multiple reports as the largest and fastest-growing region (heavy naval modernisation, maritime disputes, large coastlines and ports).

• North America & Europe: mature buyers with demand for high-end sensors, C-UAS, integrated combat systems and cyber/hardened command systems.

• Middle East & Africa / Latin America: opportunistic growth — ports, offshore energy security and anti-piracy/counter-smuggling needs drive regional procurements.

Emerging trends

• Unmanned systems (USV/UUV) and counter-UAV/C-UAS capabilities are now core parts of maritime security roadmaps.

• Platform + services business models: subscription analytics, persistent ISR using satellites + drones, and system-of-systems integration. 

• Space-enabled maritime domain awareness (satellite AIS, SAR imagery + AI) and tighter integration with coastal surveillance. 

Top use cases

1. Port & critical-infrastructure protection (terminals, oil & gas platforms)

2. Coastal surveillance & EEZ monitoring (fisheries, smuggling, illegal fishing)

3. Anti-piracy and merchant vessel protection / convoy security

4. Search & rescue (SAR) and incident response

5. Counter-UAV / counter-drone and counter-unmanned-surface threats. 

Major challenges

• Integrating legacy naval platforms with modern sensors and cloud/AI analytics.

• Ensuring cyber resilience for maritime networks and supply chains.

• Demonstrating sustainable ROI for recurring service contracts vs one-off hardware sales.

Attractive opportunities

• Maritime ISR as a Service (persistent monitoring via drones + satellites + analytics).

• C-UAS & counter-unmanned systems for ports, naval bases and offshore energy platforms.

• Integration/modernization of legacy fleets (combat systems upgrades, new sensors, networked systems) — attractive for large prime contractors and specialised integrators.

Key factors of market expansion (what will move the needle)

1. Geopolitical pressure & defence budgets (sustained naval/coastguard procurement).

2. Maturation of unmanned maritime tech + C-UAS solutions (reduces unit cost and raises demand).

3. Better data fusion (satellite + AIS + on-platform sensors) + AI analytics (enables high-value recurring services). 

4. Regulatory clarity for autonomous vessels & cross-border ISR data sharing (would accelerate deployments).
