Subsea Control Systems - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2023 - 2028)

Subsea Control Systems Market Analysis

The Subsea Control Systems Market is projected to register a CAGR of over 2% during the forecast period.

COVID-19 negatively impacted the market in 2020. Presently the market has now reached pre-pandemic levels.

• Factors such as deep-water and ultra-deep-water exploration and production are likely to drive the subsea control systems market in the forecast period.
• On the flip side, harsh environmental conditions will make installing, maintaining, and replacing the subsea control systems difficult. This, in turn, is expected to restrain the market during the forecast period.
• Increasing deep-water activities in countries like Brazil, Egypt, the United States, Iran, and Qatar, is likely to create several opportunities for the subsea control systems market in the forecast period.
• South America has dominated the subsea control systems market, and most of the demand comes from Brazil due to its recent deep-water and ultra-deep-water activities. It is likely to dominate the market in the forecast period.

Subsea Control Systems Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Subsea Control Systems Market according to our research experts:

Deep-water and Ultra Deep-water Likely to Dominate the Market

• The deep-water and ultra-deep-water activities directly influence the subsea control systems market offshore. After oil prices fell in 2014, many countries shifted toward onshore projects. Still, the return on the investment period of onshore projects is 10-15 years. Thus, the nations like Brazil, the United States, and Egypt started deep-water and ultra-deep-water explorations, which have a return period of 5-6 years, are more profitable, and are likely to drive the Subsea Control Systems Market in the forecast period.
• In July 2021, Reliance Industries Limited and BP PLC started production from the R Cluster, an ultra-deep-water gas field in Block KG D6. Both companies have further planned to develop two more deep-water gas projects, which are expected to meet ~15% of India’s gas demand by 2023.
• In April 2022, Saipem won a contract with the Italian oil and gas company Eni for the drilling campaign to be conducted using the ultra-deep-water drillship Saipem 12000 in west Africa.
• Between August 2016 to August 2022, the offshore drilling rig is 228 and 222, respectively. After 2016, the offshore rig count of the world increased significantly, primarily in 2019, i.e., 257, and is likely to impact subsea control systems as they are used offshore positively.
• As of 2021, the offshore oil and gas industry accounts for about 30% of global crude oil production. The major offshore oil and gas-producing regions are the Middle East, the North Sea, Brazil, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caspian Sea. In addition, the availability of abundant resources, coupled with the increased potential to recover oil and gas from deepwater and ultra-deepwater areas, is expected to provide an excellent opportunity for the market studied.
• In January 2022, the Egyptian government awarded eight of the twenty-four blocks. Eni Spa received exploration licenses to five blocks, and the other bid winners were BP plc, Apex International Energy Management LLC, and United Energy Corp.
• Therefore, with the increase in deep-water and ultra-deep-water exploration and production activities, the subsea control systems will likely witness significant demand during the forecast period.
