The North America surface warships market is predicted to record a CAGR of 3.37% during the forecast period, 2022-2030, and is projected to reach a revenue of $9.69 billion by 2030.

The surface warships market growth in North America is attributed to the governments’ efforts to modernize its navy fleet. Also, the ongoing indigenous programs and the upgradation programs of obsolete platforms offer growth opportunities. However, the market growth is restrained by delays in the approval of high-budget contracts.

The North America surface warships market growth analysis includes the assessment of the United States and Canada. In the United States, the Naval fleet had approximately 280 battlecruisers in 2018. It plans on procuring 301 battleships by 2048. The plan encompasses 56 support ships and 245 combat ships. Also, the US Naval forces are set to purchase additional 249 ships between 2025 and 2049 to acquire a fleet of 304 ships, given the increasing geopolitical situations. In addition, the US Navy encompasses a fleet of 21^st-century surface warships that entail a small, focused-mission combatant called Littoral Combat Ship or LCS. LCS is a stealthy, fast warship designed for operations in shallow coastal waters with a modular mission payload facilitating it to take on three naval threats, small swarming boats, mines, and diesel submarines, one at a time. Such factors define the market growth in the United States.

The North America surface warships market scope includes operation, vessel type, and component. The component segment includes hull & equipment, electronics, weapon systems, propulsion/power transmission, and other components.

Hull is the most prominent structural component of a ship. It is the watertight enclosure that protects the accommodation, machinery, and cargo spaces from structural damage, flooding, and weather. The hull’s structural design makes up around 70% of the ship’s overall structural design. Also, it has a crucial function in maintaining course or direction while at sea. Accordingly, significant research & development is required while designing the hull for surface warships which incurs considerable expenses.

With regard to integrated electric propulsion technology, three-phase power is produced by diesel generators and gas turbines. Also, electric transmission is used in integrated electric propulsion technologies. Electric power motors turn the propellers using electricity produced by gas turbines and diesel generators. As a result, gearboxes and clutches are no longer necessary. In addition, the integrated electric propulsion technology helps reduce the overall weight of the navy ships and the noise produced by the marine engines. Therefore, electric propulsion technologies are set to witness increased use by future surface combatants.

Furthermore, manufacturers of warships and similar vessels are incorporating innovative and environmental-friendly components to reduce the environmental and pollution harm in the water. The sustainable components include fiber-reinforced plastic that minimizes the carbon footprints of ships to regulate operations using a greener strategy. All of this is attributed to the growing risks of polluting the ocean’s ecosystem due to increasing conflict-related activities.

Some of the prominent companies in the North America surface warships market include Fincantieri SpA, Huntington Ingalls Industries, General Dynamics, Hyundai Heavy Industries, etc.

Huntington Ingalls Industries builds, maintains, and designs nuclear and non-nuclear ships for the US Navy and Coast Guard, and offers after-market services for military ships worldwide. The company operates through three segments, technical solutions, Newport news shipbuilding, and Ingalls shipbuilding (Ingalls). The Ingalls segment is engaged in building expeditionary warfare and amphibious assault ships. It is headquartered in Newport News, Virginia, the United States.
