Report Description
The global degaussing systems market size was USD 18.3 Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 26.05 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 4% during 2023–2031. The market growth is characterized by the rising importance of degaussing systems in naval warfare to neutralize advanced adversaries.
Every ship is designed to operate under the influence of the magnetic field of the Earth. It develops a magnetic signature due to magneto-mechanical interaction with the magnetic field of the earth. As the ship navigates through the water, the magnetic field moves with it distorting the effects of the earth’s magnetic field.
Degaussing is a method of reducing and neutralizing magnetic fields with the help of built-in degaussing systems in naval vessels and warships. Degaussing control units reduce a ship’s magnetic footprint by providing calibrated current through degaussing cables to produce a composite magnetic field to thwart the effects of the ship on the earth’s magnetic field. Degaussing systems are an integral part of the naval vessel defense system.
This distortion in the earth’s magnetic field can be detected by magnetic-sensitive ordnance or powerful magnetic sensors integrated into maritime warfare systems to attack ships and vessels. Maritime forces rely on degaussing technology to protect the ships and naval vessels from protection against torpedoes and sea mines by reducing the magnetic field generated by vessels so that they cannot be detected by sensors of the magnetic mines.
Nations with long coastlines are developing maritime warfare systems to establish dominance over the seas for providing protection to the trade routes and offensive actions by the enemy forces. The demand for formidable and efficient naval warfare systems has increased as globalization and industrialization have spurred trade activities and maritime logistics and services globally. Coastguards and navies provide protection to commercial ships passing through international waters with the help of naval combat systems.
The COVID-19 pandemic affected the market, due to the disruptions in raw supply chain activities and reduction in defense spending by some economies around the globe. The reduction in government revenues due to the economic slowdown caused by the lockdown measures impacted the overall defense expenditure.
Degaussing Systems Market Dynamics
Drivers
Rising need for establishing military dominance in international waters to protect the borders and trade routes and the subsequent need for formidable warfare systems is anticipated to drive the market. The major trade routes pass through nations with long coastlines. The navies of such nations rely on warfare systems that are efficient, robust, and versatile. Degaussing solution systems protect the naval vessels against torpedoes and sea mines.
Restraints
The use of composite materials in building non-magnetic warships and the high cost of installation, maintenance, and retrofitting of degaussing systems is expected to hinder the market. The composite materials are used to build non-magnetic warships and vessels. However, the durability and structural integrity of such materials is slightly lower than the conventional steel and iron structures. The economic and technical aspects of the composite materials are questionable.
Opportunities
The rising use of high-temperature superconducting degaussing systems (HTS) is anticipated to create significant opportunities for the market. The HTS cable systems are preferred as they carry five times the current of a conventional degaussing cable system and function at very low temperatures. The HTS cables are preferred due to their high-power transfer capacity and shorter installation times.

Degaussing Systems Market Segment Insights
Based on vessel type, the degaussing systems market is divided into large, medium, and small. The medium segment is expected to expand at a significant growth rate during the projection period owing to the rising adoption of medium-sized vessels for patrolling and security purposes. Maneuverability and utility of medium-sized vessels are high in combing operations. The maritime forces rely on medium-sized vessels for speedy operations and modular design.
On the basis of application, the global market is segregated into shipborne and external. The shipborne segment is projected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period due to the rising need for protecting the ships from torpedoes and sea mines at the sea. The ships are vulnerable to attacks from torpedoes and sea mines. Magnetic-sensitive ordnance or powerful magnetic sensors integrated into maritime warfare systems are likely to detect moving ships at sea thus shipborne degaussing systems are preferred by the maritime forces.
In terms of end-user, the degaussing systems market is segmented into aftermarket, OEM, and services. The OEM segment is expected to register a robust growth rate during the forecast period owing to retrofitting and line fit options for naval vessels provided by the OEM. OEM-fitted degaussing systems are integrated into the ships to provide the optimum function with minimal complexity.
In terms of region, the global degaussing systems market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to dominate the market during the projection period owing to the adoption of advanced technologies in naval warfare systems for countering threats. The U.S. has naval bases all over the world and relies on the latest technologies to establish military dominance in the region.
