Cable/pipeline route survey application to witness high growth during the forecast period

The global hydrographic survey equipment market, by application, has been segmented into seven subsegments namely, hydrographic survey, seabed feature mapping, port & harbor management, dredge operations, offshore oil & gas survey, cable/pipeline route survey, and charting application. The cable/pipeline route survey subsegment is estimated to register the highest CAGR rate among all applications due to high demand from oil & gas, energy & power as well as telecommunication industries.

 These surveys accurately examine the topography of the seafloor, thereby identifying optimum routes and anchoring zones. The market for cable/pipeline route survey application is the largest in North America and Europe, owing to the developed oil/gas exploration market in these regions.
