Coastal Surveillance Market – By Type , By System Type , By Component , By Application , By End User and By Geography - Opportunity Analysis & Industry Forecast, 2025-2031
Coastal Surveillance Market Overview:
The Coastal Surveillance Market size is estimated to reach $49.8 Billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period 2025-2031. Coastal surveillance is increasingly essential in light of growing naval threats and escalating geopolitical tensions which necessitate more stringent security measures. Substantial investments in cutting-edge coastal surveillance technologies such as including UAVs, AIS and such are significantly enhancing threat detection and prevention capabilities. Additionally, heightened coastal law enforcement initiatives are reinforcing the safeguarding of maritime borders, thus fueling the demand for advanced coastal surveillance solutions.
A major trend in the market is the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs). These systems offer extensive coverage and real-time threat response and as a result the use of these systems is rising. For instance, in February 2025, the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) deployed maritime security unmanned surface vessels (MARSEC USVs) to enhance the security of Singapore’s waters. Another trend in the market is Advanced Sensor Technology such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR), electro-optical/infrared cameras and automated identification systems (AIS). For instance, SAR systems can capture high-resolution images of the coastline and maritime environment, even in poor weather conditions they can detect small objects and track their movements over time.

Key Takeaways:
North America Leads the Market
North America occupied the largest share in the market in 2024 driven by robust investments in advanced security systems and stringent regulatory frameworks. The United States and Canada have extensive coastlines and strategic maritime interests and therefore prioritize coastal security to safeguard economic and national security assets. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Geodetic Survey there is approximately 95,000 miles of U.S coastline. Government agencies and defense organizations in the region adopt sophisticated surveillance technologies ranging from radar systems to unmanned aerial vehicles for real-time monitoring and rapid response. In July 2024, California drone developer Shield A received a $198.1-million contract to deliver its V-BAT unmanned aerial system (UAS) to the US Coast Guard. The deal supports the service’s goal of employing an autonomous craft from its existing cutters for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. Work for the contract will run through 2029. Additionally, the region’s proactive approach to counter-terrorism, illegal fishing, and smuggling further reinforces the need for state-of-the-art coastal monitoring.
Radar is the Largest Segment
Radar is the largest segment in the Coastal Surveillance market due to their proven reliability and broad application range. These systems offer long-range detection capabilities that enables continuous monitoring of vessel movements, weather patterns and potential security threats along coastlines. Radar technology is essential for early warning systems and facilitates rapid response to maritime emergencies and illegal activities. Continuous advancements in radar resolution and data processing further enhances accuracy, leading to higher adoption rates across ports, coastal areas and maritime boundaries. In February 2025, Swedish defence company Saab introduced its new Coast Control Radar designed to enhance maritime surveillance and security. With a compact and modular design, the radar provides high-performance tracking capabilities, including the detection of small and fast-moving vessels in challenging coastal environments.
Maritime Security is the Largest Segment
Maritime security holds the largest market share in terms of application. It encompasses a wide range of activities such as monitoring vessel movements, preventing smuggling and countering piracy. As global trade relies heavily on secure and efficient sea lanes, governments and industry stakeholders invest significantly in technologies that ensure the safety of maritime operations. Surveillance systems like radar, cameras and automatic identification systems (AIS), are deployed to detect and track unauthorized activities. According to official data, the U.S Coast Guard made notable progress in removing cocaine from the maritime environment with over 96 metric tons removed in Fiscal Year 2023. Advanced monitoring capabilities facilitate quick decision-making and effective resource allocation during emergencies to reduce the risk of disruptions in commerce and security breaches.
Rising Naval Threats Drives the Market
Rising naval threats such as piracy, smuggling and potential military incursions are boosting the coastal surveillance market. With increasing geopolitical tensions and regional conflicts governments are focused on maritime situational awareness to protect national interests. In February 2025, South Korea launched a new naval command, aimed at expanding the nation’s maritime defense capabilities against North Korean missile threats and to protect its sea lanes. Countries are deploying advanced surveillance systems such as radar, unmanned aerial vehicles and satellite tracking to monitor suspicious activities along vulnerable coastlines. Additionally, heightened global trade and energy security concerns intensify the demand for comprehensive monitoring solutions. As threats evolve and become more sophisticated, the investment in next-generation surveillance technologies is rising. For instance, the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) is set to bolster its operational capacities through an approx. $144 million allocation under Budget 2025. This funding, aimed at advancing maritime security and enforcement, highlights Malaysia’s ongoing commitment to strengthening its coastal and territorial waters against emerging challenges.
