Subsea Expo Insights Report

The subsea energy supply chain is under growing pressure to deliver critical components faster, more efficiently, and with greater resilience. Against a backdrop of rising costs, regulatory complexity, and aging infrastructure, traditional manufacturing approaches are increasingly being challenged to keep pace.

This Subsea Expo Insights Report captures the outcomes of a closed-door roundtable held during Subsea Expo 2025 in Aberdeen, bringing together 15 senior leaders from across the subsea energy industry. Convened by DEEP Manufacturing, the discussion explored how advances in technologies such as additive manufacturing and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) can help the subsea supply chain move beyond survival mode and toward long-term, sustainable growth.

Inside the report, you’ll find candid insight into the real barriers to adoption from cost perception and confidence to standards and certification, alongside practical perspectives on how scale, speed, and qualified deployment are already reshaping subsea manufacturing. Download the full report to explore the key themes, industry viewpoints, and drivers that will define the future of the subsea supply chain.
