The polar regions are now becoming strategically important. The exploitation of polar resources is becoming the focus of international community’s attention. Polar equipment is the guarantee for humans to scientifically understand and sustainably exploit the polar resources; they primarily include equipment for scientific observation, navigation, and oil and gas exploitation in the polar regions. This study first summarizes the development of polar equipment in various countries, and the development status and problems of the polar equipment in China. Then, it analyzes the development trend and key technologies of polar equipment. China does not possess sufficient polar scientific equipment and its under-ice observation capacity is not strong. China also lacks the capacities for building polar vessels and the research and design capacities for polar resource development equipment. To promote the development of polar equipment by 2035, China should promote the Arctic environment observation, communication, and navigation technologies, make breakthroughs in key technologies regarding polar vessels, and develop key equipment for polar resource exploration, hoping to support the commercial development of the polar summer routes for the second half of the 21st century.
