Description
Military Drone Market by Type (Fixed Wing, Hybrid, Rotary Wing), MTOW (150-1,200 Kg, <150 Kg, >1,200 Kg), Propulsion, Operation Mode, Speed, Launching Mode, Platform, Application - Global Forecast 2024-2030
The Military Drone Market size was estimated at USD 18.87 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 21.93 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 16.74% to reach USD 55.78 billion by 2030.
Military drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) conduct defense missions of intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance, and combat while being remotely controlled by drone pilots. These drones have long-range flights, improved endurance, and higher flight altitudes than conventional drones. Military drones are equipped with a more powerful engine, camera gear, and targeting system, which makes them an ideal choice for border patrolling across land and marine environments. Over the years, governments have significantly invested in deploying drones for surveillance and conducting R&D to develop advanced UAV versions. However, the non-availability of sustainable fuel to power drones and their immense safety issues have been major factors affecting the market development. With the emergence of advanced versions of UAVs focused on AI, ML, and big data and the improved capabilities of cargo delivery, the adoption of drones is set to rise across the military sector. Autonomous flights, highly-detailed 3D mapping, geotagging, and thermal detection are also the main focus areas of drone developers for improving aerial monitoring and data gathering of military drones.
Regional Insights
The military drone market is highly evolving across the Americas and EMEA region owing to the rising need for advanced surveillance systems in military operations and increasing government expenditure for strengthening the defense sector. As per the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), U.S. military spending amounted to USD 801 billion in 2021 and contributed 3.5% to the GDP of 2021. The ongoing research and development (R&D) activities by BAE Systems plc, Elbit Systems Ltd., Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd., Saab Group, and Thales Group, among others, have improved the availability and deployment of military drones in the EMEA region. The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war further increased the usage of various types of drones for communication, navigation, and surveillance due to rising geopolitical tensions. In addition, the major investments by the Asian economies, including China, India, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Australia, towards border security and surveillance have significantly increased the demand for military drones in past years.
