Saudi Arabia Anti-Drone System Market Zooming 6X to Surpass USD 273 Million by 2031
Saudi Arabia Anti-Drone System Market is flourishing because of escalating security threats, government’s increasing focus on national security, and a significant surge in Kingdom’s defense spending.

BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated Saudi Arabia Anti-Drone System Market size at USD 44.8 million in 2024. During the forecast period between 2025 and 2031, BlueWeave expects Saudi Arabia Anti-Drone System Market size to expand at a CAGR of 29.5% reaching a value of USD 273.62 million by 2031. The growth of Anti-Drone System Market in Saudi Arabia is propelled by escalating security threats, a rise in drone-related incidents—most notably the 2019 attacks on Abqaiq and Khurais oil facilities—and continuous technological advancements in UAVs. This surge in demand has prompted Saudi Arabia to invest heavily in a comprehensive, modular national counter-drone system, developed in partnership with international entities, featuring radars, command-and-control units, and advanced networking to intercept diverse drone threats in both stationary and mobile deployments. The increasing use of drones across various sectors, coupled with incidents near airports and critical infrastructure, underscores the urgent need for advanced counter-UAV technologies, leading market players to focus on developing high-performance systems capable of simultaneously neutralizing multiple threats.

Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on Saudi Arabia Anti-Drone System Market
