North America Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034
Description
The North America unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market reached USD 11.56 Billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.70% between 2025 and 2034, reaching USD 29.18 Billion by 2034.
North America Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Market Growth
The North America Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) market growth is led by rising defence budgets in the domestic region coupled with many end uses of UAVs.
UAVs in the military and in defence agencies play a huge role, their uses span intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, target acquisition, strike missions, and more. They are also commonly used for monitoring the borders, conflict zone surveillance, and offensive actions. They are fitted with up-to-date technologies like high-resolution cameras and sensors. Moreover, the rising defence budget is a major factor driving demand, with concerns regarding geopolitical tensions.
UAVs have massive use cases in several industries and owing to rising budgets in the military and defence to counter rising international threats and attacks, the industry is likely to show growth. As of October 2023, Amazon announced the use of ‘Prime Air’ drones in 3 US locations to facilitate logistics.
Civil and commercial end uses consist of use in agriculture to monitor crops or detect pests, infrastructure inspection for bridges or power lines, topographic mapping and surveying, aerial cinematography in media and entertainment, public safety in search and rescue missions, delivery and logistics in transportation of goods through airways, and environmental monitoring, including wildlife tracking.
