Market Dynamics

Major Drivers & Challenges- 

The growing export demand from smaller economies is a major factor that drives the growth of the global UCAV market. Owing to their superior technology, UCAVs have recently become quite popular and the deployment of autonomous systems is now comparable to the new revolution in combat thanks to advancements in AI technology. Therefore, the growing demand for cutting-edge autonomous technology is pushing small-economy nations to concentrate on new research and UCAV purchases. Hence, such factors drive the market growth during the forecast period.

The rapid development of anti-drone technology is a major challenge hindering the growth of the global UCAV market. Countries across the globe are simultaneously developing anti-drone defense systems and mechanisms, keeping pace with the development of UAVs. Furthermore, drones used by one nation are always a threat to other nations, and in order to have an effective defense system, nations are focusing on the development of anti-drone technology. For instance, Boeing recently tested a 10 kW anti-drone laser cannon that can shoot down drones. The company is planning to enhance the laser power from 10 kW to 60 kW in order to deploy it with the military. Hence, such challenges impede market growth during the forecast period.

Key Trends-

The development of long-range spy combat drones is an emerging trend influencing the global UCAV market growth. UCAVs are increasingly used as a vital tool in countermeasure operations for national security and these unmanned aerial platforms are being incorporated with weapons that support those operations as well as command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems. This is due to the military electronics industry’s rapid technical breakthroughs. For instance, CH-5 is capable of a joint strike like its predecessors, CH-3 and CH-4. This is because they can share the same data link and control system. Hence, such trends fuel the market growth during the forecast period.

 Market Segmentation

This report extensively covers market segmentation by type (medium-altitude ucav and high-altitude UCAV), platform (defense, government, civil, and commercial), and geography (North America, Europe, APAC, Middle East and Africa, and South America).

The market share growth by the medium-altitude UCAV segment will be significant for overall market growth during the forecast period. As a result of the growing need for multi-purpose UAVs, defense authorities focus on the development of medium-altitude UCAVs rather than land-based UAVs, owing to their surveillance and strike capabilities. Furthermore, UCAVs can tackle strategic tasks as stealthy and discreet and have better combat sustainability than manned aircraft. Hence, such factors drive the segment growth during the forecast period.
