• to learn more about this report

The global counter UAV (C-UAV) technologies market size was USD 3778.5 million in 2021. As per our research, the market is projected to touch USD 12410 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 18.0% during the forecast period.

The demand for anti-drone solutions is being driven by the steadily expanding use of drones in numerous applications. The global market expansion is probably going to get a big boost from the rising tide of terrorism. Additionally, the expansion of the worldwide counter UAV market is anticipated to be boosted by the rise in security breaches brought on by unauthorized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Additionally, the worldwide counter UAV market is being driven by the unmanned aerial vehicle industry's rapid deployment as a result of falling prices. To meet the rising need for security, numerous public safety authorities and commercial organizations around the world are rapidly installing anti-drone technologies.

COVID-19 Impact: Imposed Restrictions in the Economy Resulted in Decline in the Market

The COVID-19 outbreak caused temporary business closures as well as supply chain and manufacturing disruptions, which in turn reduced the development of telecom infrastructure and had a negative effect on the sales and marketing efforts of rugged phone companies competing in the market. The effects were severe, particularly for startups and small- to medium-sized businesses operating in this industry. Companies did, however, make a lot of restructuring efforts to address the supply chain difficulties and improve collaboration with suppliers and partners to lessen the negative market impact.

LATEST TRENDS

"Growth of the market in recent years"

The kinetic counter-drone strategies function by destroying a drone. These techniques frequently result in the drone falling to the ground suddenly, making them an ineffective countermeasure to use in crowded areas. Although it might not be the best idea to use it in crowded areas, it might be effective in other situations. Military forces all over the world deploy kinetic counter-UAV technologies to utterly eradicate drones. It employs anti-drone gravity lines or nets, which are typically released using compressed air or an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). These tools aid in the capture, destruction, or neutralization of the drone. Unknown drones have occasionally been dispatched inside military borders to scan the region or monitor the adversaries' movements.

DRIVING FACTORS

"The Utilization as a Catalyst to Boost the Market Growth "

A UAV is a fixed-wing, rotary-wing, or airship platform that can maintain flight along a predetermined path without the help of an on-board pilot. Agriculture, mineral exploration and exploitation, aerial target systems, airborne surveillance for military field operations, and reconnaissance missions are a few examples of the applications of UAV technology. Other uses include environmental monitoring and protection, meteorological surveillance and research, and environmental monitoring and protection. Because they don't need a runway, unmanned small-scale helicopters are ideal for difficult tasks like traffic or volcanic zone surveillance, extensive area mapping, video footage recording, and crop dusting or spraying.

"Extensive Application in Laundering Process to Multiply the Production and Market Growth"

Drones have been used more and more in recent years for aerial photography, search and rescue operations, agricultural work, and monitoring and surveillance. Many countries, such as the US, Brazil, and China, have enacted legislation governing and regulating the use of drones. At numerous locations, including military installations, airports, and jails, unidentified drones have violated security. As a result, there has been a noticeable rise in demand for drone defence systems. It employs anti-drone gravity lines or nets, which are typically released using compressed air or an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). These tools aid in the capture, destruction, or neutralisation of the drone. Unknown drones have occasionally been dispatched inside military borders to scan the region or monitor the adversaries' movements.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"Several Challenges Associated with the Local Irritation to Restrain the Market"

Counter UAV systems with a restricted range can be employed to safeguard modest facilities or when the criteria for identifying drones are not too rigorous. The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) identification capability of the system is limited to close ranges of less than 200 meters. A server, proprietary software, and up to 32 video cameras (four for smaller installations like sports stadiums, up to 32 for larger ones like individual buildings) make up the small anti-drone system. In order to limit false alerts, the program uses specific algorithms to identify drones and determine them apart from birds. Updated small anti-UAV systems can be combined with RF detectors (like Drone Watcher) to detect drone control signals.

"North American Region to Dominate the Market with Extensive Utilization and Multiplying Manufacturers"

The market for counter UAV technology is dominated by North America due to rising defence spending on UAS and CUAV systems. The United States Department of Defence spent over USD 1.5 billion in 2018, according to Unmanned Publications Ltd. The regional market is expanding even faster as a result of extensive investment and research efforts to fight UAS technologies. For instance, the U.S. Army granted Raytheon Company a contract for Ku-band radio frequency radars (KuRFS) in November 2018 for USD 191 million in order to support the operational requirement for counter-unmanned aerial vehicle radar.
