Market Insights

The overall UAV market is majorly driven by the rising expenditure by national governments on the defense sector. UAVs are majorly used for surveillance and monitoring across borders, homeland security and other crucial areas. Over a period of time, UAVs have found immense applications ranging from electronic intelligence, communication, aerial imaging, and others. This is further estimated to significantly drive the overall market growth in the coming years. More than 50companies (including Northrop Grumman Corporation, Boeing Company), universities and government organizations in the U.S. are engaged in the development of over 150 different unmanned aircraft designs. Thus, the UAV market holds immense opportunities and growth potential in the near future.

The overall UAV market is largely driven by increased spending over unmanned systems for the last few years. The U.S., Israel, and China are prime markets for UAV across the world, in terms of expenditure and development. Due to high spending over the defense sector, the two countries have emerged highly lucrative for UAVs. In response to the increasing demand, various companies are striving to provide platforms (UAVs)along with software solutions, sensors, communications, and other subsystems. Nevertheless, the major concern for the market is the high costs of the UAVs, especially the ones designed to operate in the high altitude category. Countries having less defense budget face high initial costs as a major concern for the deployment of high altitude UAVs.

Competitive Insights:

The global UAV market is consolidated in nature with few market players accounting for more than 40% of the total market revenue. The UAV market is highly competitive in nature. The majority of the market players have a focus on offering high-end UAVs that can sustain the harsh environments and can stay aloft for longer flights.
