The growth of the Unmanned Systems Fiber Reinforced Polymer Market has been primarily driven by the rising need for the lightweight unmanned systems, along with the highly improved performance of the unmanned systems using composite materials. The increased reliability and durability along with major properties such as stiffness and lightweight has increased the use of these materials in the manufacturing of unmanned systems.

The rise in research, procurement, and use of unmanned systems such UAVs, UUVs and UGVs over the past decade has seen significant advances in these systems with respect to the payloads and structure. Due to this, there has been a notified increase in the procurement of composite materials for manufacturing steadier and reliable unmanned systems.

The growing demand for unmanned systems in the commercial sector has led to market opportunities for composite materials across the world. The carbon fibers and carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are the major materials used for the manufacturing for unmanned systems along with some proportion of glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRPs), boron fiber reinforced polymers (BFRPs), and aramid fiber reinforced polymers (AFRPs).
