Unmanned combat aerial vehicle market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 18.2% during the forecast period (2023-2030). The market’s growth is attributed to a rise in the demand for autonomous systems. The advantages of unmanned and autonomous systems have been recognized by the military landscape on a global basis. The ability of UCAVs to operate in hazardous conditions, reduce the risk to human pilots, and complete complex tasks autonomously appeals to defense forces across the globe. Accordingly market players are coming up with new products to cater the demand for drone program. For instance, in March 2023, DARPA’s LongShot air-launched drone program approaching key milestones. The project seeks to create an unmanned aerial system that, when launched from an operated aircraft, is capable of delivering a variety of air-to-air weaponry.
Segmental Outlook
The global unmanned combat aerial vehicle market is segmented on the type, and end-user. Based on the type, the market is sub-segmented into fixed-wing, and rotary-wing. Furthermore, on the basis of end-user, the market is sub-segmented into military forces, government agencies, research and development organizations, and others. The fixed-wing subcategory is expected to capture a significant portion of the market share within the type segment. This is attributed to the growing number of military utilizes for drones, including aerial mapping, forest monitoring, and infrastructure surveys.
The Rotary-wing Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Hold a Considerable Share of the Global Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle Market
Among the type, the rotary-wing sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the global unmanned combat aerial vehicle market. The segmental growth is attributed reconnaissance and surveillance. Rotary wing UAVs have the ability to hover and maneuver in the air, developing individuals advantageous for surveillance and reconnaissance operations. They can provide valuable insights in real-time and allow for better understanding of the situation at hand. These features make them a useful tool for tactical operations. For instance, in December 2021, Launchable rotary wing UAV designs and launched mechanism designs for rotary wing UAV.
Regional Outlook
The global unmanned combat aerial vehicle market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). Among these, North America is anticipated to hold a prominent share of the market across the globe, owing to the growing utilization of drones for military purposes, including aerial mapping, forest monitoring, and infrastructure surveys.
Global Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle Market Growth by Region 2023-2030
The Europe Region is Expected to Grow at a Significant CAGR in the Global Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle Market
Among all regions, the Europe regions is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. Regional growth is attributed to the growing demand for UCAVs. The use of unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) in military operations is becoming increasingly popular owing to their cost-effectiveness and reduced risk to human operators. This has created a high demand for such vehicles among nations globally. According to The Iran Primer, in August 2023, Iran had reportedly supplied more than 1,700 drones to Russia for a variety of purposes, including suicide bombings, surveillance, intelligence gathering, and combat. By early 2023, there were reports that Tehran and Moscow had developed plans to produce approximately 6,000 Iranian models at a new facility in Russia. This timeline details the exports from Iran to Russia, as well as Russia's usage of Iranian drones.
Market Players Outlook
The major companies serving the unmanned combat aerial vehicle market include Boeing Co., China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp., DARPA., Dassault Aviation., Disco Development Pty Ltd, and others., and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in October 2023, the new KVD-002 integrated surveillance unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) that the People's Liberation Army Ground Force (PLAGF) acquired has boosted the modernization of its airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities.
