International. With an expected increase of US$900 million in 2022 to US$3.8 billion forecast in 2027, the global anti-drone market will grow at a CAGR of 27.7% between 2022 and 2027.
The anti-drone market is projected to grow from USD 0.9 billion in 2022 to USD 3.8 billion by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 27.7% between 2022 and 2027, according to a new report from MarketsandMarkets™. Key factors driving the growth of this market include increasing incidence of security breaches, increasing use of drones to combat terrorism and prevent illicit activities, and increased adoption of drones for remote sensing.
The National Security Vertical
National security comprises local law enforcement agencies that use anti-drone systems to protect government offices, prisons, airports, train stations, and courts. There are no defined laws for the invasion of private property by drones, which has made it unclear whether to fly a drone over private property. These indefinite laws give rise to complaints such as drones that cause nuisance and fly recklessly.
Lawmakers, advocates, and citizens grapple with the issue of privacy and security while balancing the potential benefits of commercial or private uses of UAVs. A few basic drone detection products can help address these concerns, thus providing the range of anti-drone systems for private use. Electronic systems such as radars, RF detectors, EO/IR cameras, RF blockers, and GNSS blockers are expected to drive the anti-drone market for national security.
Laser systems
Laser weapons are increasingly used to destroy or burn unmanned aerial vehicles. The effectiveness of the laser system depends on the construction, material and scope of the target. Companies are trying to develop technologically advanced laser-based anti-drone to increase the targeting capability of anti-drone systems. Lockheed Martin Corporation (USA), Rheinmetall AG (Germany) and Raytheon Technologies Corporation (USA) have been developing laser-based anti-drone systems.
The anti-drone market will have a large share in the Americas in 2021
The Americas is the largest shareholder in terms of the number of anti-drone systems deployed in the military and defense, commercial infrastructure, and national security verticals. In the Americas, military and defense is the main vertical in which anti-drone systems are used, which drives its growth in the region. Some well-established actors in this region are conducting extensive R&D related to anti-drone systems. In addition, favorable economic conditions and increased security concerns are encouraging the commercial and industrial sectors to deploy anti-drone systems.
