Anti-Drone Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type, By Application, By Region Forecast to 2028

Anti-Drone Market Trends, Outlook - 2028

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the global Anti-Drone market size is estimated to be worth USD 1323.8 million in 2022 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 5098.4 million by 2028 with a CAGR of 25.2% during the review period.

Major Trends in Anti-Drone Market

Key drivers of the anti-drone market include the growing need for anti-drone systems to counter security breaches by unauthorized drones.  The rising cases of drone terrorism and illicit activities across the world will fuel the growth of the anti-drone market during the forecast period. The need for scalable, versatile system development for increasing defense capabilities will drive the growth of the market in the upcoming years.

Trends Influencing the Anti-Drone Market

Need for countering UAV violation

Unwanted drones can inflict some serious damage to security and privacy. In addition to it drones are being used exceedingly to smuggle illegal items like drugs, contraband, etc, Several measures have been deployed to track and stop the activities of unauthorized drones. Audio detection systems can monitor the specific frequencies emitted by the drones and track their location from 500 feet away. RFID chips keep devices from overtaking these drones. Furthermore, jammers cut the frequency used by a drone and its operator to emit information by blasting electromagnetic noises. Then there are geofencing, thermal detection, and radar detection. All these technologies are capable of disrupting the network signals of illegal drones. Such rapid developments will propel the growth of the anti-drone market during the forecast period.    

The rise in UAV terrorism

UAVs have the capability to carry out extensive aerial and terror attacks thereby compromising the status of homeland security. These illicit attacks will turn more lethal moving forward as the swarming capacity, range, and larger payloads increase the chances of dispersing nuclear, chemical, biological, and radiological weapons. Hence there is an urgent need for detection, identification, location, tracking, and proper alerting. Such factors will surge the growth of the anti-drone market in the coming years. 

Increasing use of drones for protecting military facilities

Counter Drone systems are being deployed for securing military bases and other critical facilities. Moreover, there is also a need for securing commercial airports, prisons, etc. Optical sensors are being fitted to defeat various small UAVs on a single flight without any chances of collateral damage. The electronic network takes data from the sensor feed and assigns the appropriate drone to the target. Once it inches closer to the threat the onboard processing and AI-powered mechanism lock the target in and continues on its path until final interception. All of this takes place without the need for any human intervention. These counter-drone approaches will drive the growth of the anti-drone market in the subsequent years. 

High costs

There are public safety concerns as drones can land anywhere in people’s private spaces, lawns, and other sensitive areas. Moreover, there is a lack of proper rules and regulations for monitoring the counter-drone systems. Additionally, there are testing and marketing issues. For example, jammers cannot be installed near airports as radiofrequency jamming can create problems for commercial flights and aircraft. There are significant expenses that go into the R&D initiatives and technology becomes obsolete quickly as drones become efficient rapidly. This in turn will hamper the growth of the anti-drone market during the forthcoming years.

Anti-Drone Market Size and Share

Based on application, the detection and disruption segment will maintain the lead in the anti-drone market share due to the increasing need for countering, detecting, and disrupting the drones on the spot. It is used widely in the military, defense, and homeland security purposes. 

Based on Type, the military and defense segment will witness significant growth in the anti-drone market share owing to the urgent need for developing versatile anti-drone systems for countering UAV-based terrorism, smuggling, spying, and border protection. 

Based on region, North America will grow the highest in the anti-drone market share due to rising cases of security breaches, terrorist attacks, and privacy concerns.
