Global Anti-Drone Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

The anti-drone is a comprehensive anti-UAV defense system that detects drones and intercepts drones based on the best anti-UAV technology.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Anti-Drone market finds that the global Anti-Drone market reached a value of USD 1495.45 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 3738.75 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 16.5% during the forecast period.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus in December 2019, the disease has spread to nearly 100 countries around the world, and the World Health Organization has declared it an emergency public health event. The COVID-19 epidemic is infected with many people, and its spread and scope far exceed SARS. At present, the number of confirmed cases in Worldwide has exceeded 20 million. Different industries are affected differently by the epidemic situation.

During the epidemic, drones played a huge role in high-altitude inspections, information promotion, and contactless delivery, and the application scenarios continued to expand and deepen. However, in the absence of industry supervision, the use of civilian drones is still rampant. While drones are playing a role in more and more scenarios, governments of various countries or regions must also strictly manage drones flying into the no-fly field. With the purpose of remedying regulatory loopholes and maintaining social security, anti-drone systems will play a huge role. It can be said that the rapid development of the drone industry has also driven the demand for anti-drone systems.

Since most of the downstream buyers of anti-drone systems are government departments or military enterprises, even during the epidemic, the demand for anti-drone systems will not see a huge drop. Affected by the epidemic, aviation control, manufacturing plant shutdowns, and other factors may cause upstream companies to break their supply chains in a short period of time, which will cause certain losses to manufacturers of anti-drone systems.

The widespread use of drones poses security threats and increases the demand for anti-drones.

Lots of countries’ low-altitude airspace is gradually opening, and the application of drones is becoming more and more widespread, but the uncontrollable risks from drones are gradually increasing. Various drones black flying incidents have caused deep concern in society. In the field of civil aviation, there are occasions when the airport encounters the interference of drones, which causes the flight to alternate and the passenger stranded. Besides, the growth of the civil drone market has resulted in criminal entities increasingly utilizing low-cost drones, to threaten critical national infrastructure, prisons, airports, and other sensitive sites where traditional security measures are easily defeated. These small and extremely agile platforms can be used to deliver contraband, capture intelligence, and potentially deploy explosives without detection. Whether from the perspective of national security or the maintenance of public security and stability, effective measures need to be taken to contain it.

Market Restraints Analysis

Most countries have not yet implemented specific legislation on counter-drone systems. At this stage, the United States has issued Protection of certain facilities and assets from unmanned aircraft. However, it is foreseeable that the use of counter-drone systems, especially civil systems, will have a strict legal system to regulate industry behavior. Because counter-drone systems still have many technical problems, such as how to distinguish between legal drones and illegal drones, and how to minimize the adverse effects of intercepting drones. Improper use will not only not bring convenience and safety, but also cause greater economic losses. Therefore, the continuous improvement of the law may not only bring development opportunities to counter-drone systems, but also may limit its application scenarios.

Region Overview:

From 2022-2027, North America is estimated to witness robust growth prospects.

Company Overview:

Lockheed Martin is one of the major players operating in the Anti-Drone market, holding a share of 19.64% in 2022.

Lockheed Martin

Lockheed Martin Corporation is a global security company that primarily researches, designs, develops, manufactures, and integrates advanced technology products and services. The Company businesses span space, telecommunications, electronics, information and services, aeronautics, energy, and systems integration. Lockheed Martin operates worldwide.

SRC

SRC, Inc., a not-for-profit research and development company, combines information, science, technology, and ingenuity to solve “impossible” problems in the areas of defense, environment, and intelligence. Across their family of companies, they apply bright minds, fresh thinking, and relentless determination to deliver innovative products and services that are redefining possible® for the challenges faced by America and its allies.

Segmentation Overview:

By type, Laser segment accounted for the largest share of market in 2021.
Laser
The laser anti-drone system uses low-altitude search radar to detect and identify illegal intrusion into the drone, and then activates the high-energy laser system to emit high-energy lasers. The laser will melt the shell on the suspicious drone and damage its internal electronic equipment, causing the drone to fall.

Kinetic

Kinetic systems are countermeasures designed to impact a drone in-flight to disable/damage it. There exists a range of options from trained falcons— raptors designed to attack and take down a drone—to anti-drones that can track and collide with a rogue drone; also, ballistic devices such as net guns and shotguns. Firearms and other ballistic systems are the last resort weapons against drones, meaning they are use when all the other countermeasures have failed and the drone has made it to its area of interest. Whether firing buckshot or a net, these systems are a last line of defense.

Electronics

It mainly includes photoelectric countermeasures technology, control information interference technology, and data link interference technology. The anti-drone weapon equipment using these technologies effectively interferes with the drone, so that the drone's automatic control system, communication system, power system, etc. Failure, thereby reducing or even losing its main combat function.

Application Overview:

The market's largest segment by application is the segment Military & Defense, with a market share of 50.78% in 2021.

Military and Defense

In military & defense, the anti-drone system is mainly used for drone protection at borders and secret areas. With the continuous development of drone technology, drones already have the function of small offensive weapons. The security requirements of military bases are much higher than those of other regions, so the construction of anti-drone systems is absolutely necessary.

Commercial

For commercial use, the anti-drone system is usually applied in security, event protection, and airports. In recent years, flight returns, delays, and alternate landings caused by the abuse of drones have occurred from time to time. In major events, drones have become an excellent tool for sneak shots and terrorist activities. Therefore, attacking illegal drones in these scenarios is one of the applications of anti-drone systems.
Homeland Security
For homeland security applications, anti-drone systems are mainly used for domestic security guards rather than military operations.
