Anti-Drone System Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Kinetic, Laser), Platform (UAV, Ground), Neutralizing System (Detection System, Anti-Drone Rifle), Application (Commercial, Military) and By Geography

Anti-Drone System Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Kinetic, Laser), Platform (UAV, Ground), Neutralizing System (Detection System, Anti-Drone Rifle), Application (Commercial, Military) and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Anti-Drone System Market is accounted for $7144.06 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $23,905.80 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 22.3% during the forecast period. Anti drone weapons systems use guns or missiles in conjunction with a targeting system to shoot down the drone. New military systems are also under development that will use a high-powered laser or microwave to destroy the target drone. Anti-drone systems aid in detecting and identifying the drones and maintain security.

The total number of consumer drone shipments worldwide was around 5 million units in 2020. The number is expected to increase over the next decade, reaching 9.6 million consumer drone unit shipments globally by 2030. The consumer market for drones comprises recreational drone owners who fly for fun and capture photographs and videos during their flights.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing number of terrorist attacks

Increasing number of terrorist attacks and incidences of invasion of privacy, cross border tensions has compelled governments of various countries to keep missiles and Air Force teams on standby for air defense purposes. Drones with built-in cameras are in high demand, especially among professional photographers seeking high-end technology for aerial film-making and photography.

Restraint:

Growing concerns over public safety

The growing concerns over public safety and the detection efficiency of counter-drones are restraining the growth of the anti-drone system market to some extent. Kinetic counter-drone systems are hazardous, as they employ techniques that interdict the target drone with physical means, which, in turn, causes the target to crash down at a high speed. Even net-based systems, which are armed with a parachute to bring the trapped drone down to the surface in a controlled manner, have proven extremely risky at times. Operations of kinetic systems are, thus, mostly restricted to remote areas and military environments.

Opportunity:

Technological advancement

Increasing support from various federal authorities across the world such as US-FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) for development and adoption of enhanced drone-detection and tracking technologies, as they offer features including Direction Finding (DF), accurate mapping, anti-jamming capabilities provide opportunities for market growth. Major players are focusing on expanding manufacturing units to increase production capacities in order to cater to growing demand for anti-drone systems with new technologies. Manufacturers are focusing on development of innovative and novel technologies that can restrict drones from flying in restricted airspaces.

The military & defense segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Drone detection systems are extensively incorporated by military and defense units from several nations in order to get safeguard national borders from unidentified drone surveillance and attacks. Military & defense end-use vertical rely heavily on anti-drone laser system to target enemy or unidentified drones before their approach.

The ground based segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The majority of anti-drone systems are ground-based. Fixed anti-drone systems have long range and highly accurate drone detection, identification, and tracking capabilities. The majority of the manufacturers offer ground-based fixed or mobile anti-drone solutions to counter the growing threat of illicit and rogue drones.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share owing to the increasing incidence of security contravention by unauthorized drones. Additionally, rise in the number of terrorist and illegal activities, drone detection cases, and close encounters with commercial aircraft is contributing to the market growth. For instance, in October 2018, a Chinese tourist breached the security at the Taj Mahal, India, and took his drone inside the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF)-manned area. Thus, security breach incidents at popular public places, such as historical monuments and airports, continue to encourage countries in the region to test and adopt counter-drone systems for security purposes.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR due to the overall progressive expenditure on defense budget backed by a presence of several anti-drone systems providers expected to help the market in this region to flourish. As the technology is still in its nascent stages, more advanced in anti-drone systems is projected to be incorporated in the developed economies of the U.S. and Canada consistently.

Key players in the market:

Some of the key players profiled in the Anti-Drone System Market include Thales, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Blighter Surveillance Systems, Israel Aerospace Industries, Liteye Systems, Security & Counterintelligence Group LLC, Prime Consulting & Technologies and DroneShield Ltd.

Key developments:

In August 2020: SRC, Inc, obtained Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) of US Air Force department. Under indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity contract, the Air Force purchased the company’s C-sUAS and related components.

In November 2019, Lockheed Martin Corp., launched a laser weapon where the weapon successfully shot down various fixed-wing as well as rotary drones.

In November 2019, Thales Group, launched – EagleSHIELD – novel and innovative integrated drone counter-measure solution which aids in protecting and securing sensitive areas, as well as large-scale events.
