UAV Payload and Subsystems Market Analysis
The UAV payload and subsystems market is anticipated to register a CAGR of more than 12% during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative effect on the UAV payload and subsystems market. Due to stringent regulations and lockdowns during the pandemic, there was a reduction in the components needed to manufacture UAV systems. While the COVID-19 pandemic has affected consumer shipments and hampered commercial rollout, it also augmented the usage of drones for public service responses and surveillance by national and local police forces. However, in the post-pandemic scenario, the free flow of goods and services and the opening up of borders are increasing the demand for UAV systems. Significant growth has also been witnessed in the manufacturing of UAV systems by various companies. Moreover, the changing regulatory framework in various countries and a massive upscaling of drone operations are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
The emergence of medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) and high-altitude long-endurance (HALE) UAV systems has been a vital game-changer for technologically superior nations. Unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) are being extensively employed to suppress and destroy enemy air defense, electronic attack, communication transfer, combat, search, rescue and intelligence surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations. The growing integration of weapon systems onboard UAVs is expected to propel the market's growth.
