Unmanned Systems Market Analysis
The Unmanned Systems Market size is estimated at USD 22.07 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 41.26 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 13.33% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Increasing global defense expenditures, a focus on strengthening defense forces, and the growing use of unmanned systems for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and combat missions drive the market's growth. Defense forces are highly invested in developing and procuring unmanned systems over manned systems as they reduce the risks of soldier casualties and enhance accuracy during combat operations.
The growing use of unmanned systems in the commercial sectors, such as unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) in firefighting and agriculture, unmanned sea vehicles (USVs) for underwater sea exploration and marine research, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for disaster relief, recreational uses, and photo and videography, will boost the market growth.
However, the lack of regulations and restrictions on flying drones beyond the visual line of sight in several countries worldwide has restrained the market's growth. Other factors, such as safety and security concerns and the scarcity of trained pilots, are also anticipated to challenge the market's growth to a certain extent.
