Increased security breach incidences by unidentified drones to drive the global anti-drone

The global anti-drone market size is projected to reach 1.57 billion by 2023 largely due to the increased security breach incidences by unidentified drones. As the use of drones proliferates, there has been an increase in the number of security breaches by unidentified drones at the critical infrastructure and public places. This has spurred the demand for countermeasures. The potential culprits include hobbyists, antinuclear groups, business competitors, terrorist organizations, and nation states. Today, the popularity and the easy availability of drones have made them easily available to anyone and everyone. They are being used by commercial organizations for the purpose of express parcel delivery, as well as military groups for attacking the terrorist suspects. In the past few years, there has been a rapid growth in the use of all types of UAVs. This has resulted in abundant security concerns for critical infrastructure and public places, which in turn is pushing the demand for anti-drone systems.

ANTI-DRONE MARKET, BY REGION, 2023 (USD MILLION)

Leading anti-drone manufacturers are developing innovative solutions to be used in different verticals of anti-drone to drive the industry forward

Military and Defense

UAVs or drones have become an integral part of the military and defense operations. Developed countries such as the US and the UK have armed drones in possession, which are used to carry out airstrikes during the war. Presently, countries are also giving importance to strengthening the counter-drone measures to monitor terrorist activities, which would boost the demand for anti-drone systems in the near future. In December 2015, the US Army defense contractor Northrop Grumman Corp. (US) and the US Army demonstrated a product by Northrop Grumman that has an ability to identify and track small drones and provide accurate targeting data while on the move. These types of products can help the countries around the globe to make their military and defense system stronger, which would widen the scope of the anti-drone market.

Commercial

UAVs have been invading many commercial areas, such as public venues, critical infrastructure, and private property, and can be a threat to the security and public safety. This section deals with the scope of anti-drone systems in the commercial segment-public venues, critical infrastructure, and households.

• Public Venues

Drones or UAVs have been observed even at public places such as commercial complex, shopping complex, malls, and amusement parks. It can cause a serious concern if these drones are not authorized and can prove to be a threat to people gathered at such venues. Many of the manufacturers are focusing on the security of public venues and have deployed several of their anti-drone systems at such venues. For instance, 10 anti-drone systems were deployed by DroneShield Ltd. (Australia) at the Boston Marathon 2015 to provide security from drone attacks along the route.

• Critical Infrastructure

UAVs can be a threat to critical infrastructure, such as airports; stadiums; prisons; trade centres; banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) centres; R&D centres, and manufacturing facilities. The demand is expected to be prominent from such critical infrastructure in the future, where anti-drone systems are installed for detection and disruption to prevent the unethical use of drones.

• Households

Privacy concern is the major issue faced by households. Electronic anti-drone systems have been developed to address such issues, which will warn owners by sending them an alert message about the suspected drone entering the property.

Homeland Security

Homeland security comprises local police bodies that can use anti-drone systems to protect government offices, prisons, airports, railway stations, and courts, among others. The UAV market is becoming well established. The technology has been used in many applications, such as delivery of goods and random image capturing. In the US, there are no defined laws for private property invasion by drones. These undefined laws are giving space to complaints such as drones causing nuisance and being flown recklessly. Lawmakers, advocates, and citizens grapple with the issue of privacy and safety while balancing the potential benefits from commercial or private uses of the UAV technology. Some basic drone detection products can help to resolve such concerns. This provides a good scope for anti-drone systems for private use.

Critical questions the report answers:

• Most of the suppliers have opted product innovation and expansions as the key strategies as could be seen from the recent developments. Where will it take the industry in the mid to long term?
• Will the study help understand competitors and provide insights to improve positions in the business?
