Anti-Drone Market by Technology (Laser, Kinetic, And Electronics), Application (Detection And Detection & Disruption), Vertical (Military & Defense, Homeland Security, And Commercial), And Geography - Global Forecast to 2023

The anti-drone market is expected to grow from USD 342.6 Million in 2016 to USD 1,571.3 Million by 2023, at a CAGR of 25.9% between 2017 and 2023. The base year considered is 2016, and the forecast period is between 2017 and 2023.

Increased security breach incidences by unidentified drones to drive the global anti-drone demand close to USD 1.57 billion by 2023

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.

The prime objectives of this report can be summarized in the following points:

• Define, describe, and forecast the global anti-drone market on the basis of technology, application, vertical, and geography

Research Methodology:

The sizing of the anti-drone market has been done by top-down and bottom-up approaches. The bottom-up approach has been employed to arrive at the overall size of the market from the revenues of key players (companies) and their shares in the market. Calculations are made on the basis of the number of anti-drones used in each type of application and vertical, which is further multiplied by the production of various applications for all major countries. Finally, the volume is multiplied by the average selling price of each anti-drone to arrive at the overall market size.

In the top-down approach, the overall market size has been used to estimate the size of the individual markets (mentioned in the market segmentation) through percentage splits from secondary research (including the study of associations, databases, and journals). Major secondary sources include Drone Association for Commercial UAV Operators (UAVUS), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Systems Association. For the calculation of specific market segments, the most appropriate parent market size has been used to implement the top-down approach.

In the process of determining and verifying the market size for several segments and subsegments obtained through secondary research, extensive primary interviews have been conducted with key opinion leaders. The breakup of the profiles of primary participants is given below:

The anti-drone market is expected to grow from USD 342.6 Million in 2016 to USD 1,571.3 Million by 2023, at a CAGR of 25.9% between 2017 and 2023. The market is mainly driven by factors such as increased security breach incidences by unidentified drones and increased terrorism and illicit activities.

The anti-drone market is segmented on the basis of technology into electronics system, laser system, and kinetic system. Among these technologies, the market for the electronics system technology is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2017 and 2023. The major factor responsible for this growth is huge investment by key players in electronics system-based anti-drones across

Anti-drone market segmentation:

The anti-drone market is segmented on the basis of application into detection, and detection and disruption. The detection and disruption application is widely adopted in the market and will grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. Detection and disruption systems have major applications in the military and defense and homeland security sectors, wherein the unauthorized drones entering into the prohibited area of any country are detected as well as disrupted on the spot.

The anti-drone market is segmented on the basis of vertical into military and defense, commercial, and homeland security. The commercial vertical is subsegmented into public venues, critical infrastructure, and households. The military and defense vertical accounted for the largest share of the overall market in 2016. The market for the commercial vertical is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Key factors responsible for this growth include the increasing awareness and rapid development of inexpensive drones in the market, creating more public safety concerns. The market for the homeland security vertical is expected to grow at the second-highest CAGR during the forecast period.

The anti-drone market is broadly classified on the basis of geography into the Americas, Europe, APAC, and RoW. The market in the APAC region is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Major factors contributing to this growth include the development of new technologies in APAC to stop the increasing drone-related crimes and several ongoing developments in the market by the market players in this region.

High initial R&D expenditure and public safety concern are the major restraints for the anti-drone market

The high initial R&D expenditure and public safety concerns of anti-drones inhibit the market growth.

The anti-drone technology is fairly new in the market, and the technologies used to manufacture anti-UAV systems are undergoing rigorous R&D. The market players that are introducing these new technologies are planning to patent them. The cost incurred in R&D is quite high owing to the use of laser and other costly technologies. Medium-sized and small players cannot afford to develop and deploy these systems due to the high initial investment required to develop these systems. Owing to this, the present demand for and supply of anti-UAV systems are limited.

Commercial anti-drones bring with them privacy concern, regulatory issues, and other issues involving drones, such as the skill level of the armature pilots, causing many drone accidents. All over the globe, incidents with small UAVs have revealed a security gap of public safety. However, concerns related to public safety restrain the growth of the anti-drone market. A clash between drones and the anti-UAV defense system can cause damage to the property and lives of civilians. These anti-UAV systems may cause significant civilian casualties.

Furthermore, the development of cost-effective anti-drone systems for commercial use and reduction in risk of collateral damage are major challenges for the market. However, factors such as the development of anti-drone systems for long ranges and micro-UAV detection capabilities, and increased demand for anti-drones for defense applications can generate significant opportunities for this market.

Some key players in the anti-drone market are Thales Group (France), Blighter Surveillance Systems Ltd. (UK), Lockheed Martin Corp. (US), Saab AB (Sweden), Dedrone Inc. (US), Raytheon Co. (US), Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. (Israel), SCG LLC (Switzerland), Droneshield Ltd. (Australia), Theiss UAV Solutions, LLC (US), BSS Holland BV (Netherlands), Prime Consulting & Technologies (Denmark), Advanced Radar Technologies SA (Spain), Department 13 International Ltd. (US), and Northrop Grumman Corp. (US).
