The report "Europe Anti-Drone Market by Electronic Systems, Kinetic Systems, Laser Systems, Hybrid Systems, Ground-based, Handheld, UAV-based, Detection, Detection & Disruption, Military & Defense, Commercial, and Homeland Security - Forecast to 2030" is expected to grow from USD 1.24 billion in 2025 to USD 4.16 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 27.5% from 2025 to 2030.The European anti-drone market is growing at a substantial rate due to various UAV-based threats faced by regional governments, border security forces, aviation authorities, and country defense ministries. Rising cases of drone breaches, especially around major commercial airports and strategic installations, are thus emphasizing the need for robust detection and neutralization solutions. Supportive regulatory initiatives by regional aviation oversight bodies, such as EASA, along with security forces of individual nations, are thus propelling regional forces to adapt to counter-UAS technology procurements, especially within NATO member states. Advances in sensor fusion technology, AI-based threat categorization, passive RF analysis, and multi-sensor radar technology are significantly transforming the adoption of anti-drone technology in various regional and international defense modernization initiatives.

Significant opportunities are emerging as European security forces prioritize interoperable, multi-domain counter-UAS systems capable of addressing evolving drone threats in both civilian and military environments. The market is witnessing strong traction for electronic warfare systems, directed-energy solutions, RF jamming platforms, multilayer sensing networks, and kinetic effectors that are compatible with NATO’s joint operational frameworks. Critical sectors, including airports, maritime ports, nuclear power plants, stadiums, and public safety agencies, represent major investment hotspots as EU countries scale up their integrated detection and response capabilities. Demand is also strengthening for mobile and vehicle-mounted counter-UAS systems to support border protection and rapid-response operations. Furthermore, Europe is moving toward modular, AI-driven, and standards-based anti-drone architectures designed to ensure seamless interoperability across member states, supporting both national defense missions and continent-wide airspace protection objectives.
The Military & Defense segment is expected to hold the highest market share in 2025.
The military and defense market is projected to lead the European anti-drone market in 2025, driven by high security requirements in NATO member nations and the rising level of geopolitical tensions. The European forces require advanced and compatible counter-UAS solutions that can operate effectively in complex and contested scenarios. Additionally, the need for multi-layered situational surveillance in the forward operating bases, border areas, ammunition depots, and military airfields further drives the market. The major procurement triggers in Western and Northern European countries and accelerated investments in electronic warfare and integrated air defense. Consequently, the military and defense market is the principal growth driver of the high-performance counter-UAS presence in the region.
The Laser Systems segment is projected to expand with the fastest CAGR from 2025 to 2030.
Laser Systems are projected to exhibit the steepest CAGR in Europe from 2025 to 2030, owing to the escalating interest of defense authorities and homeland security organizations in accessing direct-energy technology to effectively neutralize UAVs. R&D expenditures geared toward the development of high-energy lasers by European nations, especially Germany, France, the UK, and Israeli entities, along with EU collaboration mechanisms, are tightly pushing the development of high-energy laser (HEL) technology to disable single UAVs as well as swarm attacks. Laser technology is perceived to offer multiple advantages, especially low-cost engagement, stealth operability, high engagement rates, and suitable effectiveness in urban environments. Furthermore, increased investment by industry participants in the development of laser-related intercept technology and its integration with mobile air-defense solution platforms, aligned with the development of Europe's overall anti-UAV capability, is set to propel the growth of the laser systems market.
The UAV-based platform type is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The UAV-based platform type is likely to achieve the highest CAGR in Europe, as defense, security, and law enforcement organizations are increasingly turning to mobile and swiftly deployable anti-UAS solutions to complement ground-based systems. Airborne anti-drone solution adoption is a high priority among European organizations due to these systems' capability for large-scale area-aware and responsive threat engagement and interference. These systems are effective at detecting and neutralizing hostile drones in complex airspaces, population-dense zones, and infrastructure that requires low-footprint and responsive anti-UAS protection. Increasing investments in aerial surveillance asset deployments and cross-border protection projects, as well as support for NATO’s quick reaction teams, further fuel this trend. Thus, UAV-based anti-UAS systems are poised to be a major facilitator for Europe’s evolving multi-layered air protection strategy.
