Asia Pacific Anti-Drone Market

The Asia Pacific anti-drone market is projected to reach USD 3.89 billion by 2030 from USD 1.05 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 30.0% from 2025 to 2030. The market is expanding rapidly due to the increasing number of UAV-related threats at airports, seaports, borders, defense bases, energy facilities, and densely populated urban centers. Increasing incidents of smuggling, surveillance, spying attempts, and unauthorized drone intrusions drive the demand for multi-layered detection, identification, and mitigation systems. Major defense modernization initiatives in India, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Singapore, supported by growing homeland security budgets, accelerate the adoption of anti-drone systems. China’s rapid technological advancements, India’s large-scale border procurements, and Southeast Asia’s increasing need for cost-efficient protective solutions further contribute to the regional market growth. Additionally, evolving regulatory frameworks, expanding trials of non-kinetic neutralization systems, and increasing investment in domestic R&D programs are expected to strengthen market growth.

Major players in the Asia Pacific anti-drone market include Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) (Israel), Rafael Advanced Defense Systems (Israel), DroneShield Ltd (Australia), China Electronic Technology Group Corporation (CETC) (China), Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) (India), Raytheon Technologies (RTX) (US), Lockheed Martin Corporation (US), Thales Group (France), Leonardo S.p.A. (Italy), and Zen Technologies Limited (India). Product launches, collaborations, and acquisitions are key strategies adopted by players to increase their market share, enhance their product portfolios, and expand their presence in the Asia Pacific anti-drone market.

For instance, in April 2025, the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) and Thales established a joint laboratory to develop AI-driven technologies to enhance the Singapore Armed Forces’ counter-drone capabilities. The collaboration focuses on machine-learning software that enhances the performance of radar sensors, enabling faster and more accurate detection of drones, while reducing false alarms and improving situational awareness.

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) (Israel)

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) holds a leading and strategically influential position in the Asia Pacific anti-drone market, supported by its long-standing expertise in air defense systems, electronic warfare (EW), radar surveillance, electro-optics, and multi-layered counter-UAS architectures. The company has advanced its C-UAS portfolio, including EL/M-2084 and EL/M-2090 radars, passive RF-detection suites, high-fidelity EO/IR tracking systems, and AI-enabled threat-classification engines providing accurate detection, identification, targeting, and neutralization of drones across complex operational environments, which often involve dense urban zones, coastal borders, and high-traffic airspace. IAI’s flagship Drone Guard system offers modular fixed, mobile, and expeditionary configurations, making it well-suited for military bases, airports, critical infrastructure, coastal surveillance sectors, high-profile public events, and border-security missions across the region. Strong and expanding partnerships with Asia Pacific defense ministries, homeland security agencies, and regional system integrators, particularly in India, Singapore, South Korea, Australia, the Philippines, and the broader Southeast Asian market. This further strengthens the company’s footprint amid ongoing large-scale modernization programs.

Rafael Advanced Defense Systems (Israel)

Rafael Advanced Defense Systems maintains a commanding and rapidly expanding position in the Asia Pacific anti-drone market, leveraging its strong heritage in air-defense, electronic warfare, cyber-electronic attack, advanced radar/EO systems, and multi-layered counter-UAS architectures. The company’s anti-drone ecosystem, centered around its highly proven Drone Dome system, integrates 3D radars, passive RF sensors, high-resolution EO/IR trackers, AI-enabled automatic target recognition, and powerful directional jamming/laser neutralization modules, enabling precise detection, classification, tracking, and defeat of hostile drones operating in congested, cluttered, or high-threat environments commonly seen across Asia Pacific. Drone Dome’s versatile configuration options (fixed, mobile, vehicular, and tactical deployable units) make it an ideal solution for protecting military installations, airbases, national borders, airports, power plants, seaports, and major public events throughout the region. The company’s growing collaborations with defense ministries and security forces across India, Singapore, the Philippines, South Korea, and several Southeast Asian nations continue to accelerate adoption.

Market Ranking

The Asia Pacific anti-drone market is highly dynamic and increasingly competitive, driven by rising drone-related security threats across borders, military bases, critical infrastructure, airports, and public spaces. Leading players, including Israel Aerospace Industries, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, DroneShield, China Electronic Technology Group Corporation (CETC), and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), are strengthening their presence with advanced multi-sensor detection, electronic warfare capabilities, AI-enabled tracking, counter-swarm technologies, and integrated command and control platforms. The competitive landscape reflects a mix of established defense primes, state-backed technology firms, and emerging AI-surveillance firms, each contributing distinct capabilities across radar fusion, EO/IR sensing, RF analysis, jamming, and hard-kill interception solutions. Growing defense modernization programs in India, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Southeast Asia, combined with increasing procurement initiatives, cross-border security concerns, and large-scale evaluation trials, continue to accelerate competition. As a result, companies are actively enhancing their counter-UAS portfolios through product upgrades, joint development programs, and partnerships with national security agencies.
