Global Autonomous Aircraft Market Forecasts, 2019-2030 with Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Elbit Systems Dominating

DUBLIN, March 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Autonomous Aircraft Market by Technology (Increasingly Autonomous, and Fully Autonomous), End Use (Commercial, Combat & ISR, Cargo, Passenger Air Vehicle, Personal Air Vehicle, Air Medical Services), Component, and Region - Global Forecast 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The autonomous aircraft market is projected to grow from an estimated USD 3.6 billion in 2018 to 23.7 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 17.06% from 2018 to 2030.

This growth can be attributed to increased cost savings, reduction in human error due to increased autonomy, and advancements in artificial intelligence. However, the safety level of autonomous systems during emergency situations is expected to restrain the growth of this market.

Major players in the autonomous aircraft market are Boeing (US), Airbus (France), Lockheed Martin (US), Northrop Grumman (US), and Elbit Systems (Israel), among others. Along with these, there are a few startups in this market that are working on future concepts for fully autonomous passenger air travel. These major players have manufacturing facilities as well as strong distribution networks across key regions, such as North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Based on component, the propulsion system segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Based on autonomy component, the propulsion system segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the advancements in propulsion technology to result in minimum or zero emission, and its capability to work autonomously.

North America is estimated to account for the largest share of the autonomous aircraft market in 2018, and the Rest of the World autonomous aircraft market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period

North America is estimated to account for the largest share of the autonomous aircraft market in 2018. Major aircraft manufacturers, such as Boeing (US), Lockheed Martin (US), Bell Helicopter (US), and The Raytheon Company (US), among others, are based in this region, and thus generate high demand for autonomous aircraft. North America is projected to lead the autonomous aircraft market during the forecast period, in terms of market share.

Rest of the World is expected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. Rest of the World consists of regions including the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, Growth is largely due to an increase in autonomous aircraft for air medical services in Africa. Along with this, the rise in urban air mobility in countries such as Dubai, where regulatory bodies are working in favor of commercialization of these technologies, is resulting in high growth of Rest of the World.
