Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Market Expected to Grow at a CAGR of Over 10% - Exclusive Report by Mordor Intelligence
HYDERABAD, India, Dec. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- According to new market research report by Mordor Intelligence, the market for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 10% during the forecast period. Growing applications of UAVs for various commercial purposes, like remote sensing, photo and videography, oil, gas, and mineral exploration, disaster relief, recreational uses, and other purposes, are driving the growth of the market studied.
UAVs are pilotless aircraft, either controlled by remote control by a human operator, or autonomously by onboard computers, and uses aerodynamic forces to navigate and perform desired functions. The report on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market covers the usage of UAVs in the commercial, civil, and military applications. Moreover, the UAV market has been segmented based on the size of the UAVs. Small UAV are group 1 UAVs, which have a maximum gross take-off weight (MGTW) of about 0 - 20 lbs. Medium UAV comes under group 2 UAVs, which have an MGTW of about 21 - 55 lbs. UAVs classified under group 3,4, and 5 are known as large UAVs. The large group of UAV has an MGTW of more than 55 lbs.
Highlights of the Market:
- UAVs are now being largely used in performing ISR missions, the target recognition, and electronic warfare. Defense ministries around the world are investing in this capability, to reduce troop casualties, and as they are a less costly alternative to manned aircraft.
- However, the strict airspace regulations across major countries of the world, especially the United States, where FAA pioneered in setting regulations for commercial use of drones in the region, may hamper the growth of the market studied.
- The Military Segment is Expected to Dominate the UAV Market During the Forecast Period
- Since earlier times, UAVs have been considered to be the major source of collecting intelligence through reconnaissance, as well as surveillance. Owing to the capabilities possessed by the UAVs to reduce the risk of loss of human life, UAVs have gained significant traction among various government worldwide in the last 10 years.
- Various countries are facing difficulties to reach borders (covered with mountains), such as the Indo-China border, to collect intelligence, which is why drones with advanced ISR capabilities are used to collect data from that region.
- The deployment of a new vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing drone on a missile guided destroyer by China in 2019 may lead to the done performing reconnaissance and search missions with long range for frigates and destroyers. Thus, the aforementioned advancements may lead to high growth of drones in the military segment.

Asia-Pacific is Expected to Experience the Fastest Growth in the UAV Market During the Forecast Period
- Currently, North America holds the major share in the UAV market, globally. This is primarily due to the increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles, both for commercial and military applications.
- The United States is a proven global leader in producing advanced unmanned systems, and a specialist in manufacturing UAVs with intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to combat warfare.
- However, Asia-Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR, during the forecast period, due to the growing popularity of UAVs in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as increasing technological developments of drones in the region and changes in regulations. The procurement of UAVs in the region is steadily growing, thereby driving the growth of the UAV market in Asia-Pacific.
