Market Overview:
The global unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for UCAVs for various applications such as transportation, fighting, rescue, reconnaissance and others. Additionally, the increasing demand for UCAVs from defense and commercial sectors is also contributing to the growth of this market. However, factors such as high cost of UCAVs and stringent regulations may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period. Based on type, medium-altitude UCAV held a major share in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
An unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), also known as a remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) or drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. The flight of UCAVs has been primarily studied by the United States Air Force and United States Navy.
Medium-Altitude UCAV:
UCAV stands for Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle and is also known as Medium-Altitude UAV or Military UAV. It is a type of Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) that generally ranges from 500 to 5,500 feet in altitude and has a wingspan of less than 50 feet.
High-Altitude UCAV:
High-altitude UCAV (HUCAV) is a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) used for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), which is operated at an altitude of between 10 meters to 15,000 meters. The primary mission of high-altitude UAVs is to fly above the clouds and provide a clear view of the ground below.
Application Insights:
The transportation application segment led the global market in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030. The growth can be attributed to the rising use of UCAVs for logistics, troop transport, and battlefield resupply missions. Furthermore, countries such as China and India are focusing on developing their aerial capabilities due to border tensions with neighboring countries. This is expected to drive demand for UCAVs in the region in near future.
Fighting was the second largest application segment accounted for over 23% share of total revenue in 2017 owing to increasing usage by major military powers including United States of America and Russia against each other¢â‚¬â„¢s aircraft during international conflicts or during anti-terror operations at home soil. These vehicles help armed forces achieve air superiority which helps them carry out surgical strikes against enemy targets effectively resulting into higher demand across all regions including North America, Europe & Asia Pacific etcetera.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in terms of revenue share in 2016. The U.S., which is at the forefront, has been witnessing continuous developments and upgrades to its military aircraft fleet since unmanned aircraft are more reliable, fuel-efficient, and cost-effective than their manned counterparts over long haul flights. Moreover, they can be used for missions that would otherwise require a large number of human lives lost or resources wasted such as search & rescue operations or border surveillance operations; hence driving demand across this region.
The Asia Pacific regional market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising investments by governments across countries such as China and India for developing advanced aerial vehicles with enhanced capabilities required during warfare/conflicts/disasters etc.; hence driving demand across this region.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for UCAVs from the military sector for reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition missions
- Growing use of UCAVs by law enforcement agencies and homeland security organizations for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions
- Proliferation of low-cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that can be used as a platform for carrying payloads such as sensors and cameras
- Development of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and big data analytics that are being used in UCAVs
- Emergence of new applications areas such as precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, disaster management etc., that will create new opportunities for the growth of the UCAV market
