Anti-Drone Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Anti Drone Market Analysis

The Anti-Drone Market size is estimated at USD 2.03 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 6.31 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 25.46% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The rising incidence of critical infrastructure security breaches by unauthorized drones and the surging adoption of aerial remote sensing technologies to safeguard critical infrastructure are among the factors driving the growth of the anti-drone market.

The demand for anti-drone systems is mainly due to the increasing proliferation of cheaper, small drones. Growing cases of security breaches by unidentified drones and terrorist groups' use of drones is further propelling the demand for counter-drone technologies. In addition to the defense sector, homeland security, and law enforcement agencies purchase counter-drone systems to counter unidentified drones entering critical infrastructures.

Counter-drone systems face challenges in performance, practicality, legality, and policy. Using anti-drone jammers or unauthorized UAS detection and countermeasure deployments can result in electromagnetic and radio frequency (RF) interference. This is especially true at airports, affecting flight safety and air traffic management issues. Such limitations are expected to challenge the market's growth during the forecast period.

The drone technology is developing fast, from cargo drones to novel command and control concepts, autonomy to swarming, and collision avoidance to multi-modal operations. Furthermore, the development of IoT and 5G is expected to open the possibility of operating drones with the help of the internet from anywhere in the world. These factors are expected to challenge the current anti-drone systems.
