Anti-drone Market Size To Reach $10.56 Billion By 2030

Anti-drone Market Growth & Trends

The global anti-drone market size is expected to reach USD 10.56 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 27.6% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing adoption of drones across various industries has also led to an increased focus on ensuring the safety and security of critical infrastructure, military assets, and public spaces. This has fueled the rapid growth of the market, which is developing innovative solutions to detect, identify, and mitigate potential drone-related threats.

The market growth is primarily driven by the increasing prominence of unmanned aerial vehicles, which are being used for both commercial and leisure activities worldwide. This rise in the use of drones has resulted in a surge in public safety violations, making the discovery and documentation of these drones essential for security management activities. The surging adoption of aerial remote sensing technologies for various applications, including agriculture, mining, and environmental monitoring, has led to an increased demand for anti-drone systems. These systems help ensure the safe and secure operation of drones in these applications.

The development of advanced detection and mitigation technologies is one of the major trends in the market for anti-drones. These technologies include radar systems, radio frequency (RF) detection, electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) sensors, and acoustic detection. These systems are designed to identify, track, and neutralize rogue drones effectively. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in these systems enhances their ability to differentiate between drones and other objects, reducing false alarms and increasing accuracy.

The growing demand for enhanced security and protection of critical infrastructure and high-profile events is also driving the adoption of anti-drone solutions. Governments and private entities are recognizing the importance of proactive measures to mitigate the risks posed by unauthorized drones, which can include corporate espionage, disruption of operations, and potential safety hazards. The integration of anti-drone systems with existing security infrastructure is enabling seamless protection against drone-related threats in both the public and private sectors.

The increasing government spending on anti-drone R&D and deployment is accelerating the market expansion. Agencies are investing heavily to develop and deploy sophisticated anti-drone systems capable of detecting, tracking, and neutralizing unauthorized drones. The integration of high-energy lasers, high-power microwaves, and artificial intelligence are among the technological advancements transforming the anti-drone landscape.
