Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming increasingly important for militaries worldwide. UAVs are expected to perform key roles in current and future forces, thus providing robust demand over the next decade. UAVs are taking on a range of battlefield tasks, and have proven critical to intelligence gathering, targeting, and situational awareness; while armed UAVs are being used in attack missions where a persistent presence is required, or where manned aircraft operations are deemed unsuitable. There is also an emerging market for civil or non-military UAVs, that has received significant impetus from the US plan to integrate UAVs into national airspace. We have determined that the value of the global UAV market in 2012 will reach $7.26bn.
We expect UAV procurement and development to obtain priority funding. However, the cancellation of some high-profile UAV programmes has reinforced the notion that there are few defence areas that remain immune to current defence spending cuts by Western countries.
The definitive report contains 270 tables, charts and graphs that add visual analysis in order to explain developing trends within the UAV market. This report provides forecasts for the period 2012-2022 in terms of value (US$) and number of units for the global UAV market, as well as for five global submarkets: high-altitude long endurance (HALE) UAVs; medium-altitude long endurance (MALE) UAVs; unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs); tactical UAVs; and small UAVs. Two separate segments that straddle these submarkets are also reviewed: naval UAVs and civil UAVs. In addition, 20 national UAV markets are forecast and analysed over the period 2012-2022, including the total UAV market and the five submarkets for each leading national market in terms of value (US$) and number of units. The report also provides profiles of 30 leading companies operating within the market, and includes an exclusive interview with a principal UAV company, providing expert insight alongside our analysis.
