Unmanned Aircraft Systems Market
Unmanned Aircraft Systems - Global Market Outlook (2019-2027)
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Unmanned Aircraft Systems Market is accounted for $3.00 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $15.22 billion by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 22.5% during the forecast period. Growing demand in the agriculture sector and growing its deployment for law enforcement & surveillance are the major factors driving the market growth. However, high capital investment of these systems is restraining the growth of the market.
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) also known as drones are air vehicles which operate remotely or fly autonomously without human intervention. They are based on cutting-edge developments in aerospace technologies, offering advancements which may open new and improved civil/ commercial applications as well as improvements to the safety and efficiency of all civil aviation.
Based on application, the agriculture segment is likely to have a huge demand as they provide high-resolution images taken from crops and when specific indices are applied, useful outputs for farm management decision-making are produced. By geography, North America is going to have a lucrative growth during the forecast period due to the adoption of advanced technologies, rising adoption of these systems in agriculture and forestry as well as increasing utilization in commercial applications such as logistics and transportation for monitoring and increasing demand for surveillance in the military and armed forces.
Some of the key players profiled in the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Market include AeroVironment Inc, Airborne Innovations LLC, Airbus Aerial, Airgon LLC, Alta Devices, ALX Systems SA, AP Equipment Financing, Da-Jiang Innovations Science and Technology Co Ltd, Lockheed Martin Corporation and SenseFly SA, BlueSKy, China Aerospace, DJI, GoPro and Yamaha.
