United States Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Market Outlook

The United States unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.3% between 2024 and 2032.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • The US Department of Defence utilises over 11,000 DoD UAS across branches and the National Guard for training and missions.
  • US military expenditure surged to USD 876.94 billion in 2022, thus, significantly impacting the United States UAV market.
  • UAVs serve various purposes including defence, aerial imaging, firefighting, river monitoring, environmental observation, and law enforcement.

 

The United States unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market is experiencing growth primarily due to the small and medium UAV sector, which offers cost-effective, agile, and easily deployable aerial solutions across multiple industries

Small and medium-sized UAVs present cost efficiency, manoeuvring capabilities, simple deployment, flexibility, and reduced regulatory barriers. These affordable and agile drones are suitable for tasks such as inspection, search and rescue, and surveillance due to their compact design, swift deployment, and versatility, often encountering fewer regulatory challenges.

 

Large UAVs provide prolonged endurance, substantial payload capacity, high-altitude operation, durability, and autonomy. With extended flight durations and enhanced payload capabilities, they excel in surveillance and reconnaissance missions over long distances. Their robustness and autonomy make them well-suited for challenging environments and intricate tasks, ultimately improving operational effectiveness.

 

In February 2024, Skyfire Consulting, a consulting firm specializing in public safety UAVs, partnered with the Fremont, California Fire and Police Departments to introduce the groundbreaking Drone First Responder (DFR) initiative in the United States. The program utilized UAVs for swift response, delivering essential real-time situational awareness to responders.
