The Global Military Unmanned Ground Vehicle Market 2019-2029

Summary

UGVs have proved to be exceedingly useful during peacekeeping missions and the ongoing global war on terror, and are finding applications across Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions and combat roles. Furthermore, enhanced capabilities in areas such as endurance, data processing, and communications have broadened the use of UGVs in both defense and intelligence roles.

The global Military Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGVs) market is estimated to value US$597 million by the end of 2019, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.58% to value US$849 million by 2029. The cumulative expenditure on military UGVs over the forecast period is estimated to value around US$7.4 billion. North America is expected to account for the largest share of 46.1% in the military UGV market followed by Asia-Pacific and Europe with respective shares of 34.7% and 14% during 2019-2029. Increase in defense spending in countries such as China, India, Japan and Singapore are expected to drive the market in the Asia-Pacific region over the forecast period. The Middle East, Africa and Latin America are projected to garner respective shares of 3.5%, 1.5% and 0.2% in the global military UGV market during 2019-2029.

The military UGV market is categorized into five segments: Combat UGV, ISR UGV, EOD/IED UGV, Mine-Clearing and Engineering UGV and Logistics UGV. During the forecast period, Combat UGVs account for the largest share of 47.6%, with cumulatively expenditure of US$3.5 billion; driven by large scale procurement programs in countries such as China, Russia, The UK, The US, and India. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the dominant market for Combat UGVs throughout the next decade, followed by North America and Europe accounting for the second and third largest markets in this segment.

EOD/IED UGVs are projected to be the second largest segment over the forecast period and are expected to account for a total share of 20.1% of the global market. EOD UGV is followed by Logistics UGV, ISR UGV and Mine-Clearing and Engineering UGV with shares of 14.9%, 12%, and 5.4% respectively, during the forecast period.

Although deaths from terrorism continue to fall since the last three years, terrorism is still widespread, and even getting worse in some regions. According to the Global Terrorism Index, four terrorist organisations; Islamic State, the Taliban, Al-Shabaab and Boko Haram were responsible for 10,632 deaths in 2017. Nations such as France and the UK have re-organized their defense strategies in light of the Paris attacks, which managed to alarm almost all European nations as well as the US.

Most developed and developing countries across the globe have embarked on modernization initiatives for their homeland security departments, in which UGVs are anticipated to play a major role in the fulfillment of these projects. Other than homeland security applications, UGVs are also used in disaster management exercises to reach into spaces and territories where humans cannot go, in order to gauge the scope and significance of a natural disaster. UGVs are being increasingly adopted by large defense spending nations across the world such as the US, Russia, the UK, China, and India, primarily due to their applicability in areas where it is inconvenient or dangerous to deploy a human operator.
