Based on the component, the hardware segment accounted for a market share of over 65% in 2023. While software developments are increasingly important in data analysis, decision-making, and system integration, fundamental detection and countermeasure capabilities continue to rely heavily on hardware components. Hardware including jammers, signal disruptors, directed energy weapons (lasers), and physical capture nets are required to neutralize drones after discovery. Advancements in these components influence the efficacy and adaptability of countermeasures. Different environments and threat profiles require unique hardware configurations. From portable devices for personal use to large-scale infrastructure security solutions, hardware provides the versatility required for a wide range of applications.
Based on the end user, the government & defense sector captured about 48%share of the anti-drone market in 2023. Governments allocate significant portions of their defense budgets to counter-drone technology, considering it a crucial element of modern warfare and homeland security. Governments are increasingly concerned about the use of drones for terrorism, surveillance, and drug smuggling. This has created a need for investing in counter-drone technology to safeguard important infrastructure, borders, and military facilities. The military uses anti-drone technologies to defend facilities and troops, secure sensitive activities, and even execute counter-offensives against hostile drones.
North America region acquired about 40% share of anti-drone market in 2023. North America houses prominent research institutes and technology businesses that are actively developing and innovating in the anti-drone field. The U.S. government devotes enormous resources to defense including expenditures on superior counter-drone systems. Also, as national security is a big concern in the country, protecting airports, electricity grids, government buildings, and other important infrastructure against drone strikes is emphasized, resulting in strong market demand. Also, the increasing public awareness of the potential risks and vulnerabilities associated with unauthorized drone activities stimulates demand for anti-drone technologies among government agencies, businesses, and private individuals in North America.
