Anti-Drone Market to Hit $14.51 Billion by 2030 as Security Threats Drive 26.5% CAGR

1 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance · Aug 17

Summary

  • $14.51 billion is the projected size of the global anti-drone market in 2030, up from $4.48 billion in 2025 and implying a 26.5% annual growth rate, MarketsandMarkets said.
  • Unauthorized drone sightings near airports, along with rising threats to military, government and critical infrastructure sites, are pushing buyers toward layered counter-UAS systems.
  • Those systems increasingly combine radar, RF sensing and EO/IR cameras with neutralization tools such as jamming, spoofing and directed-energy weapons, while AI and machine learning improve detection and tracking.
  • Laser systems are forecast to grow fastest, long-range systems above 5 km are the quickest-expanding range segment, and ground-based platforms remain the leading deployment type.
  • Military and defense is the largest vertical, while Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region with a 30.0% CAGR as governments and operators spend more to secure airspace.

Insights

With anti-drone markets booming to $14.5 billion, how will civilian airports safely deploy military-grade jamming and laser weapons?
As drone threats multiply, will AI-driven laser defenses revolutionize global airspace security or trigger an uncontrollable technological arms race?
Could the rapid shift toward autonomous, multi-layered drone defeat systems accidentally endanger the very commercial airspace they aim to protect?
