Market forecasts by Region, User, Application, Platform, Size, and Power Source. Country Analysis, Market and Technology Overview, Opportunities and Scenario Analysis, and Leading Company Profiles
Dull and dirty operations that could put human lives at stake are more and more being executed by the unmanned ground vehicles. Rescue operations, firefighting, surveillance, mine clearance, bomb defusal, logistics, and combat missions are amongst the various applications. The development and use of autonomous functions for driving and other non-weapon functions are increasing, but combat functions are restrained by ethical questions. The use of combat applications is expected to grow further after military field testing and doctrine development.
Most small UGVs use battery electric drive systems, where medium and large UGV’s have either Diesel or Hybrid power. Small UGVs largely use tracks and are remote controlled, mainly for local reconnaissance and EOD operations. Large platforms are used for route clearing, demining, engineering, reconnaissance, and flank support in formation for tanks. Some of them are converted manned platforms.
The Global Unmanned Ground Vehicle Market has a market volume of US$ 2.16 billion in 2022 and grows with a CAGR of 17.7% over the forecast period of 2022-2030. North America has the largest market of US$ 0.79 The Asia Pacific region is expected to show the highest market growth with a CAGR of 22.3% over the forecast period. This is owing to the presence of countries like India, China, Japan, South Korea. The increased investment in the military modernization programs in the defense sector, rising use of unmanned ground vehicles for homeland security and commercial applications is another factor that is expected to drive the market in the APAC region.
