Micro Tactical Ground Robot Global Market Report 2024

The micro tactical ground robot market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.46 billion in 2023 to $5.09 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as military modernization, counter-terrorism operations, the need for urban warfare capabilities, increased applications in law enforcement, and budget allocations for these technologies.

The micro tactical ground robot market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.46 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as humanitarian and disaster response needs, increased investment in research and development, a rise in law enforcement applications, growing demand for security and surveillance solutions, and challenges related to urbanization. Major trends expected in the forecast period include miniaturization and portability of the robots, increased autonomy in their operations, multi-mission capabilities, enhanced sensor technology, and a focus on interoperability and connectivity for improved functionality.

The anticipated rise in defense spending is set to drive the expansion of the micro tactical ground robot market in the foreseeable future. Defense budget allocation covers personnel, training, medical expenses, and the acquisition of weapons and equipment. Increased defense expenditures often translate into higher investments in military technologies such as micro tactical ground robots, resulting in an augmented demand for these advanced robotic systems. For instance, a report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) in April 2022 revealed that global military spending exceeded $2 trillion, experiencing a 0.7% real-term increase in 2021, reaching $2,113 billion. The continuous upward trajectory in military spending globally underscores the growing demand for defense capabilities, contributing to the growth of the micro tactical ground robot market.

The surge in terrorism is expected to be a driving force behind the growth of the micro tactical ground robot market in the coming years. Terrorism, characterized by violent and unlawful activities, prompts an increased need for advanced technologies. Micro tactical ground robots are recognized as valuable tools for enhancing security measures, safeguarding lives, and effectively countering evolving terrorist threats. A report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in May 2022 highlighted a 53% increase in terrorist attacks in 2021, with 43% of these incidents targeting the government, armed forces, and law enforcement. The rise in domestic terrorism, orchestrated by groups such as white supremacists and anti-government militias, underscores the crucial role of innovative technologies, including micro tactical ground robots, in addressing security challenges.

Product innovation stands out as a key trend driving the popularity of the micro tactical ground robot market. Leading companies in the market are actively developing innovative solutions to enhance their market positions. For example, Elbit Systems Ltd., an Israel-based defense electronics firm, introduced COPAS-L in June 2022. COPAS-L is a new electro-optical payload designed for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR). With compact dimensions and a weight of just 40 kg, COPAS-L enables light platforms to achieve ISTAR capabilities, including cameras with infrared lasers. The inclusion of artificial intelligence video analytics enhances capabilities such as Automatic Target Recognition and Classification, Video Motion Detection, and improved image processing.

Major players in the micro tactical ground robot market are adopting a strategic partnership approach to expand their capabilities. Strategic partnerships involve leveraging mutual strengths and resources to achieve shared goals and success. For instance, Heven Drones, an Israel-based drone manufacturer, partnered with Roboteam, an Israel-based provider of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), in March 2022. This collaboration resulted in the development of the Heven Drones H100 Robo and Roboteam's Micro Tactical Ground Robot (MTGR), creating the first-ever flying robot. This innovative synergy optimizes capabilities for both ground and aerial robots, enhancing efficiency across various scenarios. The partners continue to explore applications to further improve the synergy between land and air robotic systems.

In May 2021, AeroVironment Inc., a US-based manufacturer of unmanned aircraft systems, acquired Telerob GmbH for $45.4 million. This acquisition significantly expanded AeroVironment's portfolio of intelligent, multi-domain robotic systems, including unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The collaboration aimed to provide comprehensive, integrated mission solutions across air, near-space, ground, and maritime domains. Telerob GmbH, based in Germany, specializes in designing, manufacturing, and selling remote-controlled robots for security, emergency response, military, industrial, and research applications.
