Report 1: Drones in Aerospace & Defense

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, have been a regular feature in military applications, especially surveillance. As the range of defense applications continues to grow as technology develops, the pace of this development continues to increase, driven by innumerable geopolitical factors. In the military sector, the leading UAV manufacturing countries include the US and Israel, with China demonstrating steady growth. The People’s Republic of China has placed the development of drone technology as a central strategic goal in its continuing struggle to assert itself as a regional hegemonic power. Chinese UAV manufacturers are actively seeking to exploit the market gaps left unaddressed by the US and Israeli firms by offering technologically equivalent or even advanced alternatives at a significantly lower cost. A combination of geopolitics and intense competition means that the leaders vary from one region to another. For instance, General Atomics and Northrop Grumman, the US military UAV giants, generate revenues primarily from the US and its allies across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. Similarly, Israeli companies, particularly Elbit Systems and IAI, are strong in the domestic and US-allied markets but have failed to penetrate neighboring Arab markets.

Report 2: Drones (Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles) for Maritime Operation

According to GlobalData the military UAV market, valued at $8 billion in 2021, is projected to grow at a CAGR of more than 7% over the forecast period. Most of today’s UAVs are designed for ISR, search and rescue, and constabulary missions. Advanced navies seek to enhance their utilization of UAVs in logistic transport and other naval operations such as anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASUW), mine counter measure (MCM), and electronic warfare (EW). General Atomics is one of the largest UAV manufacturers, selling the Reaper and Predator UAV to the US and allies worldwide. To meet growing military demands for accurate ISR and strike capabilities, the company’s focus is on providing long-endurance, mission-capable UAVs equipped with integrated sensors and data link systems.

Report 3: Unmanned Ground Vehicles

The military UGV market was valued at $476 million in 2022 and is expected to achieve a CAGR of more than 4% over the forecast period. The military UGV market can be categorized into intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) UGV; logistics UGV; explosives and mine disposal UGV; and combat UGV. Furthermore, the combat UGV segment is expected to dominate the UGV market over the next decade. The use of unmanned systems in both the military and civilian sectors is growing and so will the demand for AI-enhanced automation. Although many unmanned systems have been remotely operated for a long time, advances in AI and machine learning capabilities will allow users to automate some of the more routine or less complex operations.

Report 4: Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) (Defense)

The use of autonomous systems is increasing significantly every day in the military field to reduce costs and keep humans out of danger. Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) also have the potential to be used as force multipliers in many areas of naval operations, with their modular structures and their ability to carry many different payloads. Leading shipbuilders such as HII, Fincantieri, Austal, and BAE systems are competing for the highest share of the growing USV market. GlobalData expects that the USV market will be worth US$3.1 billion in 2031, up from US$2.1 billion in 2021. The demand for USVs is anticipated to be driven by the autonomous MCM capability enhancement and distributed fleet structure initiatives undertaken by the US, China, the UK, and France.

Report 5: Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (Defense)

GlobalData expects the unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) market to be worth $750.5 million in 2030, up from $525.1 million in 2020. The demand for UUVs is expected to be driven by the autonomous MCM capability enhancement and distributed fleet structure initiatives undertaken by the US, China, Russia, the UK, and France. Atlas Elektronik is a leading manufacturer of unmanned surface and underwater vehicles such as SeaFox, Cobra, SeaCat, and ARCIMS. In January 2021, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) awarded a £25 million contract to Atlas Elektronik UK to deliver three autonomous uncrewed minesweeping systems to the Royal Navy. As per reports, the Navy is eager to be on the front line of innovation and is pushing to integrate new technologies and the digitization of its fleet to prepare for the future operating environment.

Report 6: Loitering Munitions

Loitering munitions are a rapidly expanding segment within unmanned systems and munitions. Their ability to stay on target until a target has been acquired is what makes them especially useful for military operations. While loitering munitions have been in use for several decades, their use has increased significantly in the past years, with the coming decade expected to see unprecedented growth in the market. The loitering munitions market will benefit from increased modularity, increased use of artificial intelligence (AI), use of swarm technology, and increased sensor capabilities in the next ten years. Cobra, a Ukraine-based company, has developed a C-UAS drone that has interchangeable warheads as well as four different operating modes. Its ability to be fitted with kamikaze, kinetic, or reusable effectors will make it a viable competitor in several markets.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors.

This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
