Global Unmanned Composites Market is valued approximately at USD XX billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than XX% over the forecast period 2023-2030. The Unmanned Composites Market refers to the market for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) made of composite materials. Composite materials are a combination of two or more materials with different physical and chemical properties, designed to create a material with superior performance characteristics. The major driving factors for the Global Unmanned Composites Market are rising demand for lightweight and durable materials and growing demand for UAVs. Moreover, technological advancement and cohesive government support for development of unmanned composites is creating lucrative growth opportunities for the market during 2023-2030.
In 2019, the United States Army announced plans to purchase over 900 Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) from Textron Systems, a leading provider of unmanned systems. The purchase was part of the army’s effort to modernize its fleet and increase its unmanned capabilities. Along with this, in 2020, the global delivery company, UPS, received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to operate a fleet of drones for commercial deliveries. The company plans to use drones to deliver medical supplies and samples, as well as other items, to various locations.
Similarly, in 2021, the Australian Defense Force announced plans to acquire a fleet of MQ-9B SkyGuardian drones from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems to enhance its intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. Thus, rising support of government for UAVs is driving the growth for the market However, the high initial cost of Unmanned Composites stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Unmanned Composites Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.
