UAE & Saudi Arabia Small UAV Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2023-2030)

Report Description

UAE & Saudi Arabia Small UAV Market is expected to grow at a significant rate of around 15% during the forecast period 2023-2030. The increasing government focus in the UAE and Saudi Arabia is one of the driving factors for the small UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) market in both countries. Governments are recognizing the potential benefits of using these unmanned aerial systems for various purposes, leading to increased investments and regulations. One major factor contributing to the increasing government focus is the need for enhanced security and surveillance capabilities. Small UAVs can be used for border patrol, intelligence gathering, and monitoring high-security areas. These unmanned systems provide real-time data and imagery, enabling authorities to make informed decisions and respond quickly to any security threats. For instance, in October 2021, the UAE’s National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority announced the launch of a drone registry program. This initiative aims to regulate and manage the use of small UAVs, ensuring their safe operation and integration into the country’s airspace.

“Amongst wing type, the rotary wing category to witness higher CAGR during the forecast period”

On the basis of wing type, the market is bifurcated into fixed ring and rotary ring. The rotary wing category is anticipated to grow with high CAGR during the forthcoming period. One of the primary advantages of rotary wing small UAVs is their ability to hover, fly at low speeds, and perform intricate maneuvers in tight spaces. This makes them ideal for applications such as aerial photography, videography, search and rescue operations, inspection of infrastructure, and monitoring of agricultural or industrial sites. Their agility and maneuverability allow for precise control and accurate data collection in challenging environments. In recent years, the rotary wing small UAV segment has witnessed significant advancements in terms of technology, performance, and affordability. Manufacturers are continuously developing improved rotor designs, lightweight materials, and more efficient propulsion systems to enhance flight capabilities and increase flight durations. These advancements have resulted in the availability of smaller and more capable rotary wing small UAVs in the market.
