Commercial Sector Gaining Traction in UAV Sense and Avoid System Market

Written by BIS Research | Apr 17, 2018 1:20:56 PM

Over the past few years, there has been an increase in the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The various advantages of UAVs are safety in airspace and their ability to enable the beyond visual line of sight operation.  According to the market intelligence report by BIS Research titled, ‘Global UAV Sense and Avoid System Market-analysis and Forecast (2017-2022),’ the market for UAV sense and avoid system accounted the value $508.7 million in the year 2016 million, with commercial application holding the highest share. The prominent share of the commercial sector is attributed to the rise in demands of drones equipped with sense and avoid system across commercial applications such as inspection, delivery, first responder, and aerial imaging, among others.

Sense and Avoid system is a combination of various programmed sensors and controllers installed in the airframe of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). These sensors and controllers enable the system to detect any obstacle in the path and avoid it completely while flying in the airspace. For this, the system uses a combination of cameras, radar, LiDAR, and other components. Further, the prime factors responsible for the growth of the system are increasing procurement of UAVs for military and commercial uses, along with stringent rules and regulations imposed by various countries’ government for UAV safety.

However, the challenges for the growth of the UAV sense and avoid system market are communicational constraints, lower efficiency of avoid & sense system, and miniaturizing collisions avoidance system for small UAVs. Moreover, increase in the technological advancements to build fully autonomous drones, and demands of sense and avoid technologies for swarm drones are expected to present pool of opportunities for the growth of the UAV sense and avoid systems market. The significant technologies in the system include cooperative and non-cooperative. At present, the market is predominantly driven by the rise in the demands of autonomous drone for beyond visual line of sight operations.

Geographically, North America is leading the market for the UAV Sense and avoid systems followed by Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW). The United States is the leading country and is expected to continue its lead during the forecast period. This is due to the presence of several commercial and non-commercial UAV sense and avoid system manufacturers, present in the respective country. Further, North America is expected to register the highest CAGR from 2017-2022, among others. Moreover, Major applications of UAV sense and avoid system are commercial and non-commercial applications. Further, the commercial applications can be segmented into inspection, aerial imaging, and first responder, among others.

BIS Research has conducted extensive research on the global UAV sense and avoid system market and compiled the observation and insight in this report. The market intelligence report aims at providing an in-depth analysis of the key development strategies, marketing strategies and market trend dynamics which include drivers, restraints, and opportunities prevailing in the industry.
