the global UAV payload market over the next ten years, alongside potential market opportunities to enter the
industry, using detailed market size forecasts.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
The global UAV payload market is expected to value US$43.7 billion by the end of 2012, which is estimated
to increase to US$68.6 billion by 2022, representing a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period. Market
demand is anticipated to be driven by increased UAV procurement by several countries across the world and
continuous requirement formulations in areas such as persistent surveillance, suppression/destruction of
enemy air defense (SEAD/DEAD), communications relays and combat search and rescue (CSAR). Another
major factor which is expected to drive the market over the forecast period is the increasing incorporation of
UAVs in civilian applications such as Homeland Security, disaster management and border surveillance.

Key Features and Benefits
The report provides detailed analysis of the market for UAV payload during 2012-2022, including the factors
that influence why countries are investing or cutting defense expenditure. It provides detailed expectations of
growth rates and projected total expenditure. Northrop Grumman, Rheinmetall, FLIR Systems,
AeroVironment, BAE Systems, Elbit Systems, Denel Dynamics, L 3 WESCAM, Thales, Lockheed Martin,
SAAB, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, AAI Corporation, Israel Aerospace Industries A low number
of countries, including the US, UK, and Israel, are currently using armed drones. The US used combat UAVs
with munitions in numerous missions in Afghanistan to strike suspected terrorists and insurgents. The country
has recently doubled its fleet of Reaper combat UAVs in Afghanistan. The UK also performs strike missions
with its UAVs in Afghanistan. However, numerous countries are undertaking strategies to equip their fleets
with combat UAVs in the future, which is expected to bolster the demand for weaponry payloads.
Key Market Issues
The Global UAV Payload Market 2012-2022

2. The Europe and North America account for an estimated 80% of global defense spending. These countries
were, however, among the hardest hit by the global financial crisis. This has led to austerity measures being
introduced by national governments, which in turn have resulted in reduced defense budgets and the
cancellation and indefinite delay of various UAV and associated payload projects. All these factors have had a
detrimental effect on the growth of the UAV payload industry. The overall industry consists of approximately
36 companies dominated by a few large firms. The new entrants and smaller firms are encountered with
substantially high barriers to secure a considerable share of the market. For example, in the UAV and payload
industry of the US, a major share of more than half of the total market revenue is shared by the top four
companies.
Key Highlights
With the expected growth in market demand and diversity in UAV applications, there is a growing
requirement for the future UAV and payload design to combine multi mission, modular, open architecture
features, capable of accomplishing diverse missions. In addition, with the drive towards austerity measures in
defense budgets in developed countries, the UAVs are expected to be flexible enough for diverse operations
than dedicated to a single mission. In recent times, UAVs have attracted significant attention for use in both
military and homeland security. As the best substitute to the otherwise used manned aircraft for surveillance
and reconnaissance missions, UAVs are now attracting significant investment by several countries. Payloads
are essential systems in the UAVs which are instrumental in carrying out various missions and the demand for
UAV payloads is thus expected to increase proportionally with the UAVs.
