According to a report by P&S Intelligence, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) anti-drone market is predicted to generate $2,105.0 million by 2025, and is projected to advance at a 47.8% CAGR during the forecast period (2018–2025). The market is being driven by the rising number of illegal and terrorist activities, surging incidence of security contravention by unauthorized drones, close encounters with commercial aircraft, and drone detection cases. On the basis of platform type, the market is divided into ground-based, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based, and hand-held.

Out of these, the ground-based division accounted for the major share of the APAC anti-drone market in 2017. The UAV-based division is predicted to progress at the fastest pace during the forecast period, which can be owing to the rising shift in the preference of end users from traditional to innovative means of countering and detecting security threats posed by UAVs. In terms of technology, the market is categorized into traditional kinetic, electronic, and laser, among which the counter-drones making use of electronic technology are predicted to hold the largest share of the market during the forecast period.

This is majorly because of the early adoption of these drones as compared to other technologies in the APAC region. This being said, players operating in the APAC anti-drone market are also focusing on developing innovative laser anti-drones for countering security threats that are posed by drones. When end user is taken into consideration, the market is classified into government, military & defense, commercial, and others. Out of these, the military & defense industry is predicted to contribute the largest revenue share to the market during the forecast period.

The increasing adoption of counter-drones in emerging economies is opening up wide opportunities for the players operating in the APAC anti-drone market. While the adoption of this product is still in the initial stage in developing nations, including India and Japan, a surging demand for them is projected to be created by end users in the years to come. Furthermore, enhancements in interdiction range and detection efficiency in radio frequency jamming/spoofing and laser methods are also predicted to drive the demand for these products in the years to come.

A major factor leading to the rising requirement for anti-drone technology is the surging incidence of security contravention by drones that are unsanctioned and growing number of illegal and terrorist activities. For example, in 2015, in Japan, a man objecting the country’s nuclear policy let a drone, which was carrying radioactive sand, fall onto the Prime Minister’s office in Tokyo. Such kinds of threats are creating the need for advanced technologies to prevent them from causing any harm.

Hence, the growing number of illegal activities and rising adoption of counter-drones in developing countries are driving the market.
