Key Drivers

The major factors that are driving the growth of the Global Military Robots market include the increasing requirement for assistance by military robots in combat tasks, increasing benefits offered by military robots in hazardous and extreme conditions, and the growing enhancement in ISR and target acquisition using robots. The increasing adoption of UAVs and USVs in the ISR will have a positive impact of the growing demand of the market. Emerging need for effective military robots to perform harmful tasks and to be used in life-threatening situations in order to reduce the chances of soldiers will further propel the adoption of military robots, driving the market growth. Additionally, increasing investment made by the leading players on the R&D to innovate continuously and introduce more efficient and advanced technologies, will offer enormous opportunities to the market. The introduction of various military modernization programs and significant increase in defense expenditure, are estimated to expand the market in the coming years. For example, as per the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), in 2019, the U.S. has increased its allowance for unmanned systems and related technologies by 28% to USD 9.6 billion across all the agencies in the Department of Defense (DoD).

The increasing demand for military robots among numerous defense forces driven by its exceptional advantages such as situational awareness, aid to soldiers on the battleground, disarm bombs, as well as help in search and rescue operations, will drastically boost the market growth. Increasing investment by government of both developed and developing nations to strengthen their existing security infrastructure has taken initiatives to equip air, marine and land forces with new security solutions, will offer enormous opportunities to the market. As per the report published by SIPRI, India’s military expenditure increased to USD 76.6 billion, and India became the third largest military spender in the world in FY2021. Moreover, the rising advancement in robotics technologies, and growing development and innovation in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are also expected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period. However, strict regulation for technology sharing, growing scepticism associated with the usage of automated weaponized robots coupled with the high cost of military robots are restraining the growth of the market.

Based on Platform, the land robots segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing penetration of land robots for security of border, and battlefield engagement along with the growing terrorist attack across the globe, especially in the U.S. The adoption of UGVs in harmful challenging homeland security & military applications is estimated to boost the market growth. For example, in June 2020, General Dynamics entered in a partnership with British Army to offer two fully electric 8×8 Multi-Utility Tactical Transport (MUTT) UGVs. MUTT UGV simplifies control-less operations such as Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance (ISTAR).

Based on the Application, the mine clearance segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR in the market during the forecast period owing to the rising threat from IED across the globe and increase adoption of military robots in mine clearance to reduce the risk of unexploded ordnance and other dangerous objects. Remotely Operated vehicles (ROVs) and land robots are being widely adopted for mine clearance operation. However, the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance segment is forecast to expand at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the rising ISR activities across the North America and Asian regions.

Mode of Operation Segment Analysis
The autonomous segment is estimated to witness a faster CAGR over the upcoming years, due to the increasing integration of technologies like fiber optics tether, 3D imaging, and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) with autonomous robots. The growing adoption of advanced aerial robots incorporated with missiles and weapons used for reconnaissance without endangering pilots. Also, the semi-autonomous segment is expected to hold a prominent share due to strategic government initiatives undertaken to encourage the procurement of military robots and robots for border security activities.
