The Europe military drones market is expected to grow from US$ 3,834.49 million in 2023 to US$ 5,931.60 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.1% from 2023 to 2028.
Surge in Global Defense Sector Fuels Europe Military Drones Market
Changes in the modern warfare system have been urging governments across the region to allocate higher funds for respective military forces. Budget allocation enables military forces to procure advanced technologies and equipment from domestic or international manufacturers. On the same lines, soldier and military vehicle modernization practices are also on the rise across numerous countries. With the growing need to strengthen military forces with advanced technologies, armaments, artilleries, and vehicles, among others, defense forces across the world are investing substantial amounts in the aforementioned products. A continuous urge to deploy new technologies in combat and non-combat operations by the defense forces is further boosting defense spending.
Asymmetric warfare or modern battlefields demand enormous information to carry out operations successfully. Fiscal budgets, nowadays, are focused on robotic platforms and related technologies, contributing to the development and procurement of military drones.
According to the European Union (EU) data published in December 2022, defense sector spending in the EU reached US$ 242 billion (EUR 214 billion) in 2021, recording an increase of 6% compared to 2020. Such a rise in the defense sector contributes to the adoption of many technologies and weapons to strengthen the country’s defense and security. According to January 2023 updates from Ukraine's Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov, the country is planning to invest US$ 550 million in the procurement of drones in 2023. The government has signed 16 supply deals with Ukrainian drone manufacturers. Thus, such investments and initiatives by different country governments in their defense sectors contribute to the proliferation of the military drones market.
Europe Military Drones Market Overview
Based on country, the Europe military drones market is segmented into France, Germany, Italy, the UK, Russia, and the Rest of Europe. The government authorities in Europe are introducing new rules for military drones. According to a news article by the European Commission in January 2023, new European Union (EU) rules focused on establishing a dedicated airspace for drones—U-space—were enforced, allowing operators to provide a broader range of services. This space creates a condition for drones to operate in a safe environment and further allows for the scaling up of the drone industry and services. These rules will help improve military drones' performance by carrying out complex, long-distance operations. These rules are also focused on the technological development of drones under Drone Strategy 2.0 and support the full implementation of the U-space by 2030. Further, in May 2022, Indian government conducted Bharat Drone Mahotsav 2022 to promote the use of drone technologies in defense. Such government initiatives will contribute to the adoption and technological development of military drones, propelling the market growth.
European countries are investing in military drones to strengthen national security. For instance, according to Italy's budgetary plan for 2021, the Ministry of Defense is scheduled to invest ~US$ 63 million over 7 years to arm Italy's Reaper drones. In addition, under the Eurodrone project, European countries such as Italy, Germany, Spain, and France got the green light to develop 20 Medium-Altitude and Long-Endurance (MALE) drones to compete against Israel and US-made UAVs. In January 2022, Pedro Sanchez, the Prime Minister of Spain, agreed to authorize an investment of US$ 1.98 billion (EUR 1.75 billion) for the partnership between Italy, Germany, Spain, and France to develop Europe's largest military drone, where Leonardo, a top global player for the drone technology, will provide drone parts for Europe military. All these factors are fueling the growth of the market.
