The global Autonomous Aircraft market gathered revenue around USD 5.20 Billion in 2020 and market is set to grow USD 22.9 Billion by the end of 2027 and is estimated to expand at a modest CAGR of 16.10% during the prediction period 2021 to 2027.
Growth Factors:
This growth can be attributed to the increased cost savings, reduction in human error due to increased autonomy, and advancements in artificial intelligence.
The global autonomous aircraft market is experiencing a significant growth, due to increasing procurement of autonomous UAVs globally. Autonomous aircraft is a fully-automated manned or unmanned aircraft that require minimum or no human intervention in its operations. Autonomous aircrafts can be identified with their ability to perform complex maneuvers for extended period of time at remote distances. Installation of autonomous system on an aircraft reduces the workload of a pilot. However, installation of such system on a passenger aircraft could raise safety concerns due to involved risk of system failure. On the other hand, cargo & utility aircrafts are the first to adopt this autonomous flight technology after continuous & rigorous testing.
Based on component, the autonomous aircraft market is segmented into flight management computers, air data inertial reference units, sensors, actuation systems, software, intelligent servos, cameras, radars & transponders, and propulsion systems. The flight management computers segment is expected to lead the autonomous aircraft market during the forecast period. The software segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on technology, the autonomous aircraft market has been segmented into increasingly autonomous and fully autonomous. The fully autonomous segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR due to the increasing autonomy in aircraft and the move towards aircraft being fully autonomous in future. Currently, military UAVs already operate with fully autonomous capabilities. Current commercial aircraft are becoming increasingly autonomous due to the installation of autonomous components which have eased the workload of pilots. The goal of the industry is to make these commercial aircraft fully autonomous as well as introduce new passenger and personal air vehicles along with commercial delivery drones that will be fully autonomous.
