  • Latest News- UAV Market: Rotary wing is expected to lead the Type segment during 2025-2029

    The UAV Market is being driven by Increasing defense spending on unmanned technologies

    The UAV Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.1% during 2024 and 2029. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 37528.3 million. UAV manufacturers are increasingly exploring alternative propulsion technologies to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Hydrogen fuel cells have emerged as a popular alternative to lithium-ion batteries in mid-to large-scale UAVs due to their superior power-to-weight ratio. Fuel cells offer significant value by providing more reliable power sources than small combustion engines, leading to safer and low-maintenance operations. These systems enable UAVs to operate longer than battery-powered systems while maintaining the same thermal and noise benefits. The adoption of fuel cell technology in UAVs is expected to grow rapidly, offering a promising solution to the industry's sustainability concerns.
