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 reliance on fossil fuels in their unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Hydrogen fuel cells have emerged as a popular alternative to lithium-ion batteries in mid-to large-scale UAVs. Fuel cells offer significant benefits, including improved reliability over small combustion engines, longer operational hours, and thermal and noise advantages. With a power-to-weight ratio that is rapidly increasing, fuel cells provide substantial value to UAV systems by enabling safe, low-maintenance operations. Commercial and military UAV manufacturers are experimenting with this technology to enhance the capabilities and efficiency of their fleets.
