The global military robots market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period. Military robots are autonomous robots or remote-controlled mobile robots designed for several military applications such as transport to search & rescue and attack. The players are focusing on developing smaller and more capable military robots which are expected to create new growth opportunities for the market during the forecast period. For instance, in October 2020, One “microsystems collaborative” already released Octoroach, an “extremely small robot with a camera and radio transmitter that can cover up to 100 meters on the ground”. It is only one of many “biomimetic”, or nature-imitating, weapons that are on the horizon.
Segmental Outlook
The global military robots market is segmented based on the type, mode of operation, and application. Based on the type, the market is segmented into land, marine, and airborne. Based on the mode of operation, the market is bifurcated into human-operated and autonomous. Based on the application, the market is augmented into mine clearance, firefighting, search & rescue, transportation, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, combat support, explosive ordnance disposal, and others. Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance are expected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. An accurate and secure surveillance system is highly crucial for the betterment of citizens. The ground-based systems leverage surveillance robots with sufficient weapons and hi-sensor cameras. These cameras with infrared or night vision assist to observe the entire building and area of the military and defense without sending in soldiers.
The Marine Segment is Expected to Hold a Considerable Share of the Global Military Robots Market
Among the type segment, the marine segment is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. This enhanced robotics technology supports multiple different activities underwater such as detecting and inspecting underwater mines, working on anti-submarine operations, protecting navy ships in harbors, and many more. The Marines are experimenting with networks of supply robots, mini-drones, and stationary sensors. For instance, in July 2020, at Robotic Research’s Maryland test site, an 8×8 ground robot, a MUTT set off with a pair of Pegasus mini-drones on its back. One Pegasus carried a sensor package: When needed, it took off from the MUTT and scouted ahead, reporting on part of the route that was out of sight around a corner. The second Pegasus carried a small but crucial resupply item, a battery, that it delivered to a different location than the MUTT’s main load, saving the ground vehicle a side trip and cutting delivery time.
Regional Outlooks
The global military robots market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). The market can be analyzed for a particular region or country level as per the requirement. The North American region is expected to hold a significant share in the market during the forecast period, due to the presence of several military developers coupled with a well-developed technological infrastructure in the region.
Global Military Robots Market Growth, by Region 2022-2028
The Asia-Pacific Region is Expected to be the Fastest-Growing Region in the Global Military Robots Market
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow at the fastest rate in the military robots market during the forecast period. The countries in the region are investing in developing and deploying military robots, which is considered to be the primary factor driving the market. According to the Indo-Pacific Defense Forum, the MND planned to spend $32 million to buy drones for military use in 2022, more than six times the 2021 amount. It also agreed to increase the budget for fast-trial acquisition from about $26 million in 2021 to nearly $53 million in 2022 to bring drone technology to market sooner. Moreover, the South Korean government has pledged hundreds of millions of dollars to grow the country’s robotics industry.
Market Players Outlook
The major companies serving the global military robots market include AeroVironment, Inc., BAE Systems Plc, Boston Dynamics, Inc., Clearpath Robotics Inc., Cobham Ltd., Elbit Systems Ltd., and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in September 2021, an Israeli military contractor built an armed, unmanned robot specifically designed to be deployed in many battle situations. The robot is semi-autonomous, with the ability to perform some operations on its own. It can also be guided by humans remotely through an electronic controller. Moreover, the robot can carry two machine guns and a series of cameras and sensors to support military activities. It was also designed with the ability to transport injured soldiers.
