Rising technological advancements in anti-drones is driving market growth, with a trend towards growing use of uavs in commercial and hobbyist activities. However, incidence of technological limitations and prevalence of regulatory challenges poses a challenge. The global anti-drone market size is estimated to grow by USD 12.23 billion from 2025-2029, according to Technavio. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of about 42.8% during the forecast period. 

The Anti-Drone market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing number of drone activities that threaten public safety and security. Innovations in drone software and machine learning are key trends in the industry, enabling organizations to detect and identify unauthorized drone flights through real-time behavior analysis and pattern recognition. Anti-drone solutions are being installed at airports, military bases, and other sensitive areas to protect against potential drone incursions.

These systems use diverse capabilities such as laser mechanisms, drone radar, and AI to detect and disable drones. Regulations are a major focus in the anti-drone industry, with governments investing in comprehensive counter-drone frameworks to ensure the safety of aviation and military infrastructure.

Defense tech companies are developing multi-layered anti-drone systems that can detect, identify, and disable drones using jamming, net-based systems, and audio recognition. The anti-drone industry is not limited to military applications. Private organizations are also investing in anti-drone technology to protect their assets from drone attacks. The development of C-UAS technology is a priority for defense budgets, with research and development in the field advancing rapidly. Insurgent groups and armed forces are using drones for reconnaissance and attacks, making anti-drone technology essential for defense and security agencies.
