Anti-Drone Market to Reach USD 14.51 Billion by 2030, Growing at 26.5%CAGR, Says MarketsandMarkets™

Delray Beach, FL, Aug. 17, 2026 -- The global anti-drone market is on track to nearly triple in size over the next five years, expanding from USD 4.48 billion in 2025 to USD 14.51 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.5%, according to a new report by MarketsandMarkets. Growth is being driven by a sharp rise in unauthorized drone sightings near airports, escalating security threats to military and government facilities, and the accelerating integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning into detection and tracking platforms. As drones become more accessible and capable, governments, defense agencies, airport operators, and critical-infrastructure owners are investing heavily in multi-layered counter-UAS (C-UAS) systems that combine radar, radio frequency (RF) sensing, electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) cameras, and neutralization technologies such as jamming, spoofing, and directed-energy weapons.
