Middle East and Africa Unmanned Ground Vehicle Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

An unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) is a land-based machine that operates without the presence of a human operator on board. It is outfitted with sensors that allow it to observe the environment and either send information to the operator or make an autonomous decision. It can also move independently to collect data and avoid obstacles. UGVs are primarily used in the military for a variety of purposes, including obstacle avoidance, discovery, identification, warning, confinement, and threat destruction, as well as in commercial areas such as agriculture, construction, transportation, and mining.

Drivers

• Expansion of armed drones Turkey

Turkey is expanding its arsenal of lethal armed drones, which range from high-flying, large, bomb-laden drones to very low-flying, small unmanned aerial vehicles capable of forming lethal swarms. In recent years, Turkish-built Anka-S and Bayraktar TB2 drones have proven their worth in combat operations in Iraq, Syria, and even Libya. The Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) will receive the next-generation Anka UAVs in June 2021. It is based on the unmanned combat aerial vehicle Anka-S. (UCAV). This is channelling Turkey's market growth.

• Development of aerial and astronautic system in Israel

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is the country's leading aerospace and Aviation Company, producing aerial and astronautic systems for both military and civilian applications. The Israeli government owns it entirely. In addition to fighter aircraft development, the company also designs and manufactures drones and civil aircraft. It also develops avionics and constructs missile and space-based systems. The company mainly offers space systems, which include satellite launchers, satellites attitude control, subsystems & components, communication & observation satellites, command & control stations, and other solutions, unmanned air systems, UAS maritime solutions, training solutions, terrain dominance solutions, and inertial systems.

Opportunities

• Increased defence budgets

In the forecast period of 2022 to 2029, the development of fully autonomous UGVs provides profitable opportunities to market participants. Increased defence budgets for unmanned systems in various countries will also help to expand the market.

Restraints

• Lack of advance visual capabilities

The need to develop sophisticated and highly reliable UGVs, as well as a lack of advanced visual capabilities in UGVs, are expected to stymie market growth. In addition, the need for continuous and uninterrupted power supply in UGVs, as well as hardware and software malfunctions, are expected to pose challenges to the unmanned ground vehicle market during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact on Unmanned Ground Vehicle Market

The COVID-19 virus had a negative impact on the unmanned ground vehicle market due to strict lockdowns and social distancing to contain the virus's spread. Economic uncertainty, a partial business shutdown, and low consumer confidence all impacted demand for unmanned ground vehicles. During the pandemic, the supply chain was hampered, as were logistics activities. However, the automotive unmanned ground vehicle market is expected to regain its pace during the post pandemic scenario due to the easing on the restrictions.

Recent Developments

• In January 2020 ECA GROUP launched its new outdoor/indoor autonomous AGV for Industry 4.0 which simplifies logistics, optimises production, and reduces costs. The new product has improved the unmanned ground vehicle market's brand image, attracting more customers.
• In December 2019 Nexter group KNDS attended the Expodefensa for artillery and ammunition in defence and sector. The company has increased its brand value and recognition in the unmanned ground vehicle market, resulting in profit maximisation.
