Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) Market by Regions:
The report estimates revenue growth at the worldwide, regional, and country levels and delivers an analysis of the recent industry trends in each sub-segment from 2017 to 2030.
North America dominated the global market in 2021 with a value of USD 1.02 billion in 2021 and is expected to hold the dominant position throughout the forecast period. The dominance of the region is attributed to the highest defense budget and rising spending on procurement of next-generation military robots for numerous applications. For example, in April 2021, the U.S. Army awarded FLIR Systems a $31.6 million contract to build the Man Transportable Robot System Increment II (MTRS Inc II). It detects, identifies, confirms and disposes of concealed explosives.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness the highest market growth throughout the forecast period. The dominance of the region is attributed to the highest defense budget and increasing spending on procurement of next-generation military robots for numerous applications. This increase is due to increased defense budgets in India and China. Moreover, rapid expansion of military power, rising political strife among neighboring countries, and rise in terrorism have led to growing demand for UGVs.
Europe also exhibits a significant growth rate over the forecast period. Its growth is attributed to increasing defense spending in countries such as the UK, Russia, Germany, France, and others. In August 2021, the Russian Ministry of Defense signed a contract for the prototype of the Shturm unmanned ground vehicle system based on the T-72 main battle tank (MBT).

Significant Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Using UGVs in combat situations can be critical. UGVs can perform multiple tasks in combat by attaching weapon systems as payloads, such as providing medical assistance, weapons, surveillance, tracking and actual combat. The application field of UGV has a wide range and is developing rapidly. This application area holds a considerable share of the overall UGV market as it covers some of the most important military operations. Therefore, the rapid development of this application area is expected to drive the growth of the unmanned ground vehicles market.
Opportunity:
Fully autonomous UGVs are the latest innovation in the unmanned ground vehicle market. Using AI and ML techniques, a fully autonomous UGV was developed designed to operate without any human interference. Autonomous UGVs are designed to complete any assigned task without any human assistance. Currently, these UGVs are used in applications such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and security operations. With the advancement of advanced research, the broadening of the application field of fully automatic UGV will propel the market upward.
Challenges:
UGVs are used in mission critical operations such as Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), where timely operation is critical. Since the entire operation is highly dependent on one UGV, these operations require an uninterrupted and reliable power source. Therefore, developing a power solution that is compact in size and highly reliable becomes a challenge.
