Europe Small UAV Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2022 - 2030)
The Europe small uav market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 12.07% over the forecast period 2018 - 2023. Small UAV market is likely to be one of the major game changers of modern technological era. With its wide range of applications it is likely to have a high adoption rate with enterprises across different industries investing in these products.
INCREASING USAGE BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
Around the world, the law enforcement agencies have been striving to become organizations where the mortality rates of both the perpetrator and protector come down. That is one of the reasons why there has been a tremendous rise in the non-lethal weapons market globally, especially in the West.
Europe witnessed a surge in crime and terrorist-related activities, where the danger to the life of law enforcement personnel is immense. To make Law Enforcement more efficient, European nations are taking various steps to augment their forces. 1/4th of the British Law Enforcement agencies are actively making plans to put Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to regular use. The authorities have already completed trials in the counties of Sussex and Surrey, and the consensus among agencies is that small UAVs can be a useful tool for police work. Since the UK is one of the biggest markets for small UAVs in Europe, this development is a very positive sign for the small UAV market.
In other nations also, particularly in Germany, France and Belgium, which have been affected by the recent upsurge in terrorism, there has been a significant rise in interests from police agencies for the use of small UAVs. A case in point is the German UAV manufacturer AirRobot, which has seen a substantial upsurge in the demand and interest from Law Enforcement agencies, for its range of surveillance drones. RAID, the elite counter-terrorism unit of the French National Police, has signed an agreement with AeraAccess to produce anti-terrorism drones, which can be fitted with a weapons payload of up to 2 kg. Belgian National Police has started to employ the services of small UAVs to patrol the Limburg area in Eastern Belgium.
SECURITY ISSUES
Globally, there has been intense public opposition to the increasing militarization of the law enforcement agencies. The agencies are increasingly sporting military equipment on the homeland and using this equipment against the citizens. Use of small UAVs by these agencies and other departments have specifically caused much anger amongst the general public.
A case in point is the UK incident, where UAVs were spotted hovering over playgrounds in Liverpool. This incident caused grave concern amongst the residents of the area. There is a particular concern among the general public that UAV’S are used to spy on them, which is a common point heard across the globe. The extensive use of drones over the homeland requires broad legislation and lobbying. Cases involving weak civilian support make these programs unsuccessful, despite their comprehensive benefits.
Public sentiment against the use of drones remains one of the most severe limitations against the growth of the small UAV market. Public feeling against the use of drones in the homeland is more severe in North America than in Europe. The recent change in the security situation of the continent enabled the public to give law enforcement agencies more support for the use of drones. However, the use of drones by public and private authorities, apart from those agencies, is still opposed by the general public, which remains a challenge for small UAV market and this needs a constant public relation and confidence-building activities if the general public is ready to accept.
