The study involved major activities in estimating the current market size for the anti-drone market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain using primary research. Different approaches, such as top-down and bottom-up, were employed to estimate the total market size. After that, the market breakup and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of the segments and subsegments of the anti-drone market.
Secondary Research
The secondary research for this study involved gathering information from various credible sources. These included company annual reports, investor presentations, press releases, whitepapers, certified publications, and articles from reputable associations and government publications. Additional data was obtained from corporate filings, professional and trade associations, journals, and industry-recognized authors. Research from consortia, councils, and gold- and silver-standard websites, directories, and databases also contributed to the qualitative framework. Key global sources, such as the International Trade Centre (ITC) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), were consulted to support and validate the market analysis.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research was conducted after understanding and analyzing the anti-drone market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with key opinion leaders from demand- and supply-side vendors across four major regions—Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, and RoW. Approximately 20% of the primary interviews were conducted with the demand side and 80% with the supply side. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, e-mails, and telephonic interviews. Various departments within organizations, such as sales, operations, and administration, were contacted to provide a holistic viewpoint in the report..

Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall size of the anti-drone market through the process explained above, the overall market has been split into several segments. Data triangulation procedures have been employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all the segments, wherever applicable. The data has been triangulated by studying various factors and trends from the demand and supply sides. The market has also been validated using top-down and bottom-up approaches.
Market Definition
An anti-drone system refers to a comprehensive set of technologies and solutions designed to detect, monitor, identify, and mitigate threats posed by unauthorized or hostile drones. These systems are increasingly essential as the use of drones grows across various sectors, raising concerns over security, privacy, and safety. Anti-drone technologies employ a combination of sensors such as radar, radio frequency (RF) detectors, electro-optical and infrared cameras, and acoustic sensors to detect and track drones in real time accurately. Once detected, these systems can neutralize the threat through various disruption methods, including RF jamming, GPS spoofing, directed energy weapons such as lasers, or physical interception. Anti-drone solutions safeguard critical infrastructure, military installations, airports, public gatherings, and sensitive government or commercial sites from potential risks, such as espionage, smuggling, sabotage, or attacks.
