The study involved four major activities in estimating the anti-drone market size. Exhaustive secondary research was conducted to collect information on the market, its peers, and its parent market. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the total market size. Market breakdown and data triangulation methods were also used to estimate the market for segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
Revenues of companies offering anti-drone systems have been obtained from secondary data from paid and unpaid sources. Revenues have also been derived by analyzing the product portfolio of key companies, which have been rated according to the performance and quality of their products.
In the secondary research process, various sources were used to identify and collect information on the anti-drone market for this study. Secondary sources for this research study include government sources, corporate filings, and trade, business, and professional associations. Secondary data has been collected and analyzed to arrive at the overall market size, which has been further validated through primary research.
Secondary research has been mainly used to obtain critical information about the supply chain of anti-drone systems to identify key players based on their products and prevailing industry trends in the anti-drone market by system type, vertical, application, and region. Secondary research also helped obtain market information- and technology-oriented critical developments undertaken by market players to expand their presence and increase their market share.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research has been conducted after understanding and analyzing the current scenario of the anti-drone market through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with the key opinion leaders from the demand and supply sides across four main regions—Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of Europe. Approximately 25% of the primary interviews were conducted with the demand-side respondents, while approximately 75% were conducted with the supply-side respondents. The primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephone interviews.
After interacting with industry experts, brief sessions were conducted with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primary. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the remainder of this report. The breakdown of primary respondents is as follows:

Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall market size—using the market size estimation processes as explained above—the market has been split into several segments and subsegments. To complete the entire market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and subsegment, data triangulation and market breakdown procedures have been employed, wherever applicable. The data has been triangulated by studying various factors and trends from the demand and supply sides in the anti-drone market.
Market Definition
Anti-drone systems, or counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS), are technologies designed to detect, track, identify, and neutralize unauthorized or potentially dangerous drones. Various countermeasures, such as radar, electro-optical (EO)/infrared (IR) sensors, jammers, lasers, and net launchers, are employed to protect sensitive areas from drone intrusions. These technologies are essential for safeguarding critical infrastructure, large public gatherings, and private properties from the potential dangers posed by rogue drones.
Effective anti-drone solutions combine detection, classification, and mitigation capabilities. Detection methods utilize radar, radio frequency (RF) scanning, and optical and acoustic sensors to locate drones in the area. After detection, the system classifies the UAV, differentiating between recreational, commercial, and potentially hostile drones. Once identified, appropriate measures can be taken to neutralize the threat.
