Unmanned Composite Materials Market Share by Manufacturers, Types and Current Scenario 2017-2022
The
global Unmanned Composite MaterialsMarket is segmented on the basis of material type, platform and geography. An
unmanned system is a remote or self-piloted machine equipped with all the
required sensors, data processing centers, automatic control and communication
systems. This system is capable of performing various operations such as
military missions, rescue or search missions, civilian surveillance and law
enforcement. Depending on their application, unmanned systems can be classified
into the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV), and
unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) categories. The prime objective behind
manufacturing them is to derive excellent mechanical properties, durability and
cost effectiveness with respect to manufacturing and maintenance, without any
added weight.

The
composite structure is a natural fit for an unmanned system on account of its
ability to impart properties such as strength and stiffness while
simultaneously reducing the system’s overall weight. A composite, as the name suggests,
essentially comprises two or possibly more distinct materials, one out of which
is a binding material (matrix) and the other a reinforcement material (fiber).
The former could be metallic, polymeric or ceramic while the fiber could be
made from carbon, glass, boron or aramid. The unmanned composite materials
market has been advancing over the years owing to the suitably lightweight
characteristics of composites. The increasing demand for lightweight and
electric conducive composites is a contributing factor.
Disruptive
technologies regarding UAV play a pivotal role in the future of aviation,
particularly in military applications. The UAV segment holds a significant
share in the unmanned system market owing to the increasing usage of target
drones, radar decoys, information, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft,
and combat aerial vehicles to support military and defense operations. This is
expected to fuel the demand for unmanned systems in the coming years. On the
basis of material type, the global unmanned composite materials market is
segmented into carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), glass fiber reinforced
polymer (GFRP), boron fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP), aramid fiber reinforced
polymer (AFRP) and so on.
The
segment “CFRP” is the primary composite used in the construction of unmanned
systems particularly UAV airframes. These composites consist of thermoset
resins which are cured when subjected to heating and used along with carbon
fiber as a structural component. They are much lighter than GFRP and stronger
than metals. On the basis of platform, the global unmanned composite materials
market is segmented into unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), unmanned underwater
vehicle (UUV), unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) and so on.
The
segment “umanned aerial vehicle (UAV)” is further segmented into target drones,
radar decoy, ISR, UCAV, commercial and so on. Similarly the segment “unmanned
underwater vehicle (UUV)” is classified into remotely-operated vehicle and
autonomous underwater vehicle and so on; whereas the segment “unmanned ground
vehicle (UGV)” is divided into tele-operated, tethered, semi-autonomous, and
fully autonomous and so on.

On
the basis of geography, the global unmanned composite materials market is
segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle
East & Africa. North America and the U.S. accounted for a dominant share in
the global unmanned composite materials market. Greater emphasis and subsequent
expenditure on defense systems by the U.S. government is projected to propel
the global unmanned composite materials market.
Based
on production, Europe leads the market due to the development of the dual-use
system for military and civilian applications driven by countries such as
France and Germany. Asia Pacific is estimated to exhibit major growth in the
coming year, owing to the rapidly increasing adoption of UAV aircrafts and
aerostat systems in China, India, South Korea and Southeast Asia. However, the
high costs involved in the manufacturing of unmanned systems may prove to be a
hindrance.
