The Europe defense drone antenna market is expected to grow from US$ 125.99 million in 2019 to US$ 223.33 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.9 % from 2020 to 2027.



The France, Germany, Italy, UK, Spain, and Switzerland are major economies in Europe. Increasing interest in circular omni directional antennas is expected to escalate the Europe defense drone antenna market growth. Military forces utilize unmanned technologies for purposes such as surveillance, communications, navigation, and signal intelligence (SIGINT). The military forces are continuously seeking advanced technologies with an objective to enhance the capabilities of the unmanned vehicles. The linear polarized omni directional antennas are among the preferred antenna technologies. However, the preference for circular polarized omni directional antennas is rising at an exponential rate. The modern-day military drones need to constantly move or maneuver to gather higher volumes of information; thus, sometimes they need to adopt acrobatic flying. The circular antennas are smaller, which offer added advantage for easy maneuverability. In addition to smaller antenna size, the ability to transmit the collected data at 360° is gathering interest of defense forces as well as the defense drone manufacturers. Moreover, the military forces demand exceptional quality of captured data and images among the military forces, and these antennas facilitate the transmission of high-quality images during the drone flight at close proximity of the target. Advantages of circular omni directional antennas such as high quality images, easy maneuverability, data collection at 360° view etc. is expected to increase its demand in coming years, which will drive the Europe defense drone antenna market.

Further, in case of COVID-19, Europe is highly affected specially the UK. The European defense contractors enjoy a significant number of contracts year on year from customer (military forces/governments) across the globe. The UK, Germany, and France have the highest density of defense contractors in the region. The COVID-19 outbreak has interrupted the manufacturing process and supply chain in these countries. Due to the massive outbreak and governmental regulations, the manufacturers are forced to operate with very limited personnel, which resulted in limited production of drones and its related components like antennas. Several European defense contractors are heavily dependent on the US, China, and Indian defense forces. The international supply chain disruptions coupled with lower military spending has been adversely affecting these European defense contractors’ businesses. The drone antenna manufacturers are also among the European defense equipment manufacturers to witness shock created by the COVID-19 crises.                    

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Europe defense drone antenna market. The Europe defense drone antenna market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
