Middle East and Africa Border Security Market Developments and Forecast by 2028

The border security market in MEA is expected to grow from US$ 4002.34 million in 2021 to US$ 5838.15 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2021 to 2028.

The UAE, Saudi Arabia and South Africa are major economies in MEA. Increasing demand from unmanned vehicles are the major factor driving the growth of the MEA border security market. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), Unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV), and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) are being deployed across industries for a wide range of applications, such as mapping & surveying, aerial photography & videography, asset inspection, search & rescue operations, exploration & research, and emergency response. The advantage of using such vehicles during wars is to avoid humiliation in case the aircraft is shot down, and the pilot is captured. Further, the adoption of unmanned underwater vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and unmanned ground vehicles across defence industries is rising at an impressive pace and it is anticipated to drive the future demand of efficient and advanced long range obstacle detection and collision avoidance systems. The application of UUVs, UAVs and UGVs by defence forces and law enforcement agencies for applications such as search & rescue operations, crowd monitoring, site exploration, and location monitoring is further driving the demand for these vehicles across the world. Therefore, the growing demand for these vehicles across defence sectors is anticipated to boost the adoption for unmanned vehicles, which, in turn is expected to fuel the growth of the border security market during 2021–2028, which is further anticipated to drive the market in MEA.

The Border Security market in the Middle East and Africa is majorly affected by the disruption in the supply chain. Owing to the various containment measure initiated by the government, such as travel restrictions, factory shutdown, and lockdowns, the supply and distribution of defense equipment had been hampered. The countries in this region have over-dependence on oil revenue, and due to travel restrictions across the world there has been a drastic drop in the revenue collection for Middle Eastern countries. However, the continued presence of both US and Russian military forces in this region shows the persistent need for border security and other defense related solutions for markets in this region. Further, in critical focus areas of defense sector, such as air and missile defense, border security, cyber, etc., the constant need for technologically advanced products to ensure security of the nation will prove to be beneficial for the border security market. Hence, the estimated decline in MEA’s economic condition and impact of COVID-19 on growth of various industries in the region is expected to negatively impact the growth of border security market in 2020 and the market will gain traction during the second half of 2021
