Small UAV Market Size 2018 to 2021 by Global Key Players: AeroVironment, Elbit Systems, Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd., SAAB, Thales, Lockheed Martin, Aeronautics Limited, and Northrop Grumman

Market Highlights:

The global small UAV market is expected to reach billion by 2021, to grow at a CAGR of around 7%. Small UAVs can mainly be classified as mini-UAV and micro-UAV. They are small enough to be carried and operated by a single person. During military operations, they can be launched as a portable air-defense system by infantrymen. The development of small UAVs mainly began in 1997, with Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA's) multi-year USD 35 million project to develop micro air vehicles (MAVs).

Mini-UAVs, are larger than micro-UAVs but still compact, are used for military as well as civil-commercial applications. Bayraktar mini-UAV and Imperial Eagle are few of the examples of mini-UAVs mainly used for military applications. For commercial applications, mini-UAVs such as DJI Phantom have become quite popular.
