As the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations and Iran intensify their drone programs, a remarkable evolution is visible in the military unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) industry in the Middle East.
- The Middle East UAV industry, valued at USD 2.84 billion in 2023, is projected to reach USD 5.88 billion by 2033.
- Increasing budgets and a push to localize manufacturing, is allowing the Middle East to compete with US made drones and Israeli drones.
Simultaneously, India is carving its path in the military drone industry, marked by rapid advancements in technology and growing defense budgets.
- The drone market in India is projected to grow from USD 654 Million in 2024 to USD 1,437 Million by 2029.
- India is boosting its UAV industry with import bans, including Chinese parts, under the Make in India initiative, boosting indigenous manufacturing.
This dual trajectory of development in both the Middle East and India presents a unique landscape for investment and innovation.
