The global unmanned composites market is estimated to reach USD 5.53 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 15.8% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The unique blend of lightweight and high-strength properties found in carbon and glass fiber composites is the major factor contributing to the market's growth. These materials are pivotal in reducing the overall weight of unmanned aerial vehicles while preserving structural integrity, directly enhancing flight efficiency and payload capacity.
Unmanned composites are advanced multi-component materials, usually combining fibers like carbon or glass with a polymer matrix, specifically engineered for use in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones. These composites offer superior strength-to-weight ratios, corrosion resistance, and durability, enabling lighter, more efficient, and robust UAV structures for various applications.
The market's growth is further propelled by the increasing adoption of drones and UAVs in commercial applications, including delivery services and filmmaking. The expansion of e-commerce and the demand for rapid, on-demand delivery drive the need for efficient UAVs. For instance, in April 2024, Zipline achieved its one millionth commercial autonomous drone delivery and expanded U.S. services to partners like Panera Bread, Memorial Hermann, and Jet's Pizza, showcasing the vital role of advanced unmanned composites in enabling large-scale, efficient drone logistics.
