Unmanned Ground Vehicles Market size was valued at USD 2,893.4 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2024 to 2030. An unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) is a vehicle that operates while in contact with the ground and without an onboard human presence. UGVs can be used for various applications where it may be inconvenient, dangerous, or impossible to have a human operator present. Generally, the vehicle will have a set of sensors to observe the environment, and will either autonomously make decisions about its behavior or pass the information to a human operator at a different location who will control the vehicle through teleoperation.
The biggest and most apparent benefit of a UGV is that it is much safer in risky situations. It helps in countering the threats from Explosive Ordnance which includes improvised explosive devices, and landmines, reconnaissance work, search and rescue missions, monitoring buildings, and infrastructures, border surveillance, and goods transport. Growing demand for autonomous tractors systems for commercial and defense applications, reduction in risk of human life, the increasing demand for civilian applications including home usage and rescue operations, and various military applications are driving the global unmanned ground vehicle market growth. Moreover, the introduction of new technologies such as Artificial Technology (AI) is increasing vehicle performance and efficiency. Global key players are focusing on developing advanced vehicles for efficient and reliable operation. However, the reduction in military spending in the research and development sector, restricted battery life issues, and bandwidth issues are hampering the global unmanned ground vehicles market growth.
