Segments - UAV Parachute Market by Product Types (Fixed-Wing UAVs and Rotary-Wing UAVs), Applications (Military and Commercial), and Regions (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 – 2031
The Global UAV Parachute Market size was valued at USD 8.41 Million in 2022 and is expected to surpass USD 43.72 Million by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 20.1% during the forecast period, 2023 – 2031. UAV parachute recovery systems are small devices with a carbon dioxide base and a parachute canister system that is utilized for recovery and rescue. In UAVs, emergency parachutes are a critical instrument to save fatalities and damage in the event of an aircraft failure. This is done by deploying a drone-mounted parachute system, which ejects a parachute during the fall to protect the UAV's landing.
Parachute recovery is particularly well suited to strategic fixed-wing UAV systems that require a high level of dexterity by allowing air vehicle recovery onto the unprepared ground. During an attack, the communication system of the drone is damaged or equipment is lost, making it impossible to activate the parachute recovery mechanism of the drone.
The market is growing, due to advancements in UAV technology with a cutting-edge set of features and a growing number of applications such as remote sensing, product delivery, recreational use, and disaster relief.
The global UAV re market is expected to expand, due to increasing initiatives to provide widespread information for disaster assistance.
Increased defense sector investment in UAVs to prevent soldier fatalities is driving the global UAV parachute market.
One of the major restraints on the global UAV parachute market is security concerns. UAVs are wireless, hence they are vulnerable to being hacked remotely by enemies.
Increased drone policies and rigorous airspace regulations by various countries are projected to hamper the growth of the market.
Private and government organizations that use cutting-edge technology tools for modern agriculture are expected to offer growth prospects in the market in the forecast period.

On the basis of product types, the global UAV parachute market is divided into fixed-wing UAVs and rotary-wing UAVs. In 2019, the rotary-wing UAVs segment held a substantial share of the market. This trend is projected to continue during the forecast period, due to the deployment of numerous rotor wings with a single central body. This gives additional benefits such as maneuverability, path control, compactness, and ease of usage.
These advantages make rotary-wing UAVs ideal for commercial applications such as aerial photography, leisure, agriculture, and aerial inspection. A minimum of four rotors and a maximum of eight rotors are allowed in rotary-wing UAVs. During the projected period, these attributes are expected to propel the rotary-wing UAVs segment.
In terms of applications, the market is divided into military and commercial. The military category accounted for the largest share of the global UAV parachute market, as UAVs reduce operational disruptions.
The commercial segment is anticipated to drive the market over the forecast period, due to several commercial applications such as crop health monitoring, epidemic control, identification and barring of trespassers, healthcare delivery, product delivery, and remote sensing.
Based on regions, the global UAV parachute market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. In 2019, Europe was a significant region in the market. Advancement of drone technology in Germany, the UK, and France for surveying, mapping, photography, cinematography, and inspection leads to the growth of the market in the region.
Asia Pacific is expected to be a significant region in the market over the projection period, due to increased adoption of advanced technology in UAVs by countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India.
