Market Report I 2025-05-28 I 105 Pages I EMR Inc.
The Europe unmanned aerial vehicle market size reached USD 9.32 Billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.32% between 2025 and 2034, reaching USD 17.20 Billion by 2034.
Europe Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Market Growth
Remote sensing technology is boosting the Europe unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market due to automation across industries and advancements in technology like fertiliser spraying, site inspection, etc.
With advancements in remote sensing technology UAVs come as the best option for aerial surveillance. Now UAVs are integrated with cutting-edge sensors which make them suitable for application across various industries. In agriculture, drones are equipped with multispectral cameras which can detect crop health, monitor irrigation efficiency, and even able to detect pests and diseases with unparalleled precision. With the ability to collect data efficiently, UAVs are becoming widely popular for remote sensing applications.
In October 2023, Amazon unveiled its plan to launch drone-based delivery in the UK and Italy by the end of 2024. These drones will deliver packages weighing up to five pounds in less than one hour. Also, Amazon launched its MK30 drone designs, which are quite different, smaller, and lighter than the previous models. This will allow them to provide one-day delivery with integration into some of our fulfilment centres.
With improvements in designs, UAVs nowadays are used for product delivery services. With fewer human interactions, companies in logistics and transportation are looking forward to exploring this opportunity, as these UAVs are capable of anonymously transporting small packages, medical supplies, and even food to remote locations without any hassle, providing a cost-effective solution to the logistics industry.
