The drone simulator market in Europe is projected to US$ 433.22 million by 2028 from US$ 172.62 million in 2021; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 14.0% from 2021 to 2028.
Since more than a decade, armed forces from several countries in Europe have been using drones. Ground troops are employing small drones regularly. Military spending on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is rising as a fraction of overall military spending, which is propelling the growth of specialist drone manufacturers and simulator software developers. Several drones are being developed specifically for surveillance purposes. Some drones, on the other hand, have been developed for vital missions, such as transporting weapons. Countries such as Germany and Russia utilize remotely controlled UAVs to carry weapons for defense forces. Furthermore, drones are employed as loitering weapons. Their intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities can be utilized in the collection of real-time data on ongoing and life-threatening military missions. Additionally, rise in investments in research and development related to military simulation is among the other factors expected to fuel the demand for drone simulator in Europe.
Based on simulator type, the Europe drone simulator market is segmented into fixed and portable. Fixed segment led the Europe drone simulator market in 2020. A drone simulator with a solid based is known as a fixed base simulator. The majority of drone simulators have a fixed base, as the procurement and operation costs are significantly lower than those of a full drone simulators. The fixed-base simulators, as well as replicas of certain drone types, are generic. For comprehensive training and data collection, companies provide an exclusive variety of fixed-base drone simulators. For instance, Israel Aerospace Industries offers drone simulators to the defense industry. A single simulator offered by the company can be used to teach both fixed and rotary wing drones. The firm is highly rated on the delivery and support parameters because the simulator allows superior drone training and assistance.
In Europe, the COVID-19 pandemic has had different impact on different countries, as only selective countries have witnessed the rise in the number of cases and subsequently attracted strict, as well as prolonged, lockdowns or social restrictions. However, Western European countries such as Germany, France, Russia, and the UK have seen a comparatively modest decrease in their growth activities because of their strong healthcare systems. These countries have been investing significantly in making the diagnosis and treatment of the disease more effective and less time-consuming. According to the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), military spending in in European countries is likely to decrease amid the global financial crisis caused by COVID-19. According to the CSIS, France, the UK, and Germany, together, account for a substantial share of the overall military budget of Europe, and these countries are likely to bring down their military budget allocations in 2021 due to macroeconomic situations. For instance, Germany has proposed cuts in defense spending from US$ 20.3 billion in 2020 to US$ 18.7 billion in 2024, which is likely to stymie military modernization and other armament programs. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the drone simulator industry in Europe is likely to struggle in the coming years.
