The drone simulator market in North America is expected to reach US$ 535.17 million by 2028 from US$ 251.38 million in 2021; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.4% from 2021 to 2028.
Governments are cutting military spending due to the dwindling financial resources amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Defense ministries of many countries are cutting training expenditures and downscaling their forces. As a result, the military's attention has shifted toward finding less expensive and more effective solutions to their needs. Real-time training is time consuming and costly, and it also requires raw materials, such as gasoline and explosives, in huge quantities; moreover, it involves high level of danger. Therefore, military ministries are increasingly preferring virtual training and simulation-based games based on technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud computing. Military simulation and virtual training are becoming increasingly popular among military forces across the world because they are based on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components, and they help minimize training expenses. The simulators are made at a minimal cost of development. Drone simulations are currently being used to train future soldiers and represent a real-time scenario using realistic digital settings. Hence, increased investments in simulation software in the bid of restructuring and transforming military operations for betterment drive the growth of the drone simulator market. Additionally, rising need from pharmaceuticals industry is expected to fuel the demand for drone simulators in North America in the coming years.
Based on component, the North America drone simulator market is segmented into hardware and software. The hardware segment led the market in 2020. Hardware in the Loop (HIL) simulation is one of the techniques used for reducing the impact of control system failure in field trials. Sensors, actuators, processes, and autopilot hardware are the four primary components of the HIL simulator. The sensors in the airframe replicate the output data of the UAV sensor. The actuator mimics how the UAV autopilot hardware alters the plane's surface controls. The process entails creating an aircraft dynamics model that mimics how the airframe will react to the input provided by the UAV autopilot gear. The HIL simulation can be used to assess the longitudinal and lateral autopilot hardware dependability, and the overall system's closed-loop performance and controller parameter tuning.
North America is known for the highest rate of adoption of advanced technologies due to favorable government policies to boost innovation and strengthen infrastructure capabilities. As a result, any factor affecting performance of industries in the region hinders its economic growth. Currently, the US is the world's worst-affected country due to the COVID-19 outbreak, which has led governments to impose several limitations on industrial, commercial, and public activities in the country, to control the spread of infection. The leading the drone manufacturers and drone MRO service providers witnessed significant loss during the initial phases of the pandemic. The drone manufacturer's production volume decreased drastically. However, the governments of the US and Canada have maintained their defense spending levels. For instance, the defense spending in the US reached US$ 778 billion in 2020, with a yearly increase of 4.4%, which led several drone manufacturers, UGV manufacturers, and weapon and combat system manufacturers to expedite the procurement rate of simulation systems. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a nominal impact on the drone simulator market in North America.
