Dublin, June 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Autonomous Aircraft Market by Technology (Increasingly Autonomous, and Fully Autonomous), End Use (Commercial, Combat & ISR, Cargo, Passenger Air Vehicle, Personal Air Vehicle, Air Medical Services), Component, and Region - Global Forecast 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The autonomous aircraft market is estimated to be valued at USD 3.57 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 23.66 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 17.60%.

The increase in demand is attributed to the increased cost savings, reduction in human error due to increased autonomy, and advancements in artificial intelligence. Commercialization of fully autonomous passenger air travel is subject to regulations. There are several challenges vis--vis public acceptance, the passing of a regulatory framework, and infrastructure. However, some companies are working in conjunction with aviation authorities to build fully autonomous aircraft that can be integrated into the current ecosystem of increasingly autonomous aircraft along with required regulations and infrastructure.

Major players in the autonomous aircraft market are Boeing (US), Airbus (France), Lockheed Martin (US), Northrop Grumman (US), and Elbit Systems (Israel), among others. Along with these, there are a few startups in this market that are working on future concepts for fully autonomous passenger air travel. These major players have manufacturing facilities as well as strong distribution networks across key regions, such as North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
