The Europe UAV battery market growth evaluation constitutes an in-depth study of the United Kingdom, Spain, Nordic Countries, Poland, Germany, France, Italy, Rest of Europe. The United Kingdom is considered one of the most lucrative nations for UAV investments. Moreover, it also has the potential to become a prominent nation for the development of next generation UAVs catering to numerous industry verticals, including homeland security, defense and security, commercial applications, and others. In 2019, the United Kingdom’s defense secretary agreed to fund a swarm drone project, expected to provide Britain’s armed forces with air defense capabilities. This factor is set to play an essential role in terms of creating a significant demand for UAV batteries, thus fueling its market growth in the United Kingdom.

On the other hand, more than 99% of German companies are small and medium enterprises. The introduction of UAVs among these small as well as medium-sized businesses has not only enhanced the state of the economy but also bolstered their productivity. Presently, Germany has a stable research and development expenditure, a key factor that influences investments in the UAV market, in addition to adjacent markets such as UAV batteries. The German Defense Ministry is also assuming the leadership role in developing a European drone, called the Medium Altitude Long Endurance Remotely Piloted aircraft system or MALE RPAS. Therefore, the abovementioned factors are anticipated to facilitate the UAV battery market growth in Europe over the forecasting years.

The Europe UAV battery market is segmented into end-user, battery type, and UAV type. The battery type segment includes lithium-based UAV battery, nickel-based UAV battery, and fuel cell. Li-Po and Li-Ion batteries are the most commonly used battery types in drones. Li-SOCl2 batteries provide a two-fold higher energy density per kilogram, as compared to other types. Conversely, while Li-Air batteries have an energy density of up to seven times higher, they are considerably more expensive and less common than Li-Ion as well as Li-Po batteries.

In addition to being more compact and lighter than other rechargeable batteries, Li-Ion batteries possess a high power and energy density per unit of battery mass. Other advantages include good energy efficiency, a relatively longer cycle life, and no memory effects. However, the price difference between these batteries and other battery types is a primary drawback.

Distinguished players operating in the Europe UAV battery market are Intelligent Energy, Thales Group, BAE Systems, etc.

Intelligent Energy, headquartered in the United Kingdom, is a fuel cell engineering business engaged in the development and commercialization of PEM fuel cell technology for numerous sectors. These include stationary electricity, automotive, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The company’s IE-Soar product line’s UAV Fuel Cell Modules operate on hydrogen and ambient air in order to generate DC power in lightweight packaging. This facilitates longer flight periods compared to battery systems.
