Market Overview

An airship is a power-driven aircraft lighter than a conventional aircraft. The market has observed a shift from conventional single-gas bag and helium, which is most commonly used in airship as the gas is extensively used for filling balloons as it is a much safer gas than hydrogen. They are majorly used for reconnaissance and surveillance, communication, law enforcement, weather forecasting, and coast guarding.  low maintenance cost and can monitor large areas by staying in the air for long periods; thus, they are adopted on a large-scale in military applications.

The global airship market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, owing to increasing cross-border warfare and political instability around the globe. Furthermore, increasing incidents of terror attacks and internal political instability around the globe have created a need for superior intelligence, surveillance, and precision attacks, which is expected to augment the demand for the market. Key players are investing in R&D to offer next-generation airship capable of encountering increasingly sophisticated threats from enemy countries at relatively low costs.

The global airship market was valued at USD 550 million in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 2,150 by 2030 with an anticipated CAGR of 16.5% during the forecast period, 2023–2031.
