Segmental Analysis

The Global Unattended Ground Sensors Market has been segmented based on Sensor Type, Deployment, and End User.

Based on sensor type, the unattended ground sensors market has been segmented into seismic, acoustic, magnetic, and infrared. The seismic segment dominated the market with a valuation of USD 198.8 Million in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 265.4 Million by 2025. A seismic sensor can detect and classify intruders on foot and vehicles. This sensor also provides a dynamic physical variable related to the movement. The acoustic segment is expected to register the highest CAGR of 5.55% during the forecast period.

On the basis of deployment, the global unattended ground sensors market has been classified as air-delivered and hand-emplaced. The hand-emplaced segment led the market with a value of USD 303.9 million in 2018. These sensors are largely used as an intrusion detection system for government facilities, military bases, and commercial facilities. Hand-emplaced sensors can be buried or hidden around such facilities. The air-delivered segment is expected to exhibit a higher CAGR of 5.95% during the forecast period.

By the end-user, the global unattended ground sensors market has been divided into security and critical infrastructure. The security segment was larger with a value of USD 332.1 Million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 448.7 Million by 2025. This growth can be attributed to the increasing use of UGS for military and public security applications. The critical infrastructure segment is expected to register a higher CAGR of 6.55% during the forecast period.
