WASHINGTON, Dec. 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) will be one of the most dynamic growth sectors of the world aerospace industry this decade, report Teal Group analysts in their latest market analysis.

Teal Group’s 2020/2021 market study estimates that UAV production will increase from current worldwide UAV production of $5.6 billion annually in 2020 to $14 billion in 2029, totaling $95.5 billion in the next ten years. Military UAV research spending would add another $64.5 billion over the decade. (For further details and study availability, contact the respective Teal sales representative in your area at http://www.tealgroup.com/).

«New technologies and increased trade are coming together to drive the UAV market growth,» said Philip Finnegan, Teal Group’s director of corporate analysis and an author of the study.  «The next generation of systems is being developed at a time when trade is growing thanks to liberalized US export rule, cheap Chinese exports and strong demand for armed UAVs.»

«The Teal Group study predicts that the US will account for 80% of total military worldwide RDT&E spending on UAV technology over the next decade and 40% of the military procurement,» said Teal Group senior analyst Steve Zaloga, another author of the study. Much of the US RDT&E is intended to develop the next generation of systems that can survive in contested airspace.

The latest edition of the sector study, World Military Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Systems, Market Profile and Forecast 2020/2021, examines the worldwide requirements for UAVs, including UAV payloads and companies, and provides ten-year forecasts by country, region, and classes of UAVs.  It incorporates the latest budget data worldwide, including the fiscal 2021 US defense budget.

The 2020-2021 study provides forecasts for a wide range of UAV payloads, including Electro-Optical/Infrared Sensors (EO/IR), Synthetic Aperture Radars (SARs), SIGINT and EW Systems, and C4I Systems, forecast to grow in overall value from $6.0 billion in FY20 to $8.5 billion in FY29. Following a funding downturn in recent years as several legacy endurance UAV sensor programs ended, Teal forecasts a near-term rise in the «default sensor» EO/IR market, from $1.8 billion in FY20 to $2.3 billion in FY24, but then a leveling off at about $2.4 billion per year for the rest of the decade, with growth led by modified U-2 sensors still likely to go aboard Global Hawk and by new production for classified UCAVs and mini/nano-UAVs.

The study breaks out billions of dollars of classified and future follow-on sensor programs with annual forecasts. Dr. David L. Rockwell, Teal’s lead electronics analyst, states «it is important to forecast these programs as they make up an increasing share of the available market, even though they are in no public DoD documents and are not monetized in any online sources.» He notes that «Detailed speculative ‘available’ forecasts – totaling almost $43 billion for payloads through FY29 – are intended to give early warning of programs that are not yet in DoD budgets or even under public discussion – to allow Teal’s clients to plan ahead before the RFPs are out.»

Along with EO/IR, comprehensive coverage of the many new programs in radio frequency (RF) markets is also included, with UAV radars forecast to grow from $1.6 billion in FY20 to $2.3 billion in FY29, and SIGINT and Electronic Attack (EA) markets to grow from $1.55 billion to $2.3 billion.

The 2020-2021 study also includes a UAV Manufacturers Market Overview that reflects the possible shakeup of leadership in the industry as multiple next generation systems are developed,» said Finnegan. «New players are emerging, and the leadership of some companies is being threatened.»

The study reflects the rapid growth of interest in the UAV business by covering approximately 60 U.S., European, Asia-Pacific, and Israeli companies, and reveals the fundamental reshaping of the industrial environment as UAV technology proliferates worldwide.

The Teal Group is an aerospace and defense market analysis firm based in Fairfax, Virginia USA.  It provides competitive intelligence to industry and government worldwide.

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Softwood lumber production in Europe has increased steadily increased over the past five years. Consequently, additional volumes of sawmill by-products, including wood chips, shavings, and sawdust, have become available to other sectors in the forest industry. The added wood fiber supply has predominantly benefitted pulpmills, manufacturers of wood-based panels, and wood pellet producers. Residual chips is typically a preferred lower-cost fiber furnish as compared to costlier small-diameter logs.

Over the past five years, the annual volume of residuals generated from Europe’s sawmills has increased to an estimated 17 million m³, resulting in increased chip trade on the continent, particularly in the northern region. Softwood chip trade around the Baltic Sea has gone up by over 80% from 2015 to 2020, with the major shipments being from Russia to Finland, from Norway to Sweden, and from the Baltic States to Denmark and Sweden.

WRI estimates that in 2020 almost 2.6 million m³ of wood chips will be imported by Finnish pulpmills, up from 1.4 million m3 five years earlier. This will make Finland, for the first time, the world’s largest importer of softwood chips – surpassing even Japan. Practically all Finland’s chip imports have been from Russia and the Baltic States, with the former accounting for the lion’s share of the supply. In the first seven months of 2020, Finnish wood chip importation from Russia was 33% higher than during the same period in 2019. According to the Wood Resource Quarterly, the average price for imported Russian wood has been relatively stable and is only slightly higher than the price for domestic pulplogs.  

In contrast to recent developments in Finland, wood chip imports to Sweden declined in 2020, ending a six-year upward trend. In 2019, Swedish chip imports reached an all-time high of 1.9 million m³. However, during the first seven months of 2020, import volumes from the major supplying countries of Norway, Estonia, and Latvia fell by 33%, and the total import volume for the year is on the path to be the lowest level in five years. The reduced demand for imported wood chips has resulted from both an increase in domestic residual supply from the sawmill sector and the large volumes of beetle-killed timber in the Central and Southern parts of Sweden, which are flooding the fiber market.
