This research study involved the substantial use of secondary sources, directories, and databases, such as D&B Hoovers, Bloomberg Businessweek, and Factiva, to identify and collect information on the military robots market. Primary sources included experts from core and related industries, suppliers, manufacturers, solution providers, technology developers, alliances, and organizations related to all segments of the industry’s value chain. All primary sources were interviewed to obtain and verify critical qualitative and quantitative information as well as assess prospects for the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Secondary Research
The market size of companies offering military robots was arrived at based on the secondary data available through paid and unpaid sources, as well as by analyzing the product portfolios of major companies and rating them based on their performance and quality.
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources were referred to identify and collect information for this study. These included government sources; corporate filings such as annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations; white papers, journals, and certified publications; and articles by recognized authors, directories, and databases.
Secondary research was mainly used to obtain key information about the industry’s value and supply chain and identify the key players by various products, market classifications, and segmentation according to their offerings and industry trends related to the solution, end user, installation, and region, and key developments from both the market and technology-oriented perspectives.
Primary Research
In the primary research process, various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information on the market. Primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts, such as vice presidents (VPs), directors from business development, marketing, product development/innovation teams, and related key executives from components vendors, and key opinion leaders.
Primary interviews were conducted to gather insights such as market statistics, data on revenue collected from products, market breakdowns, market size estimations, market forecasting, and data triangulation. Primary research also helped us understand the various trends in the market.

Market Definition
A robot is a machine designed to carry out several tasks by sensing, analyzing in a deliberative and nonmechanical way, and acting according to the requirements. In the military, robots are used for various functions, including warfare, picking and placing objects, firefighting, and detecting metal. Military robots can be operated semi- or fully autonomously and do not depend entirely on humans for control. For example, teleoperated drones, such as the US Air Force Predator, are unmanned aerial vehicles that make most decisions independently. Military robots can be expendable or recoverable and are designed to carry a lethal or a non-lethal payload.
The military robots market is a dynamic segment of the defense industry focused on production, and deployment of robotic systems designed to enhance operational capabilities across land, air, and maritime domains. These systems leverage advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, autonomous navigation, and state-of-the-art sensors to support mission-critical applications, including surveillance, reconnaissance, logistics, and combat operations. Driven by increasing defense budgets, technological advancements, and the need to minimize human risk in high-stakes environments, this market represents a significant area of innovation and strategic investment for military modernization initiatives worldwide.

I am doing a landscape analysis in the robotics sector to establish a business case in my job. I need estimates of the robot market, both past and future, especially for MENA region. If MENA is not there, it is fine to have others and I will make assumptions. Regards.
