1. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Manufacturing in the US
2023-2024 Revenue Growth: 44.7%
The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Manufacturing industry has declined slightly, contending with government budget cuts. Industry companies produce and develop UAVs, or drones, which are remotely piloted or autonomously operated aircraft. Since most demand for drones comes from the US military, a decline in defense funding for UAVs has led the industry to decline, despite expected increased civil demand. Demand for new UAVs fell as the industry has supplied the military with an enormous fleet over the past decade. Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 1.4% to an estimated $4.5 billion over the five years to 2023, including... Learn More

9. International Airlines in the US
2023-2024 Revenue Growth: 24.9%
Demand for the International Airlines industry has experienced significant volatility over the past five years. During the beginning of the current period, mounting competition from foreign competitors and chronic overcapacity within the industry's cargo transportation segment forced industry operators to slash ticket prices and reduce freight shipping rates, causing industry revenue to decline. Unprecedented disruption from the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic generated the most substantial revenue decline in industry history. As global economies and health recover, pent-up consumer demand is anticipated to drive industry recovery toward the end of the period. Overall, industry revenue has decreased at a CAGR of 0.5%...

10. Tour Operators in the US
2023-2024 Revenue Growth: 24.4%
Tour operators encountered growth over most of the five years to 2023 and immense volatility in recent years. The industry is highly susceptible to geopolitical and global health events, which can dampen demand for tour packages in specific countries or regions. The pandemic led to mandatory government lockdowns and travel restrictions to curb the spread of the virus. This resulted in consumer confidence declining severely and inbound trips by non-US residents and domestic trips by US residents to plunge, causing revenue to plummet.
Operators have encountered intensifying competition from mobile apps and websites that assist consumers in finding lower travel... Learn More
