The drones market size was estimated at USD 206 billion in 2019, which is expected to reach USD 47 billion by 2025, registering a CAGR of 15% during the forecast period (2020-2025). A drone is an uncrewed aerial vehicle without an onboard human pilot. A drone is an unmanned aircraft system that includes a ground-based controller, a UAV, and a network to communicate ground station and drone. The drones were initially viewed as military equipment; however, they have developed a significant market position across various industries over the years, such as construction, agriculture, offshore oil & gas refining, and cinematography, among others. Advancement in drone technology has enabled manufacturers to produce multiple models in different sizes, shapes, and weights, making them favored across all industries. Moreover, manufacturers are focused on developing lightweight, composite materials drones with high power storage cells and increasing the range of its operating radius.
The growing use of drones in military and defense forces as weapons loitering, in life-threatening operations, marine border patrols, and combat terrorism is one of the major driving forces of the global drones market. It is expected that continued industry growth and the emergence of technologically advanced products such as camera digitization, drone specifications, sensory applications, and mapping software will further fuel the growth of the drone market. Moreover, the increase in applications including but not limited to monitoring, surveying, precision farming, aerial remote sensing, and product distribution, and awareness is expected to boost the growth of the drone market during the forecast period.
Technological advances in the field of payloads for drones can increase opportunities for the global Drones market. The rising deployment of Drones for aerial remote sensing, last-mile delivery, and federal applications are pushing the global market towards expansion. Different companies compete to capture market shares and develop innovative technology-integrated drone hardware and software that minimize human intervention in applications, such as mining, construction, and aerial mapping.
One of the significant challenges faced by the global drones market is the limited qualified and trained workers to control drones. Restrictions on Drones' commercial use due to concerns related to the safety and security of masses and human privacy breaches. Lack of air traffic control and challenges of political and social acceptability are some other factors that will hamper the growth of the drones market.
The current situation owing to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic will encourage government institutions to invest in AI to facilitate various initiatives. Drones can come in handy as they can enter and reach remote areas to help and provide assistance. Using Artificial Intelligence can help to minimize operational costs while improving customer satisfaction. These technologies can also prove to be a beneficial tool for delivering aid, as they can help to prevent unnecessary travel.
