Product Code: 115
The global commercial drone market is poised to garner considerable growth through 2032 owing to the surging investments in drone technology by venture capital firms.
The primary market strategies used by major firms are consistent product portfolio expansion and technical partnerships to grow market valuation. For instance, in February 2021, AeroVironment, Inc. bought UAS manufacturer Arcturus UAV, Inc. To broaden AeroVironment's product offering, the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) service of Arcturus integrated with the JUMP 20 and T-20 platforms. Through this acquisition, the business was able to provide customers around the world with a broad range of UAS that are sophisticated and multi-domain robotic systems.
The commercial drone industry has been divided in terms of type, mode of operation, application, and region.
Based on type, the hybrid drone segment is anticipated to receive more than 18% CAGR from 2023 to 2032 due to its wide use in the commercial drone sector because of its capability to take off vertically as well as take flight from any point like a helicopter.
With respect to mode of operation, the autonomous segment held over 15% market share in 2022 and is slated to propel steadily through the forecast period. This growth can be credited to the technological improvements and drone capabilities, such as the usage of thermal and hyperspectral sensors while in flight to capture and enjoy the immersive view from the drone.
In terms of application, the emergency management segment is speculated to surge significantly over the review timeframe since the use of civilian drones has begun to open the path for the victims to receive food and medical aid.
Meanwhile, the remote sensing & mapping segment is set to witness exponential market expansion by 2032 because of the increasing use of commercial drones for surveying and mapping, with imagery obtained from consumer drones assisting in a variety of applications such as urban modeling, vegetation structure mapping, as well as large-scale mapping.
From the regional outlook, the North America commercial drone market is estimated to exhibit 14% CAGR from 2023 to 2032 ascribed to the deployment of drones for civilian applications and related technological advancements. Federal government officials are concentrating on strengthening the legal framework governing the use of commercial drones.
On the other hand, the Middle East & Africa commercial drone industry is projected to amass decent gains over the analysis timeframe driven by the active use of drones for military objectives, together with inspection and aerial photography. The military organizations in MEA are concentrating on joint projects that will advance technology, thereby further aiding industry expansion.
