The global commercial drone market size is anticipated to reach USD 501.4 billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 57.5% from 2021 to 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising demand for commercial drones can be attributed to the growing application base across a wide range of end-use verticals, including real estate and construction, media and entertainment, and agriculture. Majority of the end-use verticals that involve a high proportion of operational processes are expected to experience substantial productivity gains from drone usage owing to the automation of business operations.
UAVs or drones are reinventing old businesses and even creating new prospects. In 2016, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released regulations related to the usage of commercial drones that clarified the legal landscape for businesses and workers. Since then, the industrial applications of commercial drones have significantly increased. Drones are expected to emerge as versatile tools, which can transform existing business operations and help to establish new startups.
The prominent industry players are involved in the manufacturing as well as supply of accessories required for drone operation. Additionally, they provide applications for Android/iOS-based smartphones and tablets to efficiently operate and maneuver drones during flight. These manufacturers offer drones for various verticals, such as security & law enforcement, energy, agriculture, retail, media, and entertainment.
