Growing Demand in Delivering Packages Drives the Market Growth

Global manufacturers of drone technology have made serious efforts to enhance the package delivering technologies in recent past few years. A large number of drone package delivering startups have been emerging online. The future holds the option of receiving packages from drones for consumers. Amazon is one of the companies leading the way in making this possible. For instance, its new Amazon Prime Air service will reportedly enable customers to order drone delivery for packages up to five pounds. The package will be delivered through drone that is sent to the customer's location, which can be tracked by the customers using smartphone. As the drone arrives, the customer will make use of their phone to flash barcode, QR code, or LED signal to the drone to confirm that the drone partner is indeed the right customer. The package is then dropped from a safe distance with the help of a pulley system and is let go to the customer.

Growing Application of Drones in Military & Defense Sector

The increasing use of drones in various end use sectors such as military & defense and event industry is the key driver anticipated to support the global drone market growth in the next few years. Moreover, use of the Artificial Intelligence and machine learning technologies within the drone system for diverse operational applications is another significant driver expected to spur the market growth by 2027. Drones are increasingly becoming a standard component in military utilization, particularly surveillance, and the list of defense utilization keeps expanding as technology advances. Development pace of drones is constantly rising, led primarily by geopolitical issues. Drones are mainly employed to carry out intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) operations along international borders. Military drones are being designed for a variety of applications including electronic attacks (EA), strike mission, suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), network nodes, communication relay, and combat search and rescue (CSAR). Drone technology will be taken up at a high rate in industrial applications in the following areasaerial monitoring and inspection; payload transport; media and entertainment; and security. All these uses involve the incorporation of technologies including 3-Dimensional, artificial intelligence, laser technologies, machine learning, acoustics, augmented reality (AR), computer vision, and cognitive tools.
