Report: Commercial Drone Market To Grow At CAGR 27% Till 2021

According to TechSci Research report, “Global Commercial Drone Market By Drone Type, By Application, By Region, Competition Forecast and Opportunities, 2011-2021“, rotary blade drone segment dominated the global commercial drone market in 2015, on account of its various technical features and benefits that enable these drones to perform intensely in photography and mapping, as well as the oil and gas sector and mining industry.

Moreover, continuing growth of the global mining market, which was valued at around USD1.5 trillion in 2015 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 7% during 2016-2021, is expected to further boost the prospects of commercial utilization of drones in the mining sector over the next five years. Rotary blade drones are designed to fly in all directions as well as hover at a fixed position. In 2015, these drone types accounted for a market share of over 75% in the global commercial drone market, due to their versatility and increasing application areas. Commercial drone market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 27% till 2021, with North America anticipated to continue its dominance as the largest commercial drone market through 2021.

Fix wing drone is the other major drone type, and these drones are being widely used in precision agriculture and aerial mapping. Precision farming utilizes several technological advancements such as geo location tracking, data management, and crop health analysis in order to ensure better productivity as compared to conventional farming methodology. Higher profitability and productivity, coupled with expanding global demand for crop yield are few of the factors poised to drive the global precision agriculture market at a CAGR of over 11% during 2016-2021, thereby propelling demand for drones used in the precision agriculture industry.

In 2016, the global commercial drone market is anticipated to witness commercialization of nano drones and hybrid drones, which would use fuel cell technology for increasing fly time. Several prominent drone manufacturing companies such as DJI, Parrot, 3D Robotics, PrecisionHawk, Trimble, AeroVironment, etc., intend to expand their production capacities considering the anticipated growth in the global commercial drone market over the next five years.
