Report Outlook

The global commercial UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) market was valued at USD 13.46 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 57.3% during the forecast period. Commercial UAV is an autonomous or remotely piloted aircraft used for applications in the commercial sector.

Commercial unmanned aerial vehicles are used in various industries such as agriculture, mining, security and law enforcement, media & entertainment, and energy & public utilities, among others. Insurance companies use unmanned aerial vehicles to inspect damaged assets, while farmers use UAVs to monitor crops and collect soil data.

The different types of commercial unmanned aerial vehicles include rotary UAV, fixed-wing UAV, and others. Rotary drones are used in real estate, journalism, agriculture, and deliveries among other applications. However, these unmanned aerial vehicles offer slower speeds and shorter-range as compared to fixed-wing models. Fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles are used for surveys, maintenance operations, long-range sensing, and aerial photography owing to their capability to fly longer hours at decent speeds.

The growing applications of commercial unmanned aerial vehicles in various industries, rising demand of location-based services, and increasing penetration of mobile devices drive the growth of the market. Technological advancements in components such as cameras, mapping software, and others are expected to further support commercial UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) market growth.

Technological advancement in terms of miniaturization and improvement of components has encouraged established organizations, and small and medium enterprises to invest in commercial unmanned aerial vehicles. Other factors driving the market include increasing demand from diverse industries such as agriculture, energy and utilities, and media & entertainment, and increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles in high-risk and dangerous tasks.

However, security and privacy concerns are expected to hamper market growth during the forecast period. Growing demand from emerging economies and increasing awareness are factors expected to provide numerous growth opportunities for the commercial UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) market in the coming years.
