2 MARKET OVERVIEW 2.1 Definitions Commercial drones are the unmanned air vehicles also called as flying robots that are operated with the help of remote controls. Initially, drones were used for defense and military purposes only. Currently, drones are being used across various commercial applications such as mining, agriculture and infrastructure. Growing demand for drones by commercial applications and advancement in drone technology is anticipated to propel the market in coming years. However, the commercial drone industry is still facing issues such as security and safety concerns, scarcity of trained pilots and air traffic management which are
E
expected to be solved over the time. Apart from experimental and recreational applications, drones have entered into
PL
several applications owing to the formulation of user-friendly regulatory framework across national and international regulatory bodies and adoption of drone-powered solutions by various industries. Furthermore, technological development is
M
anticipated to be the most prominent driving factor for commercial drone market. Some of the advanced technologies used in commercial drones are cyber-security
SA
and jamming, energy and propulsion systems, collision avoidance, safety, radio frequency spectrum capacity, and many other. The commercial drones are gaining huge popularity across the globe. For instance, in Americas, drones are widely used for rescue operations during crises, disaster response and reconstruction. Though there are stringent rules and regulation regarding the usage of commercial drones, the progressing regulation for drones by FAA would further help to expand the commercial drone market in Americas. Hardware, Software and Service By type, the global market is divided into three types of markets as hardware, software and services. The hardware market is further categorized on the basis of drone types. Types of drones taken in hardware market are fixed wing, rotary wing, hybrid, and nano drone. Additionally, software segment is traced from various solutions such as data management, analytics, imaging, and some others. Services
