Key Growth Drivers

The advancement of remote sensing and surveillance technologies, such as automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) is driving the demand for commercial drones.
Favorable government guidelines regarding the use of drones in a number of industries, notably in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic also accelerating the growth of the Global Commercial Drones Market.
Higher costs associated with drones, and the lack of farmers' awareness regarding farming technologies are the challenges to the growth of the commercial drone market.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has initially disrupted the supply side of commercial drones, but demand has increased significantly later on due to labor shortages across countries.

Key Trends by Market Segment

By Type:  The Rotary segment held the largest market share of the Global Commercial Drones Market in 2021.

The growth is mainly attributed to the fact that rotary drones are highly adopted and most commonly used across industries due to a number of benefits, including greater versatility, which allows them to fly in areas other drones cannot, stay in a stationary position, and provide vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) functionality.
They also have increased payload capacity, allowing them to carry far more payload than fixed-wing, and hybrid drones.

By Mode of Operation: The Remotely Operated segment held the largest market share of the Global Commercial Drones Market in 2021.

The growth is mainly attributed to its popularity and frequent use, as most individuals are not keen to adopt high-tech mechanisms.
However, as people are becoming aware of advanced technologies, they are opting for hi-tech drones, resulting in increased market growth for autonomous and semi-autonomous drones.

By Application: The Filming & Photography segment held the largest market share of the Global Commercial Drones Market in 2021, owing to the advent of digitalization in photography and the utilization of new technology.

Aerial photography was previously done using hot-air balloons, airplanes, kites, helicopters, and more. Nowadays, drones are increasingly popular for aerial photography as they are simpler to use and much more cost-effective than renting a helicopter and provide high-quality images and videos from expansive angles.
Furthermore, drones' associated advanced features, such as computer-assisted smart shots and smart management systems, are also boosting the demand for drones in film industry as well.

By Geography: North America accounted for the largest market share in the global Commercial Drones market in 2021.

Increased government expenditure to support the expansion of UAVs/drones is fueling the region's market growth.
For instance, according to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a U.S. government agency, 865,505 drones were registered in the United States in May 2022, with 314,689 of them being commercial drones.
In July 2020, the United States Department of Defense (DoD) awarded five companies contracts totaling US$ 13.4 million to support the domestic small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) industrial base.
Furthermore, rising UAVs demand for aerial photography, surveillance, and monitoring activities, along with the presence of well-established market players in countries such as USA and Canada, are also propelling the regional market growth.

For instance, in February 2022, according to Al-Monitor, a U.S.-based online news portal, the U.S. Navy and security partners will patrol Middle Eastern seas with 100 drones by 2023 to improve defenses against illicit activities.
