Increasing Demand for Faster Delivery Augmenting Market Growth

The rising demand for faster delivery currently represents one of the primary drivers resulting in the increasing utilization of drone package delivery. Last-mile delivery is a choke point for the delivery of packages to consumers, especially in e-commerce companies. This final segment of the supply-chain accumulates larger delivery time. Moreover, with the rapid commercialization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), there is a growing interest in drone delivery with the increasing demand for last-mile delivery. Drone delivery service targets to overcome the limitations of larger delivery time and provide faster delivery using the aerial route. It has been reported that drones can reduce half of the time as compared to other transportation systems for deliveries. Thus, delivery drones carry packages to the desired setpoint without getting affected by road traffic conjunction and on a planned optimized route, thereby favoring faster delivery time.

Global Drone Package Delivery Market

Competitive analysis such as market structure, market share by key players, player positioning, top winning strategies, competitive dashboard, and company evaluation quadrant has been covered in the report. Also, detailed profiles of all major companies have been provided. The market structure is fragmented due to the presence of a large number of global and regional players. The competitive environment in this market is expected to intensify due to an increase in innovations and mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in the near future. The volume of new entrants is moderate in the drone package delivery industry as low product differentiation and switching costs, fragmented market structure, and high market growth increases the threat from new entrants. On the other hand, high capital investment and high brand loyalty restricts the entry of new players in the industry.

What is Drone Package Delivery?

A delivery drone refers to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that comprises four to eight propellers and rechargeable batteries that provide thrust and carry packages underneath the drone body. It is remotely operated from a ground controlling facility that is efficient in navigating and monitoring multiple drones simultaneously. It can easily maneuver in remote locations and help in saving shipping time and costs involved in conventional delivery methods. It is widely employed for express delivery of food items, parcels, medicines, and other goods. As a result, drone package delivery finds applications in the e-commerce, food and beverage (F&B), and logistics industries across the globe.

COVID-19 Impact:

With the outbreak of COVID-19, many production plants brought down their capacity utilization rates while others suspended their manufacturing operations owing to the global lockdowns and being in compliance with directives from the government. Few plants continued their production, burdened with supply disruptions from the raw materials industry, labor shortages, and low stocks. The coronavirus pandemic threatened the logistical and transportation slowdown. Restrictions on on-road movement impacted the supply in the short term. However, the global pandemic also observed a significant growth in the demand for drones for various purposes. With the growing demand for drones from multiple sectors, UAV players encountered many problems during the pandemic. The countries which were import-dependent experienced delays in the hardware delivery for assimilation of the parts due to delays in customs, restrictions on trade and delays in research work. The unprecedented demand for contactless deliveries on account of rising health concerns related to hygiene and fear of the COVID-19 virus spread has impacted the drone delivery market positively. Thus, in the face of the global COVID-19 pandemic, there have been reported attempts to utilize drone technology in different scenarios. This is resulting in an increasing market for drone delivery in the coming years.

Drone Package Delivery Market Trends:

At present, the increasing demand for drone package delivery due to the rising integration of drone package delivery systems with sensors, night-vision cameras, landing pads, and collision control equipment represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing demand for express delivery of goods, along with the thriving e-commerce industry around the world, is offering a favorable market outlook. In addition, the increasing utilization of automated delivery solutions due to rising concerns about traffic congestion leading to the delayed delivery process is propelling the growth of the market. Moreover, the growing inclination towards instant delivery of farm-fresh food items is positively influencing the market. Apart from this, the rising adoption of long-range delivery drones by several military and disaster management units for providing food packages and medicines during natural calamities is strengthening the growth of the market.
