According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Drones Market Report by Type (Fixed Wing, Rotary Wing, Hybrid), Component (Hardware, Software, Accessories), Payload (<25 Kilograms, 25-170 Kilograms, >170 Kilograms), Point of Sale (Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), Aftermarket), End-Use Industry (Construction, Agriculture, Military and Defense, Law Enforcement, Logistics, Media and Entertainment, and Others), and Region 2025-2033,” the global drones market size reached USD 30.7 Billion in 2024. A drone, also known as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), refers to an unpiloted aircraft that can fly autonomously or controlled remotely. It contains various components, including a flight controller, electronic speed controller (ESC), GPS module, battery, antenna and sensors. Drones require a controller, which is used remotely by an operator to launch, navigate and land it using radio waves. Nowadays, drones are used for a variety of applications, ranging from surveillance, search and rescue, firefighting, and traffic and weather monitoring to photography, videography, agricultural research and delivery services.

Global Drones Market Trends:

Over the past decade, the deployment of drones in the military and defense sector has emerged as one of the most significant factors bolstering the growth of the market. These vehicles help survey lands, provide consistent and reliable topographical data, improve safety and avoid hazardous situations. Besides this, surveillance drones are being utilized to track public activity around hotspot zones during lockdowns imposed to curb the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Apart from this, the integration of drones with the internet of things (IoT) has helped farmers to monitor agricultural land and crops, energy companies to survey power lines and operational equipment, and insurance providers to examine properties for claims. Furthermore, reduction in costs and improvements in graphic visualization have led to an increased demand for UAVs in the construction and real estate sectors. Moreover, technological advancements have enabled drone manufacturers to design variants with different shapes, sizes and weights, making them useful across a broader application base. Market players are also focusing on developing next-generation smart drones with built-in safeguards, compliance technology, self-monitoring and accurate sensors. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market value to reach USD 74.8 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.41% during 2025-2033.
