Commercial Drone Market Growth & Trends:
The global commercial drone market size is expected to reach USD 54.64 billion in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.6% from 2024 to 2030. The growth is attributed to the rising demand for commercial drones across various verticals, such as media and entertainment, agriculture, logistics, security, law enforcement, and real estate. Most end-use verticals include a significant portion of operational activities that are expected to benefit notably from drones due to the automation of business operations.
The growing proclivity for the 5G delivery model and implementing cloud computing technologies into the drone is expected to provide substantial growth opportunities for the commercial drone industry. Drones based on high-speed internet interact in challenging environments while performing tasks such as command and control, media sharing, and autonomous flying. In May 2023, Nokia launched a CE-certified, 5G drone-in-a-box solution designed to meet organizational demands, including smart cities, public safety agencies, construction, energy, and defense. The Nokia Drone Networks connect over public and private 5G and 4G/LTE networks to improve situational awareness for first responders as well as other professionals.
The continued technological advancements are expected to shape the commercial drone industry's outlook in the coming years. Drones have evolved from offering only the basic controls to 3D robotics, AI, Gimbals, safety modes, carrying capacity, high-quality video, etc. High-end drones equipped with in-build protections and compliance technology, self-monitoring capabilities, and smart precision sensors are expected to create new opportunities in the commercial sectors.
