The drone motor is what forces the propellers to rotate and makes the drone fly. Drones usually have multiple motors, one for each propeller of the drone. These motors are typically brushed or brushless. These motors (brushed and brushless), last long and are more efficient as compared to other motors. These two motors operate differently in each case. The brushless motors are far more durable and powerful for their weight than the brushed motors. Without a doubt, brushless is superior for larger drones. But having these inexpensive motors may make the micro and nano drones to crash, as they are not suitable for smaller drones.

A brushed motor and a brushless motor operate internally in the same way since they both rely on electromagnetism. A temporary magnetic field that repels (or attracts) the permanent magnets located inside the motor is produced when the motor windings become energized (both motors have coils). Brushless motors typically have an efficiency of 85%–90%, while brushed DC motors have an efficiency of 75%–80%. In contrast to brushless motors, brushed motors have windings on the rotor rather than in the stator. Due to the difference in efficiency, more of the motor's total output is converted into rotational force and less is lost as heat. Because there are no brushes to wear out, brushless motors endure longer than brushed motors, which break down quickly. It is one of the factors that leads to brush motors being less expensive than brushless motors.

The agricultural drone is still in its early stages, but it is growing rapidly as farmers and agricultural companies recognize the benefits of these unmanned aerial vehicles for crop management and monitoring. The demand for drones in agriculture is about to surge. Recently in India, the government has accepted the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for drones and their components, which can be implemented from 2022–23 to 2024–25 with a sum of Rs 120 crore.

At present, in most places across the world, drones are used for spraying pesticides. But they can be used for crop monitoring, crop fertilization, and crop seeding. There are many applications related to farming that can be achieved with the help of a drone. As a result, the demand for drone motors will increase.

The drone motor in construction industry is a rapidly growing segment of the drone industry, as more construction companies are adopting drones to improve safety, efficiency, and accuracy in their operations. The market for construction drone motors is expected to grow significantly over the next few years, driven by increasing demand for drones in the construction industry. Construction drones can be operated manually or automatically from a distance using a remote control and battery. Construction drones give teams a comprehensive view of the site, the equipment, the workers, and the materials, ensuring workplace security and safety.

Furthermore, the drones are increasingly used in surveying, geographic mapping, and infrastructure inspection due to its many advantages, including its ability to capture accurate images, acquire real-time data, and monitor access to dangerous regions like collapsed trenches, quarries, and excavated areas. The Indian government, in its Budget 2023–24, has increased the capital expenditure on infrastructure investment by 33%, due to which there will be a rise in activity in the construction sector, which will create demand for drone usage and demand for drone motor.

The drone motor in military is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years, driven by the increasing adoption of drones or unmanned aerial vehicles in modern warfare. The army uses drones for various types of applications, whether it is just surveying or neutralizing a target. In 2023, the Indian Army acquired a swarm drone system from a Bengaluru startup known as NewSpace Research. Purchases like this show the demand for drones in the current market scenario.
