According to the research report ""Italy Drone Market Overview, 2028,"" published by Bonafide Research, the Italy Drone market is anticipated to grow at 20.85% CAGR from 2023 to 2028. Drones equipped with specialised sensors were extensively used for maritime surveillance along Italy's extensive coastline. They helped in detecting illegal fishing activities, monitoring pollution, and ensuring the security of maritime areas. Drones integrate LiDAR (light detection and ranging) technology for high-precision mapping and 3D modeling. This was particularly useful for topographical surveys, land-use planning, and archaeological research. Italian drone operators and developers have increasingly incorporated AI and machine learning algorithms into their systems. These enabled drones to process data in real-time, make autonomous decisions, and improve tasks such as object recognition and navigation. Drones were deployed during natural disasters and emergencies to create crisis maps. These maps provided critical information on damaged areas, infrastructure status, and the distribution of resources, aiding disaster response efforts. Drones were used for traffic management and monitoring in congested urban areas. They provided real-time insights into traffic flow, helping authorities optimise traffic signals and reduce congestion. Drones were explored for medical supply deliveries between healthcare facilities, particularly in remote areas and islands, enhancing healthcare access. With increased drone usage, noise pollution has become a concern, particularly in urban environments. Italian researchers and manufacturers began developing quieter drone propulsion systems and noise-reduction technologies.

Italy is seeing a growing adoption of drones by businesses across various industries. Companies recognize the cost-efficiency and an operational benefit of using drones for tasks such as aerial surveys, data collection, and inspections. Italy is renowned for its wine production. Commercial drones are employed in the viticulture industry to monitor vineyards, assess grape health, and plan harvests. Drones contribute to wine quality improvement. Commercial drones are often designed with customization options, allowing businesses to attach specific sensors and payloads tailored to their unique needs and industries. Researchers in various fields, such as geology, ecology, and climate science, use commercial drones for remote sensing and data collection in remote or challenging environments. In addition the drone market is typically divided into three main categories based on the type of drone propulsion and design: Fixed Wing, Rotary Wing, and Hybrid. One of the key advantages of hybrid drones is their ability to cover longer distances and operate for extended periods compared to purely rotary-wing drones. This makes them well-suited for applications that require large area coverage or long-duration missions. Telecommunications companies use hybrid drones to inspect and maintain their network infrastructure, including cell towers and communication antennas. These drones provide efficient solutions for checking equipment at heights.

Drones with payloads ranging from 25 kg to 150 kg are expected to have the highest CAGR in the Italy drone market based on payload. Drones in this weight class offer the versatility of carrying heavier payloads, making them suitable for a wide range of applications across industries. Drones in this weight class offer the versatility of carrying heavier payloads, making them suitable for a wide range of applications across industries. These drones are used for transporting heavy cargo, including medical supplies, industrial equipment, and humanitarian aid, particularly in remote or challenging terrains. Energy companies use heavy-payload drones for inspecting power infrastructure, transporting equipment to remote substations, and conducting maintenance on energy facilities. In firefighting efforts, these drones can carry firefighting equipment, deliver water or fire retardant, and assess wildfire situations from the air. Drones in this weight range often offer customizable payload options, allowing users to attach specialized sensors, LiDAR systems, cameras, and other equipment tailored to specific mission requirements.
