Drone Surveillance Market

Drone Surveillance Market



Growth Factors of Drone Surveillance Market

The drone surveillance market size was valued at USD 212.3 million in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 251.2 million in 2024 to USD 685.2 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 13.4% during the forecast period of 2023-2030.

COVID-19 has somehow negatively affected the commercial and economic lines of the development of developed countries. However, the requirement for functional apparatus has not diminished to any extent, shape or form. They are therefore attributed to the market changes occasioned by the drone surveillance market growth after the end of the pandemic.

An increase in the installation of wind turbines mainly in North America and Europe due to increased focus on using renewable energy sources is expected to improve the drone surveillance market share. This will owe to the government policies and energy companies' capabilities in an aim to produce electricity from clean sources. Moreover, the evolution of AI-based drones for the wind turbine inspection business will take the market to the next level of development. As a consequence, a higher CAGR is expected.

Additionally, increased usage of LiDAR drones for conducting surveys and inspections for oil and gas rigs is probably to create demand due to high-end laser and sensing features that offer maximum results with minimal errors. The combination of crash avoidance systems and analytical capabilities based on artificial intelligence improves their suitability for various uses. Another driver to adopting LiDAR technology in the oil and gas industry is increased research and development investments and the need for offshore maintenance.

Comprehensive Analysis of Drone Surveillance Market

The drone surveillance market and the aerospace & defence industry are growing at a breakneck pace because of the segmentation of its market. This market expansion also offers a thorough regional perspective per the supply-side and demand-side influencers for the unmanned systems market.
