Global Fixed-Wing UAVs Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029
Market Overview:
The latest research study on the global Fixed-Wing UAVs market finds that the global Fixed-Wing UAVs market reached a value of USD 701.22 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 1053.0 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.01% during the forecast period.
Fixed-wing UAVs are long-lived UAVs. Compared with multi-rotor UAVs, they cover a large area. They are faster, but require larger take-off and landing areas. Flying and landing these drones requires more learning.
During the COVID-19 epidemic, drones play an important role in disinfection operations. Compared with traditional methods, they can cover a larger area and at the same time reduce the risk for workers, who would otherwise spend more time exposed to viruses and disinfectants. The application of disinfection comes from the application of agricultural drones. In the agricultural field, compared with manual or traditional machinery, drones have obvious advantages in crop planting (pollination), spraying pesticides, fertilizing, and monitoring growth, pests and diseases. This application can better promote the development of smart agriculture and improve agricultural production efficiency. The drone can also transport COVID-19 test samples for medical institutions and conduct tests.
