DRONEII Drone Market Report: Where the Drone Industry Will Grow the Fastest by 2030

September 26, 2022 by Miriam McNabb 12 Comments

Drone Industry Insights (DRONEII) has published their annual flagship product, the Drone Market Report.  This year, the forecast goes out 8 years to 2030 – and gives new insight about where drone industry growth will be fastest, by region and by application

As DRONEII’s Ed Alvarado writes, “As autumn begins and the foliage changes, it’s time for a new edition of our flagship drone market analysis. The new Drone Market Report 2022 features the latest business intelligence of the drone market with all sectors (hardware, software, services), 17 industry verticals, in-depth look at top 10 country markets by market size, breakdowns by region, country, commercial vs recreational, unit sales, and much more.”

According to DRONEII’s Drone Market Report, the global drone market is worth an estimated US$30.6 billion in 2022.  It’s a stunning number  – but one poised for steady growth.  DRONEII forecasts that the commercial drone market will experience a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 8.3% until 2030.  “Overall, our drone market analysis shows that the market as a whole (commercial + recreational) will be worth US$55.8 billion by the year 2030,” writes Alvarado.

Drone Industry Growth by Region

Where will drone industry growth be strongest?  According to DRONEII’s research, Asia is the fastest growing market, with Europe and North America close behind.  DRONEII points out that the expanded time frame – until 2030 – allows for new regulations like flight beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) and remote ID to be enacted, and drone industry applications to scale accordingly.

Originally published: September 2022

This general growth picture, however, may not give the entire story.  This year, DRONEII looked at even more countries – gathering specific data points about the market today in order to project accurately.  The report points out, for example, that the fastest growth of commercial drone new unit sales is in the Middle East and Africa – and some market segments and applications are growing at a faster rate than others.

In terms of tracking a moving target, the drone market report paints a picture of the overall global market by focusing on each smaller component and threading them together into a broader view (our bottom-up approach). This broader view is the first thing presented in the report (i.e. total drone market), and each subsequent chapter digs deeper and deeper into various segments of the market. From hardware market size per region, to forecasting market size of drones used in construction per country, or analyzing unit sales of commercial units in China, our drone market analysis crafts a comprehensive view of the market in all its aspects for the next 8 years.
