Product Definition:
Radio Control (R/C) is a technology that uses radio waves to control the movement of vehicles or other devices. It is commonly used in hobbyist settings to control model airplanes, cars, boats, and other devices.
12 Channel:
12 Channel is a term used for the group of 12 radio controlled channels. It's also known as double-wide, because it uses two frequencies (6 & 6 or 9 & 9) in a single transceiver. The most common use of this technology is in model aircraft and marine applications where more than one channel can be used at the same time with different frequencies to control multiple devices such as landing gears and motors respectively.
16 Channel:
16-channel is a standard for digital control systems which can be used in R/C applications. It was developed by the 16th International Conference on Microelectronics and Smart Systems (ICMES'97) as an extension to 8-bit microcontrollers. The ICMES’97 conference was held in Brazil, July 1997.
Application Insights:
The model airplane segment held the largest share of the global market in 2017. This is attributed to an increase in demand for radio-controlled aircraft, which offer entertainment as well as promote physical fitness among children and adults. Moreover, these models are used for training purposes by military pilots and aeronautical institutes. The rising popularity of this sport has resulted in increased production of these planes across the world.
Drone or UAV is expected to be one of the fastest growing segments over the forecast period owing to its wide applications including aerial photography, film-making, mapping etcetera.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The U.S. is a key contributor to the regional market growth owing to increased spending on drone technology and model aircraft development across the region over the past few years, which has led to an increase in sales of hobby grade radio control equipment for such applications as well as drones and their accessories. Europe also held a significant share of global revenue generation in 2017 due to high demand for R/C models developed by companies including Estes Industries, Inc., Horizon Hobby Co., and Academy Sports + Outdoors Inc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for hobby radio control products from the young generation.
- The increasing popularity of drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles is driving the growth of the hobby radio control market.
- Rising disposable income of consumers is resulting in an increase in spending on hobbies, including radio control products.
- Proliferation of online retail channels is providing a convenient platform for consumers to purchase hobby radio control products, thereby boosting market growth.
