Market Overview:
The global RC drones market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to factors such as the increasing demand for commercial and recreational applications of RC drones, technological advancements in drone technology, and rising investments by venture capitalists in drone-related startups. Based on type, the global RC drones market is segmented into small, medium, large, steel, and fiberglass segments. The small segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global RC drones market in 2018 owing to its low cost and easy portability. However, with technological advancements resulting in miniaturization of components used in making RC drones coupled with rising demand for high-end features such as HD cameras and autopilot systems among consumers; the medium segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR than other segments during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. Based on application type, hobby photo accounted for majority share of revenue generated by commercial applications of rc drones globally followed by survey & mapping application which are used extensively across various industry verticals including construction & infrastructure development sector .
Product Definition:
Remote Controlled Drones are aerial vehicles that can be navigated through a remote control. They have a variety of uses, including photography, videography, search and rescue, surveillance and mapping.
Small:
Small is the new big in the robotics & drones industry. Small size drones can be used for indoor as well as outdoor applications. These small sized UAVs are increasingly adopted by commercial enterprises and government agencies for various purposes such as security, surveillance, inspection, photography and mapping among others. The increasing use of these devices has led to a surge in demand for small drone components such as sensors, frames and motors which is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.
Medium:
The medium is a wireless device that helps to transfer the control from the transmitter to the drone. It has an advantage over traditional RC transmitters in that it does not have a physical antenna and instead uses radio frequency (RF) for communication. The range of RF varies with each brand, but generally drones with larger batteries can be far away as much as 500miles while small drones can be within 10-100miles from the pilot.
Application Insights:
The other application segment includesRC toy, which accounted for more than 40% of the total revenue share in 2017. The demand for rc toys has been growing steadily over the past few years and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. Increasing spending on advanced technology products by millennials has driven manufacturers to develop innovative products that can provide a real-life flying experience with ease and convenience.
Commercial applications are projected to dominate the global market throughout the forecast period owing to rising adoption of drones in various industries such as agriculture, construction, mining and minerals among others.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The U.S. is considered to be the major contributor to the regional market growth owing to increasing drone-related accidents and terrorist attacks across countries such as France, Germany, Italy, and others. Thus, governments are taking necessary measures by introducing strict regulations for commercial use of drones while allowing limited recreational use under certain conditions such as no fly zones and restricted hours of operation (Drones for Good Foundation).
Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period due to rising demand from various application areas including inspection & monitoring; agriculture; media & entertainment; firefighting; law enforcement & security services among others (Drone Industry Association). China has emerged as a key country contributing towards regional growth with growing investments from companies operating within this industry coupled with favorable government policies supporting innovation through research activities (Xiaomi Corporation).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for drones in commercial and military applications
- Rising popularity of drone racing as a sport
- Proliferation of drone-based photography and videography services
- Development of advanced features and capabilities in RC drones
- Growing number of online stores selling RC drones and related accessories
