Market Overview:
The global small unmanned aerial vehicles market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for small unmanned aerial vehicles for commercial and recreational applications. Additionally, the growing adoption of small unmanned aerial vehicles in military and defense applications is also contributing to the growth of this market. Based on type, the global small unmanned aerial vehicles market can be segmented into helicopters, multi-rotors, and quadcopters. Of these, helicopters are expected to account for a major share of the global small unmanned aerial vehicles market in terms of revenue during the forecast period. This can be attributed to their high efficiency and ability to carry heavy payloads over long distances.
Product Definition:
Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (SUAVs) are small, unmanned aircraft systems that typically weigh less than 55 pounds. SUAVs are used for a variety of purposes including aerial photography, land surveys, and crop monitoring.
Helicopters:
Helicopters are powered by a rotary engine and they are capable of sustained and rapid vertical ascents. They can be either single-rotor or multi- rotor with up to eight blades. Helicopters have been in use for more than a century, but only recently has their application expanded beyond military & defense into commercial applications such as oil & gas, law enforcement, rescue operations, etc.
Multi-Rotors:
Multi-rotors are a type of aerial vehicle that is generally composed of two or more rotors which are used to provide directional stability and flight control to the system. Multi-rotor UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) can be distinguished from helicopters as they do not have any tail rotor.
Application Insights:
Aerial imaging was the dominant application segment in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The increasing need for aerial images for various applications, such as land use planning, infrastructure monitoring, security & surveillance has contributed to the growth of this segment. Aerial games are also expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising adoption of UAVs by schools and educational institutions. Moreover, government initiatives that aim at encouraging innovation in education are likely to contribute further. Other applications include data collection (for agriculture purposes), mapping & navigation assistance and others (remote sensing).
The aerial imaging segment accounted for a revenue share of around 40% in 2017 while that of other segments combined accounted for a revenue share less than 10%. This indicates a high demand from other applications which could be attributed towards higher costs associated with operating these aircraft compared to their conventional helicopters counterparts.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global small unmanned aerial vehicles market in terms of revenue share in 2016. The growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for UAVs for commercial applications such as real estate, agricultural monitoring, and inspection of power lines and pipelines. Moreover, presence of key companies such as DJI Innovative Technology Co., Ltd., Parrot International GmbH, Yuneec International BVBA has fueled regional growth.
The Asia Pacific region is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising government initiatives pertaining to use of drones for disaster management operations and other activities. For instance; In India Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Systematic Training Programme was launched under National Security Agency (NSA) project which involved training professionals on how operate UAS with special emphasis on using them during natural calamities or terrorist attacks for efficient delivery of goods/supplies or search-and-rescue operations thus boosting industry expansion across this region.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for small unmanned aerial vehicles for commercial and military applications
- Rising popularity of drones among hobbyists and enthusiasts
- Technological advancements in small unmanned aerial vehicle technology
- Growing number of drone pilots and operators
- Proliferation of drone racing as a sport
