The fact that drones are starting to become a major part of our everyday lives is clear evidence that UAVs have managed to start trends, and increased those trends, so that there is a significant shift in the economy toward robotics in general, and drone technology, specifically.
Economists estimate that the drone services market will grow during the period from 2021-2027 by a projected $124.1 billion worldwide. This is based on the analytical expectations that the drone market will be driven by a revised, compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 80.6%.
The economic forecast is that the U.S. needs to readjust to a 74.1% CAGR. Within Europe, Germany is expected to reach over $2.1 billion to the region’s size, over the next 7 to 8 years. In addition, over $5.5 billion worth of projected demand in the region will come from the rest of the European markets. In Japan, the Aerial Photography & Remote Sensing sector, is expected to reach a market of $1.4 billion by the end of 2027.
The changing relationship between China and the rest of the world will influence competition and opportunities in the drone services market. Even considering this fluid situation, the world’s second largest economy is projected to grow at 66.2% over the next couple of years and add around $7.3 billion in the market.
