FREMONT, Calif., July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The premium market intelligence study by BIS Research titled Earth Observation Drones Market – A Global and Regional Analysis projects the market to reach $18.21 billion in terms of revenue by 2032, at a CAGR of 6.88%.  

In order to serve a wide range of applications, the Earth observation drones are equipped with various types of payloads such as cameras, electrical systems and subsystems, and sensors such as accelerometer, light detection and ranging (LiDAR) hyperspectral, multispectral, infrared, electro-optical, along with Red Green Blue (RGB) and ground-penetrating radars.

Contemporary drones are also equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technology to automate drone operations, making drones safe to fly over any environmentally challenging terrane.

This study covers over 100 commercial Earth observation drone manufacturers across the globe, around 30 of which are start-ups and emerging players. This study has segmented the Earth observation drones based on application, end user, and drone type.

This study aims to estimate the global demand for commercial, civil government, and military Earth observation drones while discussing the key requirements of different end users of such drones.

The detailed study is a compilation of 46 market data tables and 37 figures spread through 169 pages and an in-depth TOC on 'Earth Observation Drones Market  – Analysis and Forecast, 2022-2032'

Demand - Drivers and Limitations

Following are the demand drivers for the Earth observation drones market:

  • Increase in demand for drones post COVID-19
  • Entry of multiple downstream geospatial service providers
  • Increasing utilization of drone imagery along with satellite imagery for enhanced geospatial intelligence
  • Increasing need for on-demand aerial survey requirements

The Earth observation drones market is expected to face some limitations as well due to the following challenges:

  • Government regulations on drone manufacturing and sales
  • Need for qualified operators to conduct drone imaging missions
  • Drone batteries supply chain shortage

Following are the opportunities for the Earth observation drones market:

  • Integration of artificial intelligence in drones and imagery analytics
  • Growing adoption of Earth observation drones by civil governments

Reasons to Buy this Report

This exclusive report on the Earth observation drones market will help in the following ways:

  • Contains a dedicated section focusing on start-up and investment scenarios in the Earth observation drones market
  • Contains value and volume analysis of the Earth observation drone application and end-user segments
  • Offers a qualitative analysis of sensor types used in drones for various Earth observation applications
  • Contains a dedicated section on growth opportunities and recommendations for the Earth observation drone manufacturing market players
  • Offers an analysis of regional and country-wise Earth observation drones market growth

Analyst's Take on the Market:

According to Arun Kumar Sampathkumar, Principal Analyst, BIS Research, "While satellite imagery-based analytics are in demand, almost all investigations utilizing satellite imagery use drone-based imaging capability for confirmation of the findings. This has been a driver of the demand for drone-based imaging missions across applications. Drone deployment in security and maintenance of critical national infrastructure is also growing owing to the ease of deployment and low cost of operations. The rise in demand for drone imagery products has resulted in the evolution of multiple aggregator business models that are collating and commercializing customized drone imagery products. The drone imaging service market is growing as a consequence, taking up a large volume of Earth observation drones. The drone manufacturing domain is responding by developing application/sensor-agnostic drones which can accommodate diverse sensor payloads. The evolving regulatory framework for drone operations is also expected to drive these markets moving forward."
