VANCOUVER, BC, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The global drone logistics and transportation market size was USD 7.53 Billion in 2020. Increasing use of drone for faster delivery of goods, growth of e-Commerce sector, increasing investment in research and development, advancements in technology, supportive government regulations, increasing demand for last mile delivery solutions, and emergence of 3PL service providers are some key factors driving market revenue growth.

Drivers: Increasing demand for drones in last mile delivery solutions

Increasing demand for drones in last mile delivery solutions to reap cost reduction benefits is a key factor fueling market revenue growth. For instance, Prime Air delivery drones of Amazon could ship out parcels directly from warehouse to the customer within 30 minutes for a minimal price of USD 1.00. Companies engaged in last mile and small package delivery are considered most appropriate logistics business units for initial deployment of drones, owing to the characteristics and present technological limitations associated with drones. Rising demand for last mile delivery by e-Commerce firms and online food delivery services providers such as Dominos is driving steady demand for drone logistics and transportation, and the this is expected to gain traction going ahead.

Restraints: Issues associated with drone battery back-up

Issues associated with drone battery back-up may hamper market revenue growth to some extent over the forecast period. Drone flight time is a major concern currently. Lithium polymer batteries which are used in majority of drones offer limited back-up during flight. Also, short flight time is due to programming of smart batteries by manufacturers to extend battery service life. These smart batteries discharge till power reaches around 30% of storage capacity. Thus, drone may not achieve full flight time due to batteries self-discharging during flight.

Growth Projections

The global drone logistics and transportation market size is expected to reach USD 31.84 Billion in 2028 and register a revenue CAGR of 19.5% over forecast period. Advantages of drone logistics and transportation in eliminating issues pertaining to return of delivered goods is aiding in decreasing return time cycles, as well as eradicates hassles related to drop off of packages at remote locations are driving market growth. Drones can be deployed to pick-up faulty/damaged parcels and return it to seller. Faster turnaround time translates to rapid return claims resolution, and better customer experience, allowing business to save time and increase focus on other business functions.

Various favorable initiatives undertaken by governments in various countries regarding the use of drones for logistics and transportation is fueling market revenue growth. Drones hold immense potential to impact ocean freight by streamlining the process of inspection and review. In case of railways, logistic & transportation drones may be used to fetch packages from a train as it approaches a specific destination and deliver the package to the intended recipient.
