Based on application, the aerial photography & remote sensing segment of the drone services market is projected to witness significant growth. The demand for aerial photography & remote sensing is rising in various industries, owing to the capability of drones to collect high-resolution aerial data in complex areas. Inspection & environmental monitoring is another major application segment of the market, due to the increasing use of drone services for forest monitoring, volcanic eruptions, glacier surveillance, ocean research, geophysical research, and wildlife observations, among others.

Based on duration of service, the short duration service segment is projected to lead the drone services market during the forecast period. The short duration drone service is popular in several industries for photography, inspection, and monitoring. The long duration service segment is projected to witness high growth during the forecast period, owing to the increasing use long duration drone services for mining and construction purposes.
