Why North America Will Likely Have Highest Demand For Cargo Drone Market In 2023

FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary

PALM BEACH, Fla., Dec. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), commonly known as drones, are capable of delivering small packages and they are being utilized around the globe in ever increasing numbers. They typically have 4 to 8 propellers, rechargeable batteries, and attach packages below their bodies to create thrust. Drones can be controlled remotely or independently, and the user can control numerous drones at once. Additionally, they can use cargo drones to deliver shipments weighing up to 200 kg. They are primarily utilized in the logistics industry to transport medium-sized products across great distances. Cargo drones for logistics and transportation minimize the urban traffic, CO2 emissions, speed up delivery services, reach hard-to-reach places, and operate continuously without the need for shift work. In a number of locations throughout the world, cargo drones are utilized for deliveries that need to be made quickly, such as medical supplies, or that are challenging to do with conventional vehicles. Compared to conventional systems, the use of cargo drones in logistics and transportation can change the economics for smaller and medium-sized goods. A recent report from Fact.MR projected that the global cargo drones market is set to enjoy a valuation of US$ 10,580.2 million in 2023 and further expand at a CAGR of 14.6% to reach US$ 41,337.1 million by the end of 2033. Active companies in the markets this week include: Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO) (CSE: DPRO), Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: TDY), Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE: JOBY), Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: KTOS), Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA).

The report said: "The demand for cargo drones is expected to be very profitable during short term. This will be accomplished by selling cargo drones through a variety of sales channels, which will open up a wide range of opportunities to directly reach out to consumers all over the world. On the demand side, North America is most likely to be the most significant region. During the projected period, the East Asia region's robust supply chain network and capital expansion will provide manufacturers with new prospects. Along with organic growth strategies, manufacturers have several opportunities to follow inorganic growth strategies such as merger, partnership and collaboration to expand in East Asia region owing to ample opportunities for revenue generation."
