The drone industry is predicted to develop at a CAGR of 25% between 2022 and 2032 and is anticipated to reach USD 279 billion, according to the latest analysis by Fact.MR.
Drone technology is aimed at supplying precision-based, guided weapons which are causing important advancements in the defence sector and is likely to be the backbone of global market growth.
From 2017 to 2021, the industry experienced an impressive incline at a CAGR of 23.5%. During the COVID-19 pandemic, prospects dimmed across certain sectors, including manufacturing and hospitality, while deployment for general surveillance purposes, especially to check whether individuals adhered to lockdown norms, increased dramatically.
The fatal mix of stealth capabilities and enhanced video imagery is providing developed-country militaries with drones capable of wreaking considerable harm on enemy territory. Emerging nations and war-torn areas, such as Syria, are innovating and employing cost-cutting techniques, such as the employment of cheap, commercial quadcopters outfitted with improvised and low-intensity explosives in their military operations.
