Drones can be used to map and survey a building site, which makes project management easier and saves money.

Supportive regulations and favorable government policies
The market for business solutions that use drones is also growing because of regulatory backing and good government policies. Governments all over the world are realizing that drone technology could be useful and are putting rules in place to make sure it is used safely and effectively. In the United States, for example, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has set rules for business drone operations. Operators must get a remote pilot certificate and follow certain safety rules. In a similar way, the European Union has set up the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to control how drones are used in business. These rules set up a framework for the safe and legal use of drones, which makes it easier for businesses to use solutions that are driven by drones.

In addition to rules, states are also putting in place policies that make it easier to use drones for a variety of purposes. In India, for example, the government has set up the Digital Sky Platform, which gives people a way to use drones in a safe and legal way. The platform has a database of no-fly zones and lets companies apply for permits, among other things. In the same way, the FAA in the United States has set up a pilot program to test how drones fit into the national airspace. This is done so that more complicated drone operations can be done.

Restraints: Lack of skilled personnel
For drone-powered solutions to work well, they need to be operated and maintained by skilled people who can also analyze and make sense of the data they receive. But there aren't enough trained and qualified people in this field right now, which could make it harder for some businesses to use drone technology.

Battery life and range are short
Drones usually have a short power life and a small range, which can limit what they can do and how they can be used. This is especially true for businesses that need drones to cover big areas or work for a long time.

Opportunity: Increasing applications of drone-powered solutions in agriculture, mining, and disaster management create substantial market expansion opportunities
In areas like farmland, mining, and emergency management, the market for business solutions that use drones has a lot of room to grow. In agriculture, drones are used for precise farming, keeping an eye on crops, and estimating crop yield. All of these things help farmers be more effective and efficient. Drones with sensors and cameras can also help analyze soil and water, giving farmers the knowledge they need to make the best decisions for crop growth.

In the mining business, drones can be used to map and explore areas, do surveys, and keep an eye on how mining operations are going. This can help mining companies get the most out of their work, save money, and keep their people safe. Drones can be used in crisis management for things like search and rescue, monitoring and assessing disaster-affected areas, and delivering goods and help to communities that need it. This can help with getting help and responding to a disaster quickly and effectively.

Since these industries are using drone-powered solutions more and more, there is a lot of room for the drone-powered business solutions market to grow. Using drones can be a faster, cheaper, and better way to do things than the usual way. This can help businesses and organizations run better and make better choices.

It is expected that the development of advanced software and analytics solutions to process and analyze data collected by drones will create new growth possibilities for the market
In recent years, it has become more popular to use drones to gather data, which has led to a large amount of data being collected.

Major Segments Covered:

Solution Type Insights
Services and software, which are the most important types of options to look into, take up most of the paper. In 2015, services made up the biggest part of the market. During the projected time period, the type of software product is expected to grow at a rate of more than 70% per year. This is called the compound annual growth rate (CAGR). This market segment has grown because drone service providers have turned into companies that sell general software solutions to other service providers. Before, drone service providers were businesses that sold a fully integrated product.

UAV service providers are putting more and more effort into making and selling their own software, collecting data on-site, processing it, and making it fit their own business. By doing this, they offer a "turnkey" or "end-to-end" option to their customers. Most companies start out as a single, all-in-one answer. This is a common way for new businesses and products in the tech industry to begin.

Drone Type Insights
In 2015, multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) made up the largest part of the market, and this is expected to stay the case during the projection period. Multi-rotor aircraft are used for many non-military jobs, like inspecting the environment, covering sports, taking pictures from above, and farming.

There are also drones that use fuel or gas and mixed drones. During the questionable time period, this sector is projected to grow the most. Unmanned aerial vehicles that can take off and land vertically (called VTOL) are a relatively new type. UAV technology and aerodynamics have come a long way in the past few years, making these things doable. These robotic planes are a mix of multi-rotor planes and planes with fixed wings.

Application Insights
In 2015, the film and photography businesses had the biggest share of the market. One of the most common and wide-spread ways a high-definition camera is used is to film and take pictures from above. An innovative flying control system uses drones with three-axis gyros, barometric sensors, and GPS to make a very stable platform for filming. When a camera is connected to a gimbal on a drone, you can pan, tilt, and roll the camera to get a more fluid view.

In the not-too-distant future, it is believed that collecting and analyzing data will grow a lot. Due to recent improvements in drone technology and the rise in popularity of highly sophisticated sensors, it is now much cheaper to collect a lot of data on big areas of land. During the time period of the forecast, these costs are likely to keep going down.

End-Use Industry Insights

The paper looks at many different end-use industries, like real estate and building, media and entertainment, energy, agriculture, safety and law enforcement, logistics and transportation, and more. Three types of energy are broken down and examined in more detail: oil and gas, utility and power, and renewable energy. Energy is expected to move quickly during the time frame of the projection.

More and more, drones are being used in the energy business to do dangerous jobs that humans would normally do. Because of this change, it will be faster to keep infrastructure in good shape. UAVs are starting to be used by utilities and transmission and distribution operators all over the world to improve reliability and reaction times, make their systems safer, and save money.

Regional Insights:

By the end of the time period in question, it is expected that North America will be the most important area. The growth of demand for drones and data from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) among businesses in the area, especially in the United States, is a big reason for the expansion. In the past few years, this desire has been especially strong.

Europe is expected to grow a lot in the next nine years because the European Commission (EC) is working harder to make laws about robotic aircraft systems (UAS) more uniform. The European Commission wants all drones, no matter how big or small, to be covered by the European Union's flight safety rules. The European Commission made this suggestion.
