TRENDS INFLUENCING THE GLOBAL DRONE LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORTATION MARKET

Drones are immensely beneficial for the transportation of goods in urban areas with high traffic congestion. They are effective in pallet scanning at distribution centers, enabling the operations team to view the inventory stored at the facility and look for lost items in hard-to-reach spaces.

Drones are able to reach areas that are inaccessible to other modes of transportation thereby increasing the radius of action for companies making shipments.

Faster and rapid transport of essential relief packages and medical supplies to remote areas can be performed smoothly. These factors will drive the growth of the drone logistics and transportation market during the forecast period.

The increasing demand for last-mile delivery solutions by eCommerce companies and food service delivery providers is pushing the drone logistics market forward.

Companies engaged in the last mile and small package delivery are deploying drones to cut costs and improve operational efficiency. For instance, Prime Air delivery drones are capable of shipping out parcels directly from warehouses to customers within 30 minutes.

Hence the gradual development and testing will fuel the growth of the drone logistics and transportation market in the subsequent years.

The lack of a skilled workforce and the need for fulfilling ever-increasing consumer expectations has intensified the requirement for enhancing efficiency in warehouse operations.

Drones have the ability to fly and hover autonomously, avoid obstacles in warehouse layouts and navigate the indoor land precisely. They are being deployed in inventory audits, cycle counting, item search, buffer stock maintenance, and stock taking.

Drones increase inspection accuracy, reduce unnecessary labor costs and save the existing workforce from hazardous tasks. These rapid changes will create lucrative opportunities for the drone logistics and transportation market during the forecast period.

Self-driven UAVs have the potential to transport medical supplies, payloads, crucial equipment, and food in dangerous and remote environments. This crucial function enhances the frontline defense capabilities.

They can supply life-saving drugs back and forth across hundreds of miles. The attached sensors will scan for unobstructed areas for landing purposes. If the landing is not possible then the supply pods will be dropped from a low altitude.

This in turn will drive the growth of the global drone logistics and transportation market share in the coming years.

DRONE LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORTATION MARKET SHARE ANALYSIS

Based on the solution, the shipping segment is expected to dominate the drone logistics and transportation market share due to several beneficial features and R&D in the development of drones for package delivery.

Based on application, the commercial segment will witness significant growth opportunities due to increasing deployment in logistics and rapid expansion of the eCommerce industry.

Based on region, North America will grow the highest in the drone logistics and transportation market share due to rising use in the logistics industry. While the Asia-Pacific region will grow the fastest due to increasing investments.
