Global Drones Market to Grow at a CAGR of 22.40% During 2026-2035, Aided by Rapid Technological Advancements and Increasing Demand from the E-commerce Sector

Drones, also known as unmanned aircraft systems, are flying robots controlled remotely or autonomously using software, GPS, and sensors. They are used in various applications, such as weather monitoring, search and rescue, and surveillance. The drones market is growing due to advances in IoT, machine learning, VTOL, and geospatial mapping, which improve the accuracy of drone delivery services. The increase in online shopping and the demand for quick delivery of health and wellness products also boost the market growth.

In agriculture, drones help monitor crops and apply pesticides, improving yield and increasing profits for farmers. Drones are also becoming popular for weather surveillance as they can collect meteorological data more effectively than traditional methods, offering better manoeuvrability and data capture in vertical columns.

Drones, due to their improved precision and surveillance capabilities, are widely used for military and defence applications. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), military expenditure as a percentage of GDP from 2018 to 2022 has witnessed an increase. The military spending remained steady at 2.1% of GDP in 2018 and 2019. In 2020, there was an increase to 2.3%, likely reflecting heightened global tensions or increased defence needs. In 2021, spending slightly decreased to 2.2% but rose again to 2.3% in 2022. The trend indicates a general increase in military expenditure over the five years, suggesting that countries are prioritizing defence spending amid growing security concerns.
