Description
The drone-in-a-box (DIB) market is nascent but will be rapidly transitioning to a growth market. While growth in this market is being driven by the demand for autonomous drones, regulatory restrictions that require pilots to maintain visual contact while operating commercial drones continue to pose the most significant roadblock. However, technological advances and demonstrations of safe operations are leading aviation authorities to permit waivers on a wider basis. More than 30 companies globally are marketing or developing DIB solutions, but fewer than half have deployed solutions to clients. The top 5 companies account for nearly 70% of the market, but this percentage is likely to decline with several new entrants planning to bring solutions to market in 2021.
This analysis also identifies, and provides a detailed explanation of, the top growth opportunities in the DIB market. These explanations include a list of associated growth processes, an estimate of the revenue opportunity size, relevant industries each growth opportunity will influence, and regions where the opportunity will be applied. Furthermore, a definition of each growth opportunity and the context in which the opportunity will function is presented along with calls to action that will be necessary to fully benefit from the opportunity.
Research Scope
The DIB market size estimate is based on more than a dozen primary interviews and extensive secondary research. The overall market assessment includes:
- Factors driving and restraining demand for DIB solutions and services
- Leading DIB solutions manufacturers and their position in the ecosystem
- Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) evaluations of the leading companies in the market
- Perspectives on various market issues that provide insights for executive-level decision-making
Key Issues Addressed
- Is the DIB growing? If so, how long will it continue to grow, and at what rate?
- What segments, programs, and services make up the DIB market?
- What are the most significant drivers, restraints, and trends affecting the DIB market?
- What companies are leading the DIB market, and in which segments?
- What technologies will be emphasized as the market continues to mature?
