Drone services providers (DSPs) offer clients turnkey drone services so they may be the single point of contact for enterprise customers. Some DSPs provide pilots for hire to accomplish commercial drone tasks, but most offer business solutions using a combination of drones; certified commercial drone pilots; and data capture, processing, storage, analysis, and display software.

Common commercial use cases for DSPs include mapping/surveying, surveillance, construction monitoring, infrastructure inspections, energy asset inspections, insurance inspections, precision agriculture, and aerial photography/video. Some DSPs offer a wide range of services while others prefer to concentrate on specific vertical markets.

The commercial drone market, and its associated ecosystem, is still in a relatively nascent stage of development but has shown an increasing growth potential as regulatory agencies race to keep up with the pace of technological change and drone end users discover best practices to optimize aerial intelligence for decision-making in a wide range of industries.

The Frost Radar reveals the market positioning of companies in an industry using their Growth and Innovation scores as highlighted in the Frost Radar methodology. The document presents competitive profiles on each of the companies in the Frost Radar based on their strengths, opportunities, and a small discussion on their positioning. Frost & Sullivan analyzes hundreds of companies in the industry and benchmarks them across 10 criteria on the Frost Radar, where the leading companies in the industry are then positioned. Industry leaders on both the Growth and Innovation indices are recognized as best practice recipients.

Key Issues Addressed

  • Who are the top companies in the Frost Radar, according to Growth and Innovation indices?
  • Which companies lead the DSP market in terms of innovation?
  • Which companies lead the market in terms of Growth?
  • What significant partnerships are occurring in the DSP market?
  • Which DSPs have the best combination of Growth and Innovation, and which are poised to improve?
