Drones are nowadays preferred for many commercial and military applications, due to its advantages such as high precision, high efficiency, acceptable & affordable innovations, and low production, operational & maintenance cost.  However, the factors such as declining defense budgets, lack of skilled pilots, and strict airspace regulations are restraining the growth of the market to some extent. The global market is projected to register growth at a CAGR of 22.2%, and reach ~$2.3 Billion by 2020.

The penetration rate of aerial shooting applications in the multirotor drones market is highest compared other applications. However, the market demand for business & commerce application is estimated to overtake the homeland security applications’ market by 2020.

Due to economic downturn, major countries such as U.S. and the U.K. are witnessing economic difficulties. The U.S. has witnessed budget cuts in the recent past and it is likely to continue in the near future. The U.S. has announced the budget cut of US $178 Billion from 2011 to 2015. Any budget cut in these countries could slow down the defense industry. Despite these facts, the drones market is booming and a considerable amount of money is spent on research & development. India, South Korea, China, Germany, France and Australia are the new growth regions, due to their high investments in R&D of the UAV sector.

The unrest in Asian countries due to terrorist attacks and political disputes has increased the UAV spending. Regions such as North America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe currently hold the largest share market. However, the Middle Eastern and African countries have a high potential of growth in this sector.
