Market Challenges

  • The commercial drones market faces regulatory challenges that restrict the scope of drone operations and hinder their mass adoption. Governments and commercial bodies utilize drones, also known as Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), for various applications. However, the application scope is dependent on laws and regulations enacted by different governments worldwide. For instance, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has imposed regulations that impact the global commercial drones market. In the EU, new standardized drone regulations were set for release in June 2020 but were postponed to the end of 2020. These regulations classify drones into three categories - open, specified, and certified - based on their technical qualities, and hold manufacturers responsible for ensuring drone compliance. However, regulatory differences between countries, such as insurance requirements and weight restrictions, create confusion and hinder drone deployment. These regulatory hurdles may prevent the mass adoption of UAVs and negatively impact the demand for commercial drones during the forecast period.
