The new industry research report from Technavio analyzes some of the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.

Integration of commercial drones with VR technology

Many industry segments such as infrastructure, tourism, agriculture, defense, oil and gas, and mining are investing heavily in workforce automation. This involves the integration of commercial drones with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Companies aim to reduce human error through the use of such drones as the integration of VR and AR into commercial drones offers companies solutions for workforce automation. For instance, in the defense sector, drones are directly deployed to relay real-time information about enemy locations, blast sites, and directions. The information can be remotely accessed by military personnel using AR technology. The information is used to design and implement effective strategies, identify access routes, and monitor physically inaccessible locations for military operations.

High adoption of commercial drone-enabled services in industrial sector

New areas such as warehouse management, servicing and maintenance, and training would benefit the most from the use of drones. The emergence of new devices such as tablets, smartphones, and other wearable devices integrated with drones has led to the development of apps for industrial maintenance. Drones can be used as a replacement of physical inspection in industries and play a major role in processes such as part analysis and simulation, staff support, and layout and construction planning or supervising.  

Rise in demand for commercial drone-enabled services in transportation sector

The ability of commercial drones to hover over remote locations makes them ideal for use in industry segments such as the transportation and logistics sector. Drones can be used to ship urgently needed parts or supplies to remote locations that are not easily served by other modes of transportation such as ground transportation or manned aircraft. Commercial drone-enabled services are expected to be increasingly used by multinational companies such as Amazon.com in warehouses and distribution centers for the delivery of small packages within their facilities.
