In 2019, the quadcopters segment accounted for the largest Drone Telematics Market share. A quadcopter is a type of rotary drone that is lifted and propelled by four rotors. In the quadcopter, two propellers spin clockwise, while the other two spin counterclockwise, which helps it fly. Moreover, due to four rotors, quadcopters are easy to control and can hover as well. Quadcopters also have extensive maneuverability in crowded places and better vertical take-off and landing capability.
Fixed Wing
The fixed-wing segment is expected to record a steady growth rate during the forecast period. Fixed-wing drones are equipped with wings as opposed to vertical lift rotors; these drones are the most efficient. They are capable of being controlled by ailerons, elevators, and rudders, which are integrated into the wings. These drones can cover long distances, map large areas, and are suitable for long-duration monitoring. They also offer various advantages such as long lifespan, extensive area coverage, and fast flight speed.
Â
The long-range segment is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, 2020 to 2026. The increasing demand for long-range drones in military applications is expected to drive the growth of this segment.Medium Range
The medium range segment dominated the global drone telematics market in 2019. This is due to the increasing use of medium-range drones by commercial end-users for recreational photography & videography, drone racing, and fishing.Short Range
The short-range segment is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, 2020 to 2026. This growth can primarily be attributed to the increase in the use of short-range drones by the end-users.
The military & defense segment is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, primarily due to the high adoption of drones in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions by the military forces.Commercial
The commercial segment is expected to witness significant during the forecast period. Factors such as the increasing number of start-ups, decline in drone costs, and high competition are further boosting the demand for commercial drones in the global market.Consumers
The consumers segment is expected to witness steady growth in CAGR during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increasing use of drones for drone racing and fishing.
North America dominates the drone telematics market. This region is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period due to the presence of several prominent players such as EnVue Telematics, LLC, Verizon Telematics Inc., and Google LLC and the high investments made by these companies in the development of advanced drone telematics solutions.Europe
The increasing adoption of drones by the air forces in Europe for performing surveillance and reconnaissance missions is expected to boost the demand for drone telematics solutions in the global Drone Telematics Market during the forecast period.Asia-Pacific
The market in this region is projected to expand with a high CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing defense expenditure and rising terrorist activities in countries, such as India, China, Indonesia, and Australia, have significantly increased the demand for drones for combat operations. This is expected to drive the growth of the drone telematics market in Asia-Pacific during the forecast period.Middle East & Africa
The increase in defense expenditures by countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Israel is driving the market growth in the Middle East & Africa.Latin America
In Latin America, there has been an increase in the use of drones for intelligence gathering on drug trafficking and rebel groups, deforestation monitoring, and control of illegal migration, which is expected to drive the growth of the Drone telematics market during the forecast period.
