The increasing acceptance of drone deployment in military operations has prompted suppliers to produce drones that may be used in many commercial applications. Drones are also being used for various purposes, such as providing internet access in rural areas, aerial photography and video recording, surveying and documenting animals, and public service missions. Several firms primarily provide tiny drones for agricultural, aerial photography, and data collecting purposes. Drone-assisted home deliveries have become a reality because of the efforts of logistics and retail organizations such as Amazon and UPS to implement the technology. Because commercial drones can travel at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour and transport products weighing less than 5 pounds, the delivery mechanism is projected to reduce delivery time and related expenses. Increased investments in drone technology are also expected to drive long-term industry growth. 

Increasing adoption of drones in the commercial sector: The commercial sector has been one of the key drivers of the growth of the drone market. Drones are increasingly being used for various applications, such as delivery services, surveying, inspection, and monitoring. For example, Amazon is using drones for package delivery, while companies like DJI are developing drones specifically for commercial applications such as agriculture and construction. Based on SkyQuest analysis, according to a report, in the first half of 2023, Asia-Pacific dominated global drone deliveries by 43%. 

North America dominates the global drone market due to the presence of leading drone manufacturers and a high adoption rate of drone technology. The United States is the largest market for drones in the region, driven by the increasing demand for drone applications in the military, defense, and commercial industries. There has been presence of drone manufacturers and companies on a larger scale, simultaneously supporting research and development, signifies the North America’s leading position. Furthermore, government policies and basic funding for the drones in defense and commercial sectors contribute to the continuous innovations in drone technology within the region. In addition, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has developed regulations to support the safe and legal use of drones in the United States.
