Usage of Drones in Healthcare and Logistics Sectors Propelled Market Expansion Amid the Pandemic
Drones were extensively used to disinfect public spaces and deliver medical supplies to remote areas during the COVID-19 pandemic. They were also used for contactless delivery of goods. For instance, Zipline, a drone delivery company, joined forces with the Ghana government to deliver COVID-19 vaccines and other medical supplies to remote areas of the country. Moreover, drone services were used in the logistics sector during the pandemic. These uses of drones have aided the market growth during the pandemic.
Surging Product Demand for Surveillance and Attack Operations Amid the Russia-Ukraine War Aided Market Expansion
The Russia-Ukraine war has propelled the usage of drones for military purposes as both countries are using them to monitor each other’s activities. This, in turn, boosted the demand for drones for reconnaissance and surveillance missions. For instance, in March 2023, the Ukraine government announced its plans of expanding its drone program for attacking enemy targets from longer distances. The government also announced that it is collaborating with more than 80 Ukraine-based drone manufacturers. However, drone services demand for commercial and civilian use decreased due to the ongoing war.

Increasing Government Initiatives and Investments to Boost Market Proliferation
The rising government initiatives supporting drone technology are driving market proliferation. Governments are investing in drone technology for various purposes such as construction, agriculture, environmental monitoring, and so on.

Moreover, 'Drone Shakti' mission was announced in the Union Budget 2022 with the aim to promote drone-as-a-service and provide support to drone startups. Governments are also investing in drone technology to support their military and security operations. These government initiatives are attributing to drone services market growth in the forecast timeframe.
