Marketing Overview and Dynamics

The Indian drone market is anticipated to grow at a rate of 18% over the 2022-2028 forecast timeframe. It is estimated that the Indian Drone market surpassed US$920 million in 2021. While the majority of use for drones is expected by the defense and military sector but it is also evident that the Indian drone market has been currently experimenting and looking into the application and use of drones within other industries too.

• With the advent of Kisan drones, there is a chance that agriculture will benefit from more drone-based interventions that will increase efficiency through crop analysis and the spraying of insecticides and nutrients.
• Additionally, the entertainment and media industry will account for a significant portion of the Indian drone market due to the increasing utilization of drone cinematography.

In the COVID-19 epidemic UAVs during the COVID-19 pandemic (UAVs) were instrumental in playing a crucial function in many fields, including police, health product delivery, and delivery e-commerce. But, because of the intermittent lockdowns in various nations around the globe that produce and distribute UAVs and other related components, supply chains for production are being slowed or stopped because of a shortage of raw materials and staff needed to perform manufacturing and assembly processes.

While there are numerous potentials in the market for UAV or component producers from the US to export their products to India however, it must be not forgotten that the manufacturing sector is growing and the competitive landscape in India is expanding, to serve defense and civil needs.

Segmental Analysis

• Based on type, Fixed wing drones constitutes a major market share of about 44% as fixed-wing drones have a flexible flying time, range, and speed which are ideal for military, surveillance, and other emerging applications.
• Based on application, demand tends to be higher for mapping and surveying which comprises numerous uses of drones ranging from large-scale mapping, urban modeling, defense monitoring, etc.
• Based on payload, Microdrones, that carry a weight of more than 250gm but less than 2 kgs constitute the key market share. The reason for this demand is its quick navigation and the benefits of high communication range operations. Moreover, its less weight is an added advantage.

Competition Analysis

Due to the presence of many well-established companies in the Indian drone sector, there is intense competition. In order to preserve a competitive advantage in the market, local businesses are developing new, advanced technologies and innovations as the government has boosted its investment in drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It is imperative that India is an import-driven market for drones and UAVs.
