Global Drone Services Market Trends

Opportunity Development of alternative modes of transport

In 2020, the global population comprised 56.2% of the urban population. With the growing urban population, transportation systems are required to be proficiently managed to enable mass mobility. Cities worldwide are, hence, looking for alternative modes of transportation to solve issues linked with traffic congestion. It is expected that urban air mobility with autonomous drones can decrease pollution levels, reduce transport time, and lower the strain on existing transport systems. Dubai, Singapore, Los Angeles, and Dallas are testing with Urban Air Mobility projects. Air taxis are expected to be a promising market in the upcoming era since they make traveling safe and comfortable. The chief objective of urban air mobility is to enable intracity transportation to reduce the strain on currently existing urban mobility solutions.

Challenges: High investment costs to develop urban air mobility infrastructure network

With more than 250 businesses planning to build or operate UAM vehicles, a large number of industry players are working across the value chain to make this idea a real-life experience. The resultant flying vehicles would be energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and autonomous. However, one of the associated challenges is the projected costs of building UAM infrastructure for take-off, landing, maintenance, charging of batteries, and/or refueling of tanks. Key among these infrastructures are Vetihubs, Vetibases and Vertipads.
