2018 Drone Market Sector Survey

We just announced the launch of our third annual Drone Market Sector Research Survey, which promises to be our most comprehensive study of drone market trends and usage to date. The online portion of this research seeks to get information about who is buying and using small unmanned aircraft systems—otherwise known as drones. It improves upon the 2017 research by, among other things:

What’s new?

This year’s research is designed to uncover fresh insights on which drone industry sectors are thriving (and which aren’t) and how businesses are using drone-acquired data in their day-to-day operations. Skylogic Research hopes the survey results will fill a gap in knowledge and understanding of the commercial drone industry around:

Actual drone and drone data usage (most reports forecast use but don’t survey actual users)
How and why operators and users are deploying drones now and how/why they plan to grow their use in the future
Baseline statistics for market share among the brands as well as information about the size of service providers, enterprises, and businesses that have drone programs
The online portion of this year’s research seeks to get information about who is buying and using small unmanned aircraft systems.

Our previous studies have found that more consumer drones are being used for professional use than ever before, the U.S. market is flooded with service providers and remote pilots but very few make enough money to sustain a full-time venture, and film / photo / video dominates both the hobby and professional uses of drones. This year’s study will continue to challenge these insights and explore further the sustainability of drone service providers
