Hi dataportl community!
We're bringing something new to the dataportl newsletter: our market analysis is now on YouTube.
When most people think of drones, consumer models are probably what come to mind. The ones used for photography, travel and, occasionally, flying somewhere they probably shouldn't.
But that's only one part of a much larger market.
For Episode 2 of our Robotics series, we've been looking at the other side of the industry: service drones being used across agriculture, surveying, inspection and other commercial applications.
And when we compared the two markets using dataportl data, we found a pretty significant difference between how many drones are being shipped and where the value actually sits.
What's in the video?
How the consumer and service drone markets compare
The very different picture you get from shipments and revenues
Why service drones are growing
How different commercial applications require very different hardware
What changes in the US could mean for the competitive landscape
And ultimately, which market presents the bigger opportunity for component suppliers
