Although the market is currently in the growing stage, it is expected to generate high demand in the next few years. According to the recent report released in January 2022 by Federal Aviation Administration, 329,114 commercial drones (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) were registered. In addition, drone manufacturers are funded to develop advanced products. For instance, in December 2021, DRONE FUND, a Japan-based venture capital company invested around USD 90 million (JPY 10 billion) in Wingcopter. Also, in July 2021, Pentagon invests $13.4 million to boost drone start-ups.
Privacy and security concerns

Aerial imaging, green mapping, LiDAR, GIS services, and other such applications are concerned with capturing landscape information including photographs and imagery solutions through drones with the help of EO/IR and other systems. To protect the private space of the public and issues related with national security, governments of various nations have formulated laws, which restrict the growth of this market. For instance, in the North American market, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has stated that UAVs can fly only up to 500 ft. above ground level and are not allowed in a radius of 3 miles around airports or flying strips. In addition, because of the cyber-security risks involved with drones, many administrations have enacted bans or limits on drone possession. For instance, in April 2021, Legislator Huang Kuo-shu of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of Taiwan has issued a guideline warning against the procurement of drones for made-in-China aerial photography, robots, and coding platforms and subsequent phasing out of the existing equipment. The announcement was made owing to the cybersecurity loophole on consumer electronics manufactured in China.

Moreover, they are not allowed to violate any privacy acts, security laws, and cannot invade flight restricted and National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) zones. However, regulations stated by FAA and other governments are still under development, hence, no proper regulatory framework is defined for this market. The rise in the implementation of drones in multifaceted applications has also increased the cyber-security threat for its users. Hackers can potentially take advantage of drones by gaining access to the drones' unencrypted Wi-Fi and GPS technologies.

Increased application areas for GIS, LiDAR, mapping services, and others

An increase in demand for GIS, LiDAR, and mapping services from sectors such as Agriculture, construction, infrastructure, and inventory management fuels the growth of the market. Commercial drones are now making a significant effect in applications that take advantage of their abilities to capture localized visual data quickly and affordably. In addition, with the use of LiDAR, GIS, and other mapping services, the agriculture industry is seeing effective changes in yield output, improved crop health management, and improved soil conditions. Real estate and civil engineering sectors are advancing in terms of new technology adoption such as multidimensional modeling, architectural planning, and monitoring civil engineering projects. In addition, Drone-based solutions save time and increase workflow and are used for various purposes, including research & exploration, archeological surveys, mining, cargo management, telecom network management, oil & gas resource management, and others. In addition, the rise in application areas creates demand for advanced drone systems and is expected to boost market growth during the forecast period.
