Drone-in-a-box solution is an emerging form of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology that uses drones that deploy from and return to self-contained landing boxes. Moreover, traditional drones, or UAVs, consist of both a non-manned aircraft and some form of ground-based controller. Whereas drone-in-a-box solutions, on the other hand, deploys drone autonomously from a box that also functions as a landing pad and charging base. After carrying out a pre-programmed list of instructions, they return to their base to charge and/or upload information. Furthermore, stand-alone drone-in-a-box solutions are composed of three main components a ground station that charges & shelters the drone, the drone itself, and a computer management system that allows the operator to interact with the system, including multiple drones. The ground station also provides battery charging and conducts health checks and can be made of either metal or carbon fibre. Drone-in-a-box solution has improved the portability of drones and hassle-free usage in mobile location without any issue of charging. In addition, it is being used by military & defense for tactical missions, monitoring activities, traffic management, and others.

Market Scope and Structure Analysis:

COVID-19 Impact Analysis: 
Due to COVID-19 pandemic government across the all the major countries have announced lockdown leading to various business shutdowns. This has led to disruption in manufacturing of drone-in-a-box solutions. Moreover, due to economic slowdown and more focus on health budget, many countries have reduced their defense budget thus affecting the demand for drone-in-a-box solutions. Furthermore, due lockdown there was unavailability of raw materials required for manufacturing of drone-in-a-box solutions. In addition, due to social distancing & travelling restriction norms there was unavailability of skilled labour required for developing of software for drone-in-a-box solutions. Drones are an evolving sector which had a slight setback due to the pandemic, but it is expected to recover post pandemic and drive growth of drone-in-a-box solutions market.

Top Impacting Factors 

• Rise in military & defense expenditure, rise in use of drone for commercial purpose, and rise in use of drone-in-a-box in photography & film production is expected to drive growth of the market.   
• However, high cost of devices & components and lack of skilled drone operator can hamper growth of the market.
• Moreover, rise in demand for new technology, rise in demand for drone with advanced technology, and rise in use of drones by military for tactical mission can act as an opportunity for market growth.

Market Trends

Rise in use of drone for commercial purpose

Rise in drone technology and use of drone for various commercial purposes is driving growth of the market. The private security agencies have started using drone for surveillance which has enabled them to provide better security with lesser workforce. For instance, in 2021 Polish autonomous drone start-up Dronehub is teaming up with European property monitoring company RCS Engineering to develop a security system that specializes in security-detection and drone technology. Moreover, with the new integration, RCS’s breach detection software would trigger autonomous drones to respond to property invasion incidents, reducing the cost of manned security. Furthermore, in 2020, security solution provider Bavak Security Group and Azur Drones, leader in drone-in-a-box systems for surveillance, announce the signing of a distribution agreement for Skeyetech UAV system. In 2018, CERTUS Port Automation signed an agreement with drone company Percepto to deploy the autonomous drone-in-a-box solution to enhance port security thus, becoming the first company in the sector to embrace the technology. Therefore, rise in use of drones for commercial purpose is expected to drive growth of drone-in-a-box solutions market.
