Drone Payload Market is expected to garner $7,018 million by 2022, registering a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period 2016-2022. Aircrafts which have the capability to fly autonomously with the help of embedded program or which can be remotely operated are called as drones. They are also officially referred to as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), unmanned aircraft system (UAS), unmanned aircraft vehicle system (UAVS), remotely piloted aerial vehicle (RPAV), remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS), and others. The additional weight that can be attached to these drones excluding the weight of the drone itself is considered as drone payload, which includes cameras, communication devices, weapon systems, sensors, and others. UAV loaded with such devices are used for numerous applications such as aerial imaging, LiDAR applications, security & surveillance, cargo management, weather monitoring, traffic control, green mapping, and others. Drone payload market finds varied applications among sectors such as defense, agriculture and environment, media & entertainment, energy, government, and others.

Privacy and security concerns
Privacy issues and national security regulations are expected to negatively affect the market in the coming years. Aerial services sometimes require filming and photography in civilian areas, which affect the privacy of people. Most of the countries in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East do not have effective rules for aerial imaging & mapping services. On the contrary, countries such as the U.S. and the UK have regulations specified for aerial services, but there is a lack of clarity and implementation in the regulatory framework, which would negatively affect the growth of the market.

High-resolution satellite imagery as a substitute
Earlier, satellite imagery was a costly proposition, but now companies focus on developing technologically advanced, high-precision, and cost-effective imagery solutions. One such example is WorldView-3 satellite by DigitalGlobe, which offers high-definition panchromatic images. Services such as mapping, GIS, LiDAR, surveillance, and others can be performed by satellites. In addition, satellite services do not have any regulatory issues as opposed to aerial imagery, thus negatively affecting the growth of drone payload industry during the forecast period.
Increase in budgetary expenses in military
Governments in various countries such as the U.S., the UK, China, India, Russia, and others are investing substantially in improvement of their defense portfolio. Major portion of the annual budgets is spent on R&D activities, armory development, and others. Moreover, it is observed that monetary expenses on unmanned systems for water, land, and air have increased by developed as well as developing nations. This is expected to witness rise in the future and is expected to supplement the growth of the world drone payload market.
Increased application areas for GIS, LiDAR, mapping services, and others
Increase in demand for GIS, LiDAR, and mapping services from various sectors such as agriculture, energy, defense, tourism, and others fuels the growth of the drone payload industry. Agriculture sector is experiencing effective changes in yield production, enhanced crop health management, and improved soil condition with the implementation of LiDAR, GIS, and other mapping services. Defense sector utilizes drone payload services for safeguarding border areas, preparing border maps, performing rescue operations, and others. 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. Additionally, drone payloads are applicable for various purposes, including research & exploration, archeological surveys, mining, cargo management, telecom network management, oil & gas resource management, and others. The rise in application areas is expected to boost the growth of the Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) payload market during the forecast period.

Drone payload, which includes cameras, sensors, communication devices, and weapons have experienced increased acceptance among government, agriculture, construction, energy, and military sector over the past few years. This is attributed to increase in demand for various operations such as surveillance, precision agriculture, safeguarding border areas, preparing border maps, multidimensional modeling, architectural planning, monitoring civil engineering projects, and others. In addition, drone payload is increasingly being used in the agriculture sector for applications such as green mapping, estimation of crop health, estimation of soil productivity, conservation of forests, water resource management, and others. Governments in various countries such as the U.S., the UK, China, India, Russia, and others are also investing substantially in combat UAVs to improve their defense portfolios. For instance, in February 2016, Defence Ministry of Russia designed their latest payload system for Granat-4 UAV, one of the major drones used for surveillance operations by Russian military. This payload system is used to perform operations related to signals intelligence (SIGINT). Various new products are being offered by drone payload market players to meet the growing demand of consumers. For instance, in July 2016, Elbit Systems Ltd. introduced SPECTRO XR (Extra Range) payload system, which is a multispectral electro-optical ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance) system used for surveillance, rescue & search operations, and fire control missions.
Increased adoption of sensor payload for inspection of pipelines, natural resource management, emergency response, 3D mapping, site estimation, and package delivery are projected to drive the drone payload market for energy, construction & archeology, media & entertainment, tourism, insurance, transportation, and others. Asia-Pacific is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period due to decrease in prices of raw materials coupled with increase in application areas such as construction, agriculture, and government sectors. North America is expected to contribute significantly to the global revenue due to early adoption of drones, increased military expenses for UAVs, supportive regulations by Federal Aviation Administration of the United States, growing use of drones in government & defense, construction, and media sector. The drone payload market is characterized by the presence of numerous players. Drone payload industry players have constantly upgraded and launched innovative products and services to strengthen their market position and cater to a wide customer base. For instance, in September 2016, SZ DJI Technology Co., Ltd. announced the launch of its latest portable drone, Mavic Pro, which is an advanced UAV with features such as stabilized 4K camera and visual navigation system. Initiatives such as introduction of drones for live broadcasting of sport events through high-definition cameras have accelerated the adoption of drone payload by media and entertainment industry worldwide.
