Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or drones are aircrafts which can be operated remotely by a pilot or by pre-programmed schedules or automation systems, allowing it to fly autonomously. A wide range of industries and organizations, including military, government, industrial and recreational users, deploy this technology across the globe. As the drone technology advances, these aircrafts are expected to become more popular and affordable. Rising adoption of UAVs in civil and commercial application, increasing deployment of UAV in border patrolling and combating terrorism, and regulations by the federal aviation administration (FAA) to permit the use of UAVs in several industries are the key factors driving the growth of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market. However, the restrictions imposed on the commercial use of UAVs in various countries are anticipated to obstruct the growth of this market to some extent.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Market
UAV manufacturers worldwide are struggling to meet production deadlines as the coronavirus continues to impact Chinese electronic component manufacturing industries. A growing number of component suppliers worldwide are also experiencing slowdowns or shutdowns in response to the COVID-19, which affects the availability of sub-components in a snowball effect.
China is the home for major consumer electronics manufacturers. After the outbreak of COVID-19, many technology sectors are facing new challenges in the supply chain. It has been almost two decades since the SARS virus spread across China, affecting thousands of people in the country and heavily impacting the global economy. The Chinese economy accounted for only 4% of the world's GDP back in 2003; however, it accounts for around 16% in 2020. China has made the world heavily dependent on its manufacturing capabilities since 2003. However, after the WHO's official announcement of the coronavirus outbreak in January 2020, exports from China have reduced significantly. As a result, UAV industries across the world that are dependent on imports of battery, gimbal, camera, or a small piece of plastic manufactured from China have suffered severe setbacks. For instance, the U.S.-based Skydio assembles UAVs in the U.S., but the company is suffering from the supply-chain disruption caused by the slowdown in manufacturing of the parts.
Further, as per the press release of DJI (the largest UAV manufacturer in the world), DJI is working to limit the impact on customers but says that shortages may occur. Also, disruptions in the supply chain due to COVID-19 have slowed down the shipments of UAVs to major markets across the globe.

Meticulous Research® predicted that the UAV market growth would be somewhat staggered during 2020, owing to a limited military spending by countries, globally. Several of the defense contracts that were slated to commercialize in 2020 have been put on hold due to the pandemic, forcing countries to focus their spending on healthcare sector. Meticulous Research® estimates a major dip in terms of revenue generated from military contracts. A bulk of revenue generated in military segment would come from renewals, and refurbishment activities. An optimistic opinion cites the recovery from COVID-19 by August which would offer vendors in the market with new revenue generation opportunities.
However, the decline from military segment is in tandem to the growth and adoption of UAVs in non-military applications. The commercial and civil applications would continue to generate new revenue prospects for the global unmanned aerial vehicles market amidst the COVID-19 epidemic. Meticulous Research® estimates that the global unmanned aerial vehicle market revenue and demand will reflect fast recovery and the market would take less time to get back on track for a moderate pace growth. The bigger picture that has emerged amidst the coronavirus pandemic highlights the rising importance and usability of UAVs/drones in conducting automated operations, thereby safeguarding human safety in critical situations like these.
The overall unmanned aerial vehicle market study presents historical market data in terms of value and volume (2018 and 2019), estimated current data (2020), and forecasts for 2027.
