Drone Software Market

Global Drone Software Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Architecture (Open Source and Closed Source), by Offering (Application-Based Software and Desktop-Based Software), by Technology (Advanced Computing and Learning & Intelligence), by Application (Analytics, Image Processing, and Control & Data Capture), and by End-User (Military and Commercial) Forecast Period (2022-2028)

Published: Jun 2022 | Report Code: OMR2026725 | Category : Software & Solutions | Delivery Format: /

The global drone software market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 16.9% during the forecast period. Drones or unmanned armed vehicles (UAVs) are highly demanded owing to their various benefits including high-quality videos, pictures, emergency response, and others across the end-users. Such benefits have exponentially raised the demand for drones and their software or solutions, which allow drones to execute missions, and capture images & videos for different applications. In addition, drones are also widely being adopted in commercial industries such as infrastructure, logistics, and others to improve the quality of services with comparatively less time, which is supporting the market growth. According to Amazon.com, Inc., in 2022, the company announced to deliver products using drones in California by the end of 2022. The service is claimed to be the first to provide prime air drone deliveries in the US.

However, owing to the lack of skilled and trained professionals to operate drones due to less number of training and certifications institutes is considered to be the primary reason which is hindering the growth of the market.

Segmental Outlook 

The global drone software market is segmented based on architecture, offering, technology, application, and end-user. Based on the architecture, the market is segmented into open source and closed source. Based on the offering, the market is sub-segmented into application-based software and desktop-based software. Based on technology, the market is segmented into advanced computing and learning & intelligence. Based on the application, the market is segmented into analytics, image processing, and control & data capture. Based on the end-user, the market is segmented into military and commercial. The above-mentioned segments can be customized as per the requirements.  Among the architecture, the open source segment is anticipated to hold a significant share in the global drone software market. The market is primarily driven due to its flexibility. Open source software is available publicly and can be modified as per the requirement of the consumers.
