Drone package delivery is defined as the use of an unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV) to deliver food, packages, medical supplies, and goods. It
is used for delivering packages to consumers during the last mile delivery
process. The drone consists of 4 to 8 propellers, rechargeable batteries, and
can carry lightweight containers. It can also be operated autonomously through
artificial intelligence (AI) technology or remotely through distribution
centers and operators which oversee the flight. The growing e-commerce sector along
with the rising demand for express delivery of goods is majorly augmenting the
market for drone package delivery. In addition, the rising popularity of
quick-service restaurants and the growing inclination towards quick delivery of
farm-fresh food items are also boosting the demand for drone
package delivery. Furthermore, the rising penetration of automated
delivery solutions combined with rising concerns about the traffic congestion is
resulting in the delayed delivery process, is further likely to propel the requirement
for delivery drones. In addition to this, the increasing adoption of long-range
delivery drones by various military and disaster management units for supplying
food packages and medicines during natural calamities is also enhancing the
market growth. In the healthcare sector, the increasing utilization of aerial
delivery solutions for distributing blood specimens, drugs, and first aid
services, during medical emergencies is also compelling the market. Apart from
this, the increasing integration of drone package delivery systems with
sensors, landing pads, night-vision cameras, collision control equipment, etc.,
is further propelling the Drone Package Delivery market growth. Various
innovative technologies, such as AI, GPS, IoT, cloud computing, etc., have resulted
in the emergence of highly-advanced delivery drones. These technologies provides
many benefits, such as real-time monitoring, integrated flight planning, air
traffic management, easy navigation, and smooth delivery of packages, therefore
catalyzing the global market for drone package delivery. On contrary, the
restricted bandwidth and battery life of aerial delivery drones will hamper the
market growth.
The use of drones for the delivery of packages is projected
to create growth opportunities for several stakeholders of the drone package
delivery ecosystem, such as drone manufacturers, drone infrastructure
providers, drone service providers and drone as a software service provider,
among others. The companies are anticipated to witness major growth in the
coming years due to the substantial investments in drone technologies across
the world. The UAV industry has been witnessing major investments from private
companies, venture capitalists, and financial institutions over the past few
years.
