The drone logistics and transportation market is estimated to be USD 11.20 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 29.06 Billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 21.01% from 2022 to 2027. Increasing demand for faster delivery in the logistics industry is expected to fuel the growth of the drone logistics and drone transportation market. Military forces are also exploiting the use of drones to resupply soldiers with equipment, spares, food, and ammunition in the battlefield.

The drone logistics market has been segmented on the basis of solution type, industry, cargo weight, and region. Based on cargo weight, the market has been further segmented into <10kg (delivery drones) and >10kg (cargo drones). The <10kg (delivery drones) segment is expected to lead the drone logistics market owing to the high demand for drones for first mile and last mile deliveries.

Based on industry, the drone logistics market has been segmented into military and commercial. The commercial segment is expected to lead the drone logistics market during the forecast period. This segment’s large market share is attributed to the large number of deliveries in the logistics industry, especially in the e-commerce sector.

Based on solution type, the drone logistics market has been segmented into warehousing & distribution, shipping solution, traffic management, infrastructure, and software. The shipping solution segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to increasing investment in the R&D of drones for package delivery.

Based on region, the drone logistics market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East. The market in North America is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing adoption of drones for package delivery by companies such as Amazon, DHL, and UPS.

Bandwidth issues and limited battery life of drones act as key challenges to the growth of the drone logistics market. Some of the major companies operating in the drone logistics market include PINC Solutions (US), CANA Advisors (US), Drone Delivery Canada (Canada), DroneScan (South Africa), Hardis Group (France), Infinium Robotics (Singapore), Matternet (US), and Workhorse Group (US). The strategy of new product launch has been majorly adopted by the leading players in the drone logistics market from 2014 to 2018.
