3. Thales and DJI are leading players in Small Drones Market

Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (SUAVs) are remotely piloted aerial vehicles that play a significant role in the defense and commercial sectors. The small drones market is estimated at USD 13.40 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 40.31 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 17.04% from 2018 to 2025. The increasing use of small drones to carry out advanced patrolling of marine borders is one of the most significant factors projected to drive the growth of the market. The civilian use of small drones has slowly started garnering acceptance across the globe due to the easing of various regulations that prevented their usage in the civil sector earlier.

Northrop Grumman (US), Textron (US), Boeing (US), DJI (China), Parrot (France), 3D Robotics (US), and AeroVironment (US) are key players operating in the small drones market. These market players focus on securing contracts to enhance their market presence and widen their customer base. Leading market players are also focused on increasing investments in R&D activities to introduce new products in the small drones market.
