The security surveillance segment was valued at USD 166.06 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. There is an increasing demand in US for the security surveillance cameras owing to the increase in the number of school shootings over the past 20 years. For instance, there were more than 13 school shootings in the US till Mar 2023, which resulted in the deaths of six children, four adults, and several other people. Therefore, there is an increase in demand for drones with camera surveillance which can help can help to mitigate such threats. Another application of the security surveillance segment of the drone includes anti-cheating drones to stop cheating during exams. For instance, the Gaokao examination, the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) in China, also uses drone investigators to check on students involved in malpractices. Hence, such factors are expected to drive the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the growth of drone technology in the education sector market during the forecast period.
