Energy Storage Market for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs): Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post-COVID-19 era. The growing affordability and popularity of UAVs among hobbyists are notably driving the energy storage market growth for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), although factors such as SWaP and other network-based constraints may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the energy storage industry for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Energy Storage Market Driver for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
- The growing affordability and popularity of UAVs among hobbyists are one of the key drivers fueling the energy storage market growth for drones.
- The rapid advances in technology and the economies of scale resulting from higher production have led to a decline in drone prices, making them accessible to hobbyists and enthusiasts.
- Numerous manufacturers sell drones that have identical functioning, leading to intense competition in the global UAV market, which, in turn, is driving down the cost of drones as manufacturers strive to maintain or increase their market shares.
- As of May 2019, China's Shenzhen Hubsan Technology Co. Ltd. was offering quadcopter UAVs for prices as low as $65 and $69. This decline in drone prices is encouraging more consumers to buy UAVs. Such an increase in demand will drive the growth of the market for drones during the forecast period.
Key Energy Storage Market Trend for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
- The use of artificial intelligence in autonomous UAVs is one of the key energy storage market trends for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) supporting the market growth.
- The use of aerial artificial intelligence (AI) will enable the generation of loads of real-time data, which will open up new avenues for analyzing the captured data and studying complex physical structures or terrains.
- Due to the benefits of incorporating AI with UAVs, several companies have started offering the installation of AI software in drones.
- Nano-drones lack autonomous navigation capabilities as their computational power is constrained by their small form factor. However, the advent of AI is expected to overcome these limitations in the future. Therefore, the need to increase operational efficiency is leading to the introduction of AI in the global UAV market, which will lead to the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
Key Energy Storage Market Challenge for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
- SWaP and other network-based constraints is one of the challenges limiting the energy storage market growth for drones.
- The need for smart sensors with increased /imagery capabilities is driving the payload capacity of UAVs.
- As each subsystem requires a certain amount of power to maintain its optimal performance. Hence, the integration of many payloads in a single UAV requires an uninterrupted supply of a large quantity of power.
- The restrictions on defense spending for technology development have forced many integrators to turn toward standards such as VPX for their payload designs.
- Small UAVs need to be outfitted with more mission autonomy for increased situational awareness. Thus, it is challenging for developers to integrate more sensor modules onboard a UAV system and still adhere to the SWaP footprint of current propulsion systems. This, in turn, is hampering the growth of the energy storage for drones market.
This energy storage market for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
