Report Description

▪ In the past few years, the India commercial drone market witnessed substantial growth on account of increasing awareness, technological

advancement, and growing adoption across several verticals such as mining, filming & photography and agriculture in the country. The outbreak of

COVID-19 has highlighted the importance of drones in India and would act in favor of the drone industry in the coming years.. Additionally,

government initiatives such as the “Make in India”, which promotes the domestic manufacturing of drones, would further fuel the growth of

commercial drone market in India during the forecast period.

▪ According to 6Wresearch, India commercial drone market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of XX % during 2020-2026. Based on types,

rotary blade drones accounted for the highest market revenue and volume share in 2019 owing to its special advantage of vertical landing and take

off. Also, they could hover at one particular point and are best suited for the short range applications. However, significant growth is recorded in

fixed wings drones on account of its simple structure and longer duration at high speed.

▪ Though, commercial drones are widely accepted and implemented across several verticals, mapping & surveying holds the majority of revenue

share due to high accuracy and quality provided by such drones with relatively less manpower and low cost. Also, recently, the government of India

has employed drones for 3D digital mapping for road widening in Allahabad highway. Further, filming & photography application has also

registered significant share in India commercial drone market 2019.

▪ The India commercial drone market report comprehensively covers the India commercial drone market by types, applications, and regions. India

commercial drone market outlook report provides an unbiased and detailed analysis of the on-going India commercial drone market trends,

opportunities/high growth areas, market drivers which would help the stakeholders to device and align their market strategies according to the

India Commercial Drone Market Revenues & Volume

▪ India is using military drones for quite a while but the market for commercial drones stands at a nascent stage at present. However, there is a huge
potential recorded in the market for commercial drones and it is expected that commercial drone market would overtake the military drones
market in India in the coming years.
▪ The Indian market was majorly import driven prior to the implementation CAR 1.0 & 2.0 regulations and the Chinese company DJI held the
maximum share around 60% of the market but now there is a decline in DJI’s products due to the current policies & regulations, which makes NPNT
(No Permission No Take off) a mandatory software to be installed in every drone flying in India.
▪ Further, the government is supporting and promoting domestic manufacturing of drones and a 100% foreign direct investment is expected to be
allowed in the manufacturing of drones in the country in the coming years.

India Commercial Drone Market Revenues, By Applications

Presently, the mapping & surveying application holds the majority of revenue share in overall India commercial drone market on account of
increasing use of drones in the mining sector and mapping of pipelines, roads, and bridges. Additionally, the Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM) has issued
advisory guidelines for the use of drones in the mining industry. Also, at present, drones are being used by the Indian police for the purpose of
investigation and maintenance. They are also employed in the agriculture sector due to several reasons such as monitoring crop, irrigation, and soil
analysis. Thus, with the ongoing development and growing adoption, significant growth is expected in agriculture and filming & photography
verticals.

▪ India E-Commerce market accounted for 16% share in 2018 in overall logistics market and the same is expected to reach 28% by 2025.
Approximately, 12 crore people were recorded doing online shopping and the number is expected to reach 17.5 crore by the end of 2020, which
would add to the overall E-Commerce market in India.
▪ Further, Amazon, which is a leading player in E-Commerce industry has filed a patent to use its “Amazon’s Prime Air” delivery system in India and
other market players such as Flipkart and Zomato also have plans regarding drone delivery in India. Amazon has already tested that delivery of
products using drones would help the company in minimizing shipping costs as well as time to deliver the products.
▪ Additionally, Indian parliamentarian, Suresh Prabhu, at the time of policy launch of drones, said that the Indian market for drones has the potential
of hitting over INR 75.5 trillion and the government is planning to promote drones manufacturing not only for domestic use but for exports as well.
All these government initiatives along with the use of drones in E-commerce would uplift the commercial drone market in India in the coming
years.

11.2 Performance Indicators

India Agriculture Sector Overview

Impact of commercial drones has bought a positive trend in the
agriculture sector. They could be used as a substitute for heavy
machines and tools and is a economical way of managing farming.
Drones are helpful in multiple ways in agriculture such as irrigation,
pesticides spray, crop monitoring, soil assessment, and mapping the
crops. The images and data collected by a drone would help the farmers
to analyse the crop and make decisions accordingly. Additionally, the
government is also taking initiatives to teach the farmers how to operate
a drone. Also, state government of Maharashtra is planning to work with
drone manufacturing companies in agriculture sector and a workshop
was also conducted in November 2018, to study the process of mapping
for irrigation use in farms.
Table 4: Farm mechanization level in India, 2019
Value Chain Stage Level of Mechanization (%)
Government Policies to Support Farm Mechanization
• Sub-Mission on Agriculture Mechanization
o Increasing the reach of farm mechanization to small and
marginal farmers and to regions where the availability of
farm power is low.
o Promoting “Custom Hiring Centre” to offset the adverse
economies of scale arising due to small landholding and high
cost of individual ownership.
• Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana
o To achieve convergence of investment in irrigation at the
field level.
o Enhance the physical access of water on the farm and
expand the cultivable area under assured irrigation.
