Organizations have benefitted from the applications of drones and its associated technologies, and thus to cater the demand of the future, major players such as DJI, Bosch Sensortec, TDK, and PrecisionHawk among others are investing in the drone sensor market.

Key Development:

In 2014, Parrot (France based drones manufacturer) invested USD 2 million in MicaSense to deliver drone-based sensing solutions for precision agriculture. MicaSense delivered hardware solutions for remote sensing from an unmanned aerial platform, and cloud-based analytics to provide crop health information. The company used the funding to expand its manufacturing capabilities and engineer new products. After consecutive sales growth over the years, Micasense announced 2018 to be a profitable year and its global expansion plans for coming years.

In March 2019, Spoondrift (ocean data provider) and OpenROV (manufacturer of underwater drones) announced their merger to form Sofar Ocean Technologies. The company aims to collect ocean data by developing pervasive sensors and drones transmitting information in real-time.

Intel acquired German drone company Ascending Technologies in Jan 2016. The two companies had already partnered to use Intel’s RealSense cameras to assist the drones with collision detection. Current Intel RealSense depth camera uses stereo vision to calculate depth.

The above examples exhibit an evolving drone sensor M&A environment. Over the past few years, dynamics of M&A in drone sensor market have grown expeditiously from a stagnant industry to concentric, horizontal & vertical M&A. This dynamic trend has persisted and is anticipated to continue over the forecast period

On the basis of Type, the global drone sensor market is primarily segregated into inertial sensors, image sensors, speed and distance sensors, position sensors, pressure sensors, light sensors, current sensors, and others. The image sensor holds the major share in the global drone sensor market in 2020, growing at a significant rate during the forecast period. The image sensor enables the drone to capture the image of the object by emitting the light wave, and then converting the attenuation of light waves into the signal.  Image sensor segment is witnessing robust growth as it offers high resolution imagery not only in visible spectrum but also in near-infrared parts of the spectrum.

On the basis of Application, the inspection and surveillance segment is accounted to hold the major market share, in terms of revenue. The market stood at USD xx million in 2019, and is estimated to reach USD xx million by 2027, while registering a CAGR of xx% during 2020-2027. The use of UAVs for inspection tasks is increasing at a considerable rate as they help in preventing risks along with minimizing costs for capturing images and videos. Moreover, the drones facilitate in livestock management and fisheries, land tenure and land use planning, surveying, humanitarian and emergency relief, crop damage assessment, stockpile estimation, inspection of fixed and mobile assets, scientific research, media production, real estate and tourism marketing, and small cargo delivery.

Regional Insight: North America held the major market share of xx% in 2020. Presence of major players in the region and advancement in drone technology places the region at the forefront in the global market. Asia-Pacific drone sensor market is likely to register the highest CAGR over the forecast period. With the advancement of technology in connectivity, the potential application of drones for videography has led to the major research & development activities in many end-use industries. The Europe drone sensor market was valued at USD xx million in 2020, and is expected to reach USD xx million by 2027 industry.The regional growth is attributed to the development of agile drones which can access unreachable places with high end sensors and cameras.
