The Delivery Drones Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 40.0% from 2021 to 2028 to reach USD 1,295.2 million by 2028 from USD 122.7 million in 2021. The growth of this market is mainly driven by the increasing demand for faster deliveries, technological advancements in drones, and the rising need to reduce carbon emissions. The high cost of infrastructure and the limited battery life of aerial Delivery drones are factors restraining market growth. Additionally, rising private investments in the drones industry and the increase in e-commerce sales and demand for contactless deliveries during the COVID-19 pandemic have created many opportunities for the players operating in this market. However, stringent government regulations for UAVs and delivery drones’ susceptibility to hacking and data breaches are major challenges for the growth of this market.
