Drone Sensors Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Platform (Fixed Wing, Hybrid) Application (Data Acquisition, Navigation), End User (Aerial Photography, Defense, Geographic Mapping, Security) and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Drone Sensors Market is accounted for $521.98 million in 2020 and is expected to reach $2,538.29 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 21.2% during the forecast period. The increasing need for high resolution imaging for navigation & mapping and rising advancement in drones are the factors driving the market growth. However, the lack of awareness regarding drone systems is hampering market growth.
A drone sensor can be defined as a system that can determine changes that occur in terms of physical or electrical variations as well as other quantities. Drones utilize air pressure sensors to stabilize altitude, allowing hover capabilities needed for videography.
Based on the platform, the hybrid segment is going to have lucrative growth during the forecast period due to the increasing use of hybrid drones in the military and agriculture sector as it can fly for a longer time and has better payload capacity.
By geography, Asia Pacific is going to have high growth during the forecast period owing to factors such as the presence of major sensor vendors in this region along with favourable government regulations.
Some of the key players profiled in the Drone Sensors Market include AMS AG, FLIR System, Infineon Technologies AG, KVH Industries, Lord Microstrain, MicaSense, PrecisionHawk, Raytheon, Robert Bosch GmbH, Sentera, Inc, SlantRange, Inc, Sparton NavEx, TDK InvenSense, TE connectivity, and Trimble.
