There is no doubt that the market potential is huge! Drones have entered our public’s attention probably in recent years because of the hot sales of DJI drones. But in fact, the development of drones can be traced back to the 1920s. In 1914, a radio-controlled aircraft was produced during World War I. This was the prototype of drones. Today's drones are mainly military aircraft. Civilian drones account for only 10% of the number of drones in China.
After 2018, with the maturity of military drone technology and the country’s encouragement and support for civilian drones, civilian drones are used in agriculture, commerce, aerial photography, medical care, entertainment, logistics, etc. The aspects are getting wider and wider. In recent years, with the development of artificial intelligence, drones have become smaller and cheaper, and ordinary people can afford drones. This has laid a good foundation for the popularization of drones!
In 2014, the number of drones worldwide reached 390,000. In 2017, the sales volume reached 3 million, and the market size reached US$6 billion. In China, the sales scale in 2018 has reached 10 billion, and the market potential is very huge!
There are three main categories in the civil drone market: consumer drones, government drones, and commercial drones;
If civilian drones can be more If the land is used in the consumer market, then there is so much that can be tapped into the Chinese market!
The successful development of anything depends on the right time, right place, right people and the right people! The drone market is no exception!
1. The state has issued many preferential policies to support the civilian drone market;
2. Due to the convenience of artificial intelligence, upstream manufacturing chains, etc., more drones are used Moving towards the consumer market;
3. Civilian demand is huge!
4. Drones can be used as the link port of the current Internet;
Currently, the top ten brands of drones in China:
1. DJI
2. Zero Degree Intelligent Control
3. Zhendi Technology
4. EHang
5. XAG Technology
6. Zhongke Remote Sensing
7. Keweitai
8. Intelligent Bird
9. Walkera

Among them, the leader is undoubtedly the DJI drone! DJI occupies more than 50% of the entire North American drone market.
In the future, the global drone industry will be in a rapid growth trend. The global market size of drones is expected to reach US$70 billion in 2025.
Precisely because the drone market is favored by capital, the drone industry is also an industry that venture capital is keen to invest in. Compared with other industries, the investment prospects are broader!
With money, policy support, and market demand, Kang Ge believes that drones in the future can develop better, but more problems need to be overcome, such as: real-time precise positioning, It is designed to fly autonomously in complex environments and solve currently unsolvable problems such as long-duration flights, large loads, and chips.
In addition, the development of drone application directions: Promote the integration of artificial intelligence and drones, agricultural plant protection, logistics and distribution, safe cruise, etc.; these are all issues that need to be considered in the future development of drones!
The drone industry is huge, so I’ll give you my humble opinion on what I know about drone aerial photography: drone aerial photography is mainly used for shooting advertisements, corporate videos, movies, and city introductions. Professional film and television companies and professional photographers will buy the shooting of large scenes with high viewing angles, which is a small part of them. With these high-end consumer groups who are willing to pay relatively good prices and pay great attention to picture quality, the market is really limited!
However, human nature determines that we will explore from a better and higher perspective, so there is no doubt that the prospects will be very good, the key is how to do it!
Let me ask, if the mobile phone can be controlled, the device can be more convenient to carry, for example, it can become a component of the mobile phone, and the price is very cost-effective, do you also want to buy it?
Travel, take it! (Enjoy that high-altitude shot of the scenery) Party, bring! (It feels really good to see everyone looking up from a high place) Internet celebrity, use it! Customers take pictures of their store fronts, use it! Take an overhead view and use...
Especially children born after 2000 are so familiar with the Internet, they can better identify the value of the product without being constrained.
The development prospects of drone photography are good. The number of customers is likely to increase by an order of magnitude, and the market potential is huge!
