Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2024-2036

Drone Battery Market size was valued at USD 9.58 Billion in 2023 and is likely to reach USD 99.18 Billion by the end of 2036, registering around 19.7% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2024-2036. In the year 2024, the industry size of drone battery is assessed at USD 11.28 Billion. The primary growth factor of the drone battery market is increasing demand from commercial consumers and increased application in security, filmmaking, and agricultural mapping, among others. Additionally, a growing number of startups are specializing in supplying drones with batteries for improved flight time and greater aerial accuracy. For instance, in 2022, the drone segment was projected to drop to approximately USD 3.5 billion.

Global drone battery market trends such as the rising utilization of drones for traffic monitoring, search and rescue, videography, and surveillance are projected to influence the growth of the market positively over the forecast period. It is observed that about 1.5 million people lose their lives on account of road traffic crash every year. Moreover, the higher utilization of lithium-based batteries is further expected to hike the growth of the market over the forecast period. For instance, in 2018, the total production of lithium-ion batteries reached around 300 gigawatt-hours. Lithium-based batteries are the most common type of batteries to be installed in drones since they provide high energy density compared to their size. Hence, such factors are estimated to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Drone Battery Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Growing Demand for Drones in Defense Sector - For instance, as of august 2020, 5 drones were approved by the unit of the U.S. Department of Defense Organization, Defense Innovation Unit for military and federal application. Defensive forces manage the defense system by continuously assessing and tracking the enemy's activity, which potentially results in military fatalities. To study enemy movement, drones (UAVs) are utilized as a key alternative. Drones are made so that they often quickly recognize regions that are vulnerable to terrorism-related problems. Therefore, such a higher requirement is anticipated to hike the growth of the drone battery market over the forecast period.
  • Rising Prevalence of UAVs across the Globe - In 2020, the project commercial drone sector was anticipated to generate a revenue of around USD 2.5 billion while the total spending on commercial UAVs is estimated to reach around USD 3 billion.
  • Ongoing Advancement in Smart Battery Technology - For instance, the total cost of the battery pack is projected to reach approximately 55 USD/kWh by the year 2030.
  • Increasing Requirements for Surveillance - As of 2020, approximately 31,000 drones were projected to be flying solely in the United States skies.

Challenges

  • Requirement for Higher Initial Investment - The requirement for higher initial investment is estimated to challenge the market growth. As per recent data, 1.1 billion dollars being invested in drone businesses in 2020. The market for commercial drones is anticipated to reach a value of $43.1 billion by 2024.
  • Lack of Awareness of the Drones
  • Constant Need for Expensive Maintenance
