Market status

1. Market size

With the gradual maturity of UAV technology and the reduction of manufacturing cost and entry threshold, the consumer UAV market has erupted, while the civil UAV market is on the eve of the outbreak.

According to the data, the scale of China's civil UAV market has increased from 7.9 billion yuan in 2017 to 22 billion yuan in 2019, with an average annual compound growth rate of 66.88%.

It is expected that the market scale will reach 453 in 2022.

Civil UAVs are mainly divided into consumer UAVs and industrial UAVs.

The data show that China's consumer UAV market accounts for 65.12% and industrial UAV market accounts for 34.88%.

Development prospect

1. Cost advantage is good for Industry Development

China has a complete electronic industry chain, and UAV enterprises can purchase electronic components with excellent performance at a lower price.

In addition, at present, almost all consumer UAVs are equipped with lithium batteries, while China's lithium batteries are at the forefront of the world in terms of performance and price, and the cost advantage is conducive to the development of the industry.

At present, with the help of Dajiang and other enterprises, China has a certain leading advantage in UAV technology. Based on this, in 2021, with the continuous emergence of industrial capital, the layout of relevant enterprises is significantly accelerated, the commercial pace such as 5g and artificial intelligence is deepened, the new infrastructure and other strategies are further implemented, and the development of civil UAVs is also progressing.

With the acceleration of population aging, the proportion of working age population in China has decreased year by year.

At the same time, the human cost remains high, and the problems of recruitment and employment are particularly obvious.

At the same time, modern people have gradually improved their awareness of labor protection and are unwilling to engage in boring, high-risk and hard work. In the fields of commercial aerial photography, surveying and mapping, electric power line patrol, environmental protection, agricultural monitoring, agricultural plant protection and so on, industrial UAVs can replace humans to a great extent.
