Market share analysis of drone motor based on drone type and region is provided in a nutshell in the above image. Under the drone type segment, the rotary wing sub-segment dominates with 56.6% market share in 2022.

What’s Driving Demand for Drone Motor?

“Lightweight and Small Drone Motors and Accessories the Way Ahead.”

The most significant aspect of a drone and its motor are their weight and size. Countries across the globe differentiate small and large or light and heavy drones. For example, the Dutch Human Transport and Environment Inspectorate makes a distinction between heavy drones and light drones.

The weight of heavy drones is more than 150 kg, while light drones are lighter than 150 kg. The development of drones and integral parts such as motor are currently focused on making lighter and smaller drone parts for the general public. Heavy drones are mainly used for security and military purposes. Motors enhance the ability of drones to carry more payloads.

Therefore, a great shift can be seen from heavy drones to lighter drones. This calls for changing the category parameters and the reference categories of the manufacturers in the drone motor market.

“Drone Industry to Push for Growth of Drone Motor Market.”

In the market, there is significant demand for drone motor owing to their drivability and efficiency. In the drone industry, different types of drone motors are used for maximizing the range of utilization of drones.

The global drone industry is projected to grow from USD 30 Bn in 2022 to USD 279 Bn in 2032 at a CAGR of 25%. Moreover, in the coming years, there is expected to be major demand for drone motor from the end users of drones in aftermarket. This is because of the increased value added capacity provided by the drone with motors.

Good quality drone motors helps to increase the durability, stability, and agility of drones and minimize the human error in operations, paving the way for automation. All these factors contribute to the flourishing growth of the drone motor industry.

What Do Drone Motor Manufacturers Need to Watch Out for?

“A Plethora of Benefits makes Drone Motors the must-have Solution in Every Industry”

Drones are widely used in the media and entertainment industry, agriculture, construction & mapping, delivery and logistics. Drone motors should vary in their shape and size according to their end use operations. Observing the overall market, and the need for safe, clean, quick deliverables, industry players are realizing the need for modern equipment and machinery like advanced drones in place of old traditional equipment.

Another added benefit of advanced drone motor is that they provides value added benefit to the drone user, increasing the drone’s utility and durability with greater efficacy. Prices of motors, accessories, and software will continue to fall as drone companies compete for market growth and share through competitive price offering.

Continued growth and improved drone autonomy in the number of gig, licensed economy, and drone operators will further reduce the cost of drone adoption. This will increase the demand for drones and, consequently, for drone motors.

Country-wise Insights
