Reduction in drone prices and availability of affordable solutions

Over the past few years, drone manufacturers have worked to reduce costs through innovations, economies of scale and open-source development. This has led to the availability of drones at low prices. The reduced costs have made drones affordable even for small and medium-sized businesses to seriously evaluate their potential.

New business models have emerged, and this has removed the financial barriers for companies. Drone operators are offering drone-as-a-service models, where end users need not buy the drones but can utilize them on an hourly or subscription basis. Third-party fleet operators are building large drone delivery networks and inviting logistics providers, pharmacies and food suppliers to use these networks. Such models allow commercial customers of all sizes to experiment with and integrate drone deliveries without heavy upfront investments.

Advanced technologies like computer vision, artificial intelligence and lithium-ion batteries that were previously available only in high-end drones are now common in affordable models. The increased availability of low-cost yet customizable drone parts from suppliers across the globe has empowered many small startups to develop cost-effective solutions tailored for logistics and transportation jobs. All these factors have substantively lowered the barriers to entry, allowing vastly more companies from varied industries to explore real-world implementation of drones on a mass scale.
