CONSTRUCTION DRONE MARKET ANALYSIS

Global construction drone market growth can be hampered due to limited battery life and range of drones. Construction sites are often spread over large areas and drones need to cover the entire site for tasks like monitoring, inspection, and surveying. However, limited battery life of around 20-30 minutes for commercial grade drones restricts their operational range. Drone batteries take significant time to recharge fully. This poses practical challenges for construction companies who want to deploy drones on a daily basis for monitoring large projects.

Market Opportunity - Increased demand for aerial surveys for construction monitoring and planning

Global construction drone market can witness growth opportunities due to increased demand for aerial surveys and infrared inspections of construction sites. Drones equipped with HD cameras and thermal imaging sensors provide an inexpensive and timely method to monitor progress, inspect structures, and detect issues remotely. This helps construction companies to plan work, track milestones, and ensure quality standards are being followed throughout the project duration. Aerial surveys using drones can save significant time and labour costs compared to traditional manned surveys using cranes or elevated platforms.
