Industrial drones are still blue ocean.
In 2019, China’s industrial drone market size was 15.2 billion yuan, and this data will grow to 27.3 billion yuan in 2020. According to the forecast of Frost&Sullivan, the compound annual growth rate of global consumer drones will decline from 2020 to 2024, while industrial drones will maintain a high growth rate during the same period, increasing from 50.62% in 2015-2019 to 56.43%.
Under the blue ocean, Chengdu has entered the game, and industrial drones are one of the 28 key industrial chains proposed by Chengdu’s industrial construction circle. In 2023, the Chengdu Government Work Report proposed that Chengdu should focus on building a strong chain of industries, accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system, and build China’s first industrial drone city.
