THE TOP 7 DRONE TRENDS FOR THE FUTURE
2

• The commercial drone industry has gone from
  strength to strength, and 2019 looks set to be
  another exciting year for new developments and
  trends.
• 2018 saw a more widespread roll-out of the FAAs
  LAANC program, or Low Altitude Authorization and
  Notification Capability which gives access to
  controlled airspaces such as airports, the
  Integration Pilot Program from the FAA was
  introduced, and there were developments for new
  regulatory frameworks for drones in Europe and
  India 2019 might see even more developing
  trends. Here are the top 7 predicted trends for
  the year

• Growth in selected industries
• Agriculture, construction, mining, public safety,
  and survey engineering are just a few of the
  industries in which the use of aerial drones and
  drone technology are expected to see an increase.
• Steady growth
• In 2018, FAA certified drone pilots were up by
  50 on the previous year, with numbers reaching
  an estimated 115,000. The increase was mainly
  made up of pilots from companies, enterprises or
  public agencies who use drones in their internal
  programs, as opposed to those who fly them for
  drone-based service providers.

• Commercial industries are certainly powering
  growth these days, fast taking over from
  recreational growth.
• Transformation of industries
• The early hype surrounding how drones were going
  to transform industries has fuelled a lot of
  growth, and with positive forecasts also helping
  to fuel investments, more vendors will seek
  leadership roles in important industries and
  secure new forms of revenue in 2019 and years to
  come.

5

• New aerial trespass zones
• Safety, security, and privacy among others, are
  just some of the concerns that the general public
  still harbor over the use of drones, and here in
  the U.S. a small but powerful group calling
  themselves the Uniform Law Commission or ULC, are
  continuing their proposals of a line being
  drawn 200 feet in the air, to give credence to an
  aerial trespassing zone. If established, it could
  give property and landowners the right to set up
  such no-fly zones themselves.

6

• More rules and regulations?
• Proposals by the FAA for remote identification
  for all drones, coupled with a new rule for
  flights over people for small drones, could mean
  that 2019 sees even more regulations coming into
  force for the use of drones. However, there could
  be some delay in such rules becoming laws, so
  stay tuned for updates throughout the year.
• Total world domination by DJI
• A Chinese company called DJI are currently
  dominating the drone market, and look set to
  continue doing so for the foreseeable future.

7

• With their aggressive product development,
  advances in technology and development with
  partners in the enterprise channel, DJI have an
  estimated 74 share of the global market.
• Advances in AI
• Thermal imaging, mapping, and AI capabilities are
  all being advanced by companies seeking to
  improve their drones in ways many of us couldnt
  even imagine. Drones taking over the world, or at
  least a lot of our jobs, may no longer be simply
  a fantasy or nightmare scenario that keeps folks
  awake at night.
• Drones are here to stay, that much is true, as
  for how far they will continue to develop over
  the coming years, it seems the possibilities
  really are endless.
