The Delivery Drones Market is expected to reach a value of $1.29 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 40.0% during the forecast period 2021–2028.

The growth of this market is mainly attributed to the increase in demand for faster delivery, technological advancements in drones, and the rising need to reduce carbon emissions.

The study offers a comprehensive analysis of the delivery drones market based on type (multi-rotor, fixed-wing, single-rotor, hybrid VTOL), payload (less than 2 Kg, 2-5 Kg, more than 5 Kg), range (less than 25 Km, more than 25 Km), end user (healthcare, retailers & e-commerce, food & beverage, logistics, other end users), and geography. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the country level.

Based on type, the delivery drones market is segmented into multi-rotor, fixed-wing, single-rotor, and hybrid VTOL. The multi-rotor segment accounted for the largest share of the delivery drones market in 2021. The large market share of this segment is attributed to its ability to operate in a wider variety of environments. These drones can hover in a fixed position and fly in any direction and are used to deliver services across the healthcare, logistics, and retail sectors.

Based on payload, the delivery drones market is segmented into less than 2 Kg, 2–5 Kg, and more than 5 Kg. The less than 2 Kg segment accounted for the largest share of the delivery drones market in 2021. The large market share of this segment is attributed to its capability to expeditiously deliver small packages of up to 2 kg. This category denotes the provision of small grocery, coffee, postal delivery, gifts, healthcare and wellness products, and commercial goods under a specific weight limit.

Based on range, the delivery drones market is segmented into less than 25 Km, and more than 25 Km. The less than 25 Km segment accounted for the largest share of the delivery drones market in 2021. Drone delivery caters to rural and dense urban areas, reduces manual involvement and shipping expenses, and enables door-step delivery and service expansion in areas lacking infrastructure. Thus, these factors contribute to the large market share of this segment.

Based on end user, the delivery drones market is segmented into healthcare, retailers & e-commerce, food & beverage, logistics, and other end users. The retailers & e-commerce segment accounted for the largest market share in 2021. The dominant position of this segment is attributed to the capability of delivery drones to deliver small packages of commercial goods faster than traditional modes of delivery. High delivery speed, door-step delivery, and the potential to serve rural and semi-rural areas are the factors increasing the adoption of delivery drones.

Based on geography, this market is segmented into five major regions: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest share of the delivery drones market in 2021.
