Consumer unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or, simply put, drones, are now a significant industry in the high-tech, along with virtual reality, artificial intelligence, "smart" electronics, buildings, transport, and so on. Today, we can observe a growing interest in drones, as more and more new start-ups are appearing on the market, the amount of investment in the segment is increasing, and major players of the high-tech sector are starting to get involved in drone-making and related services.
According to Bloomberg’s forecasts, this year it is expected that the sale of drones will be about 4 million units, while in 2020 - about 16 million.
In 2014, the world has sold 4.9 million drones, reports ABI Research. In 2025, as analysts say, the worldwide market for consumer drones will exceed the volume of 90 million units. In monetary terms, the volume of the industry will reach $ 4.6 billion by the middle of the next decade.
By 2017, sales of the toy drones will exceed revenues of manufacturers of semi-devices, and in 2025, the consumer segment will account for 2/3 of the drones sales.
