Global Meteorological Drones & Sensors Market Size, Trends & Analysis - Forecasts to 2026 By Type (Anemometer Sensor, Anemometer Sensor embedded Drones, and Weather Sensor Software), By Application (Pollution Monitoring, Wind Turbine Control, Meteorology, Defense and Marine, and Other Applications), By End-User Industry (Defense and Marine Industry, Agriculture Industry, Government, and Other Industries), By Region (North America, Asia Pacific, CSA, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa), Company Market Share Analysis, and Competitor Analysis
The global meteorological drones & sensors market is projected to grow at a CAGR value of 24.5% from 2021 to 2026. Specialized drones that are designed to withstand hard environment and have a vital role in collection of data and information on weather forecast by operating in the lowest layer of atmosphere are called as meteorological drones. The sensors are used to collect and analyze the weather data and are most popularly known as anemometer sensors. These sensors measure the speed of wind, and detect & identify changes and differences in weather and are called as general weather station sensors.
The drones are embedded with sensors to collect information related to temperature, humidity and wind in the atmosphere, which will eventually be useful in forecasting the weather.
Commercial drones are unscrewed unarmed vehicles that have a huge impact on the overall economy of the country. By using a meteorology drone to gather and supply real-time weather data, meteorologists are engaging to improve the time taken to issue a cyclone, heavy rainfall, or a storm within few minutes and hours. According to the NOAA Storm Prediction Center, meteorologists must gather a lot of data in order to predict the occurrence of tornadoes. By using storm proof UAVs, weather forecasters will be able to track more variables thus having access to valuable information. Data gathered can be fed into machine learning systems thus creating models that help to predict accurate weather warnings.
Critical data collected by meteorological drones will help scientists provide better weather forecast. When integrated with deep learning AI systems, drones in the sky will provide real-time data which will be used to protect thousands of lives. Furthermore, it is expected that they will become the standard weather measurement gadgets.
Rising adoption of drones in defense, agriculture and meteorology industry for assessment of weather, and calamities, rising demand for drone inspection & monitoring services, increasing demand for high-quality weather data by armed forces and defense sector, and rapidly developing urban air mobility services are some of the drivers supporting the growth of the market. Moreover, increasing demand for air quality monitoring, rising need for tracking weather conditions due to growing air pollution are some of the factors supporting the growth of the market. Hence, most of the government organization across the globe are taking keen interest in supporting projects related to meteorological drones and sensors in order to improve air quality index and avoid climate chaos.
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the drones industry hugely. The impact was analyzed to be hard, as there was raw material supply disruption, fluctuation in the prices, and temporary shutdown of manufacturing sites. However, due to the ease on lockdown norms, the market for meteorological drones and sensors is expected to grow gradually during the forecast period of 2021 to 2026.
Base on the type, the market for meteorological drones & sensors is divided into anemometer sensor, anemometer sensor embedded drones, and weather sensor software. The weather sensor software is expected to grow the fastest in the market from 2021 to 2026. This is because of the rising adoption and need for software that can help in data collection, storage and data processing for acquiring highly precise weather information.
On the basis of the application, the market is segmented into pollution monitoring, wind turbine control, meteorology, defense and marine, and other applications. The meteorology segment is expected to be the largest segment in the market from 2021 to 2026. Increasing demand for data collection related to variations in temperature and moisture patterns, and rising government-private venture support to launch drones for meteorological applications will support the growth of the segment.
Defense and marine industry, agriculture industry, government, and other industries are the major end-user segments of the meteorological drones & sensors market. Agriculture industry is expected to be growing the fastest in the market from 2021 to 2026. Rising importance of temperature, sunlight and rainfall data for crop cultivation, and rising demand for sustainable farming are some of the factors supporting the growth of the segment.
As per the geographical analysis, the market can be classified into North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico), Asia Pacific (India, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Rest of Asia Pacific), Europe (Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, and Rest of Europe), Middle East & Africa (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Rest of the Middle East & Africa) and Central & South America (Brazil, Argentina, and Rest of Central and South America).
North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico) will have a dominant share in the market from 2021 to 2026. Rapidly flourishing industries such as agriculture, marine, aviation, infrastructure and increasing monetary support from government for the development of meteorological drones & sensors are some of the factors supporting the growth of the market of North America.
Moreover, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to be the fastest growing segment in the market during the forecast period. Increasing air pollution, rising demand for sustainable farming, increasing need for rainfall data, and rising demand from defense industry are some of the drivers supporting the growth of the APAC market.
Black Swift Technologies, LLC, Vaisala, FT Technologies, Anemoment LLC, Steadicopter, Meteomatics, Earth Networks Inc., ideaForge, Prodrone Co., Ltd., and IoTixLab are the key players in the meteorological drones & sensors market.
