CompTIA has announced its study The Drone Market: Insights from Customers and Providers has found a growing use of drones has prompted commercial customers to examine how best to use unmanned vehicle systems to deliver even more value and productivity, the company said.
The report suggests that there is market potential for drone manufacturers, drone solution providers (DSPs), managed service providers (MSPs), distributors, operators and others in the drone ecosystem.
Customers are taking a fresh look at their use of drones, including how they access drone services and the capabilities; and the expertise they expect from their partners and providers. About one-third of current business customers report managing drone technology internally, while 27 percent rely on external DSPs or related firms. The remaining 39 percent utilize a hybrid approach of internal and external management.
Potential customers cite budget constraints as their top hurdle, followed by a lack of internal expertise and challenges in making a business case for drone investments.
