Market Synopsis
The global Solar Powered UAV Market is presumed to expand at 14.80% CAGR during the forecast period (2017-2023) owing to the improved flight range, asserts Market Research Future (MRFR). Solar powered unnamed aerial vehicles (UAVs) or solar-powered drones are airborne vehicles that use solar energy for propulsion. They are remotely controlled through onboard computers or from the ground and are especially developed for defense requirements. UAVs are expanding their reach to scientific, commercial, agricultural, industrial, recreational, and other applications.
Drivers and Restraints Impacting the Market
Unnamed aerial vehicles are preferred for dangerous missions and offer attack capability for high-risk mission. Advantages of UAVs along with their ability to cater to a wide range of applications are likely to generate tremendous demand in the coming years. The UAV industry has been highly influenced by the copious changes in technology. While a few companies are utilizing this technology to develop UAVs with enhanced endurance and range for surveillance, others are focusing on using them to bema internet connectivity across the globe. Thus, there is a huge scope for UAVs in the future. Also, end-users are exploring new possibilities from using them to monitor glaciers in the polar regions to deliver goods, tackling refugee crisis, and others, thereby triggering the demand for Solar-Powered UAV Market.
On the flip side, there are certain factors which retard the market growth globally. Technical constraints, dissimilar laws, and restrictions prohibiting the adoption of aerial vehicles, and withdrawing of funds are some of the major factors likely to hamper the market growth in the coming years. Moreover, lack of trained professionals and pilots to operate such vehicles is anticipated to pose major challenges to the market growth across the globe.
