(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Drones, or UAVs, are set to revolutionize industries, with the global market projected to hit $89.8 billion by 2030. Commercial drone use will surpass military applications by 2025, spurred by advancements in BVLOS operations. Key growth sectors include construction, agriculture, and logistics. However, regulatory cohesion globally remains crucial.

Dublin, Sept. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Strategic Intelligence: Drones" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.
Global drones market will reach $89.8 billion by 2030, up from $32.2 billion in 2024. Revenue from commercial drones will surpass military sales in 2025, driven by favorable regulations and an increase in beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations.

Businesses' use of drones, specifically in the construction and agriculture industries, will continue to increase over the next five years. Drones are already proving beneficial for surveying, inspection, and crop spraying. Logistics is another sector that will also grow in the coming years as more companies use drones for last-mile and middle-mile delivery.

However, growth will depend on cohesive and favorable regulation globally. Drone deliveries, for instance, will continue to be limited not just by payload and battery life but also by patchwork regulation.
