Summary

The global market for Small Drone was estimated to be worth US$ 9751 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 14645 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on Small Drone cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
In 2024, global Small Drone production reached approximately 7337.3 K units, with an average global market price of around US$ 1329 per unit. Small Drone: Empty weight of 4kg ＜ W ≤ 15kg (excluding battery, payload, etc.). The full load weight shall not exceed 25 kilograms.
Applicable scenarios: agricultural crop protection, logistics transportation, aerial photography, power inspection, etc.
Real name registration required: Small unmanned aerial vehicles flying within China must undergo real name authentication through the UTMISS system.
Flight restrictions: No flights are allowed in controlled airspace (such as airports and military zones) without approval.

Policy-Driven Airspace Liberalization: Global Policy Dividends Unleashed‌
China has incorporated low-altitude economy into its national strategy, targeting 50 demonstration zones by 2025 with 440+ drone routes opened. Over 300 cities will be covered by 5G-A networks, providing technical support for airspace management. The US and EU are streamlining commercial drone approvals, such as FAA's optimized airworthiness certification and the EU's Urban Air Mobility 2030 Roadmap, facilitating cross-border logistics pilots.
‌Accelerated Airworthiness Certification Boosts Commercialization‌
Global drone airworthiness certifications surged 120% annually in 2024. Models like EH216-S secured bulk orders, while China's registered civilian drones exceeded 1.26 million units, forming a dual-driven market with policy and demand.
‌Technological Breakthroughs & Performance Upgrades: Synergy of Intelligence & Lightweighting‌
Fully enclosed streamlined shells and carbon fiber materials now enable 1-5kg empty weight with 10-15kg payload capacity, meeting high-value transport needs for perishables and pharmaceuticals. Autonomous obstacle avoidance and AI pathfinding, supported by 5G-A's millisecond response, enhance flight stability by 40%+ in complex environments.

‌Energy Efficiency Optimization‌
Lithium battery energy density exceeds 300Wh/kg, with 1+ hour endurance and rapid-swapping options increasing daily operations to 8-10 cycles.
‌Deepened Application Scenarios & Scalable Penetration: Urban Low-Altitude Logistics Networks Emerge‌
Companies like JD and SF built "minute-level delivery" systems. Pilot programs in Shenzhen and Zhengzhou achieved 200+ daily orders per drone, boosting efficiency by 70-90% over ground transport. Medical cold chains became a new growth point, ensuring ±5-minute precision for vaccines and organs.
‌Irreplaceable Niche Scenarios‌
Remote areas like mountainous Chongqing saw 60% logistics cost cuts, with Wushan plums transported 17x faster via drones. Disaster relief benefits from 15kg drones delivering emergency supplies swiftly.

‌Market Competition & Industrial Ecosystem Restructuring‌
Industry leaders like DJI dominate consumer markets, while JD and SF integrate "hardware + algorithms + scenarios" for industrial dominance (e.g., JDX-20's urban adaptability). The supply chain now covers 80%+ localized core components, including carbon fiber and navigation modules (ADS-B).
‌Emerging Markets & Career Opportunities‌
Global drone logistics penetration surpassed 3%, creating roles like "aerial delivery personnel" and "drone dispatchers" with 1.6M+ certified pilot shortages. Agricultural drones exceeded $5B in China, enabling 30x more efficient pesticide application.

‌Future Challenges & Directions‌
‌Airspace Coordination‌: Harmonizing transnational regulations and ADS-B standards is critical.
‌Safety vs. Privacy‌: Urban low-altitude operations require countermeasures against signal jamming and data breaches.
