NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2025 /CNW/ -- Governments and companies alike are increasingly opting for drones for real-time decision-making, land surveying & evaluation, mapping and preventive maintenance. The market is set to continue its rapid growth in the coming years too. A report from Fact.MR said it predicts the global drone mapping market will reach USD 1.3 billion by 2025. At a strong CAGR of 17.1%, the industry is also expected to reach USD 6.7 billion by 2035. The report said: "Among the principal growth drivers is the increasing demand for speedier, safer, and more precise surveying solutions in areas where conventional procedures are risky or expensive. Governments are also putting money into pilot training, corridor investment in drones, and the making of rules to support aerial mapping procedures." Fact.MR analysis revealed that swift digitization, policy transformation, and real-time data demands across industries are structurally reshaping the landscape. The report continued: "The key driver of drone mapping momentum is the global digital transformation agenda, especially in construction, farming, and environmental monitoring. Fact.MR is of the view that traditional methods of land surveying are diminishing with the outrageous cost factor and scalability issues. Mapping with drones provides faster, high-resolution insight critical to current decision-making frameworks. Technological advancement is also crucial. The convergence of LIDAR sensors, real-time image processing, and multispectral data has made it possible to vastly enhance the accuracy and practical use of maps generated by drones. Such breakthroughs are transforming irrigation management, infrastructure planning, and emergency response operations into more efficient tasks." Active Companies in the Drone Industry today include ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA), AEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIDR), Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO), Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCAT), Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS).
