What is the future development of UAV major?

The current employment prospects of drones

First, aerial photography

Aerial photography is still the most widely used field in the UAV industry. More than 43% domestic mainstream UAV manufacturers are engaged in the production of professional aerial drones. At present, the compound annual growth rate of aerial drone market is close to 80%, and it is estimated that the market scale will reach 25 billion yuan in 2020.

Second, the protection of agricultural plants.

Agricultural plant protection drones have become the new favorite of modern agriculture. By the end of 20 19, China * * * had produced more than 70 varieties of plant protection drones/kloc-0, with more than 55,000 drones and an operating area of over 850 million mu. Agricultural plant protection accounts for about 20% of the whole UAV application field. Plant protection drones, flight defense personnel and pesticides constitute one of the three major elements of China's agricultural flight defense system. It is estimated that by the end of 2020, the number of plant protection drones in China will exceed 654.38+million, and the number of UAV plant protection employees will reach more than 400,000.

Third, power inspection.

The application scope of industry inspection is expanding, and power inspection is the main field of inspection application in UAV industry. At present, State Grid Corporation and China Southern Power Grid Corporation are vigorously promoting the construction of UAV teams and improving various security systems. It is estimated that by the end of 2020, the market size of power inspection drones will be close to more than 3 billion yuan. In addition, the inspection scope of the UAV industry has gradually expanded to infrastructure inspection, environmental law enforcement evidence collection, forest fire prevention monitoring, illegal construction verification, highway management, maritime law enforcement evidence collection and other fields.

Fourth, UAV mapping.

UAV mapping has gradually replaced the traditional aerial mapping. At present, there are more than 300 surveying and mapping units in China with aerial photography qualifications, and the number of drones used exceeds 2,000. In 20 19, the Ministry of Natural Resources of China started the compilation of basic surveying and mapping planning during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, and promoted the national surveying and mapping project of "building a true three-dimensional China". The project will lead nearly 400,000 professional technicians in the surveying and mapping industry to transfer from the traditional surveying and mapping field to the UAV surveying and mapping field.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) UAV logistics and distribution

The pilot of UAV logistics distribution has been gradually deepened. In 20 19, the application of SF Express and JD.COM UAV logistics and distribution was piloted by the Civil Aviation Administration, with a total of more than 40,000 flights10.5 million hours, and the scope of the pilot was expanded to Sichuan, Yunnan and other places. 20 19, 10 in June, 2006, the Civil Aviation Administration issued an approval letter for the trial operation of a certain type of UAV and an operation license for logistics and distribution of UAV to Hangzhou Xunyi Company. This is the first pilot project in China to complete the operational risk assessment and verification of a specific type of UAV. The pilot project of UAV logistics has moved from rural areas to cities, which indicates that UAV logistics testing has achieved great results.
