• Strong uncertainty -

forecasts vary according

to source: $2,8bn to $17bn

in commercial (2020)

• Commercial is projected

to overtake military UAVs

in the near future

For reference:

commercial

helicopter

market 2020:

$6,3bn

Notes:

• Commercial (professional grade) UAV market forecast

according to various sources, excluding parapublic

applications and consumer products

• Wintergreen estimates $4,7bn in 2020 for the

parapublic market on top of the $17bn commercial

market

• For comparison: The European SESAR Drone study

estimates design and production revenues for Europe in

2020 to be around €300m

A great market opportunity – but with strong uncertainty
