2017 China's UAV Industry Development Trends and Market Size Forecasts

The exports of small aircraft 2016Q1-Q3 increased by 106.7%, and consumer drone sales maintained rapid growth. We sorted out the export data of small aircraft (named “aircraft and other aircraft with an empty load of ≤2000kg”). The Q1-Q3 export amount reached 634 million US dollars in 2016, an increase of 106.7% year-on-year from Q1-Q3, including exports to the United States/Hong Kong. At 2.47/2.19 million U.S. dollars, the export amount in Europe is relatively decentralized. The above data reflect the market demand of consumer-class drones to some extent. In the first three quarters of this year, consumer drone sales still maintained rapid growth.

Consumer drones have seen a decline in financing. The number of financings and the amount of financing for the global drone industry in Q3 2016 have declined significantly. Only 8 companies have received financing of US$55 million. In addition, due to the rapid iteration and price advantage of DJI products, 3DRobotics, a well-known drone manufacturer in the United States, completely withdrew from drone manufacturing. We believe that DJI has a clear advantage in the consumer-grade field, with a market share of around 70%, and it will be difficult for the company to face the challenges of the Dajiang brand effect + product iteration + price reduction strategy when it enters the company later. Cooling reflects the intense competition in the industry.
