Although unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), a.k.a drones, had initially been built for military purposes, they are now widely applied in a number of industries. With the market for agriculture drones reaching $1.3 billion, agriculture is now the second largest industry after construction in terms of drone adoption.
The future of drones in agriculture looks promising: by 2026, analysts claim that the market for agriculture drones is set to reach $6.52 billion, expanding at 31, 4 percent CARG. The demand continues to grow as the costs of drones decrease and drone software in agriculture gets increasingly sophisticated.
