The global commercial drones’ market size is expected to decline from $4.14 billion in 2019 to $3.64 billion in 2020 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -12.0%.

The market is then expected to recover and reach $6.15 billion in 2023 at CAGR of 19.09%.

Increasing supply chain and manufacturing disruptions are limiting the sales of drones owing to the COVID19 outbreak. Drones manufacturers are struggling to meet production schedules across the world owing to the disruptions caused by coronavirus lockdowns in Chinese manufacturing systems. According to Drone Life’s article posted in March 2020, Skydio, a USA-based company engaged in assembling drones, is suffering from supply chain disruptions caused by the slowdown in the manufacturing of the parts. Moreover, in a snowball effect, many companies are experiencing shutdowns in manufacturing activities due to COVID-19 lockdowns, which is impacting the availability of subcomponents to assembling companies. Therefore, the disruptions in supply chain and manufacturing are expected to restrict the growth of the global commercial drones’ market during 2020.

Commercial drones are being considered by companies that have last-mile delivery as a main business process.

For example, in March 2019, Zomato, an Indian food delivery company, conducted experiments to enable drone delivery in their value chain.
