Increasing demand for faster delivery across the globe is driving the market growth 

An increase in demand for faster delivery, amendments in the regulatory framework to encourage drone package delivery, and increased use of low-cost and light payload drones for product delivery by start-ups are some of the major factors driving the market for drone package delivery. However, the lack of required infrastructure to support drone delivery operations in emerging economies is limiting the overall growth of the market.

Based on duration, the market has been segmented into short duration (<_0 minutes_="minutes_" and="and" long="long" duration="duration">30 minutes). The short duration segment is estimated to account for a larger share of the overall market in 2023. However, the long duration segment is projected to grow at a higher rate during the forecast period owing to the demand for instant package delivery at a lower cost.

Short range (<_5 kilometers_="kilometers_" segment="segment" is="is" estimated="estimated" to="to" account="account" for="for" a="a" market="market" larger="larger" share="share" in="in" />

Based on range, the market has been segmented into short range (<_5 kilometers_="kilometers_" and="and" long="long" range="range">25 kilometers). Short-range delivery drones are generally used for a short-range local delivery of packages. These drones, capable of traveling up to a distance of 25 kilometers in a single charging, enable instantaneous delivery of products after their online purchase. There is a rising demand for instant delivery of products and packages, such as medicines and food.

Asia-Pacific is estimated to lead the drone package delivery market in 2023

China and Japan are the major countries in the Asia Pacific drone package delivery market and are leaders in the manufacturing of advanced delivery drones for commercial usage. Australia is among the most lucrative markets in the Asia Pacific Region. Alphabet's Wing has started the delivery of packages using drones in Australian suburbs in April 2019. Amazon Prime is also conducting trials in the country for the delivery of parcels through drones.
