As technology advances and regulations continue to evolve, the demand for public safety drones is expected to grow further, enabling more efficient and effective responses to critical incidents. The flexibility and maneuverability of drones enable them to access hard-to-reach areas, providing critical support to first responders. As a result, public safety agencies are increasingly adopting drones as essential tools for improving their operations and ensuring the safety of communities. Equipped with advanced sensors and cameras, they can detect hazards, locate missing persons, and assist in the management of critical incidents.
The public safety drone market is valued at USD 1.1 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 2.0 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 13.0%. The public safety drone industry has witnessed numerous technological advancements over the years in terms of system and payload capabilities. R&D in the field of software technologies and data analytics used in public safety drones have enhanced the design of public safety drones over the years. It has also led to changes in the size, endurance, power, and propulsion systems of public safety drones. Developments in the field of computer vision and machine learning are expected to make public safety drones autonomous collectors of aerial data.
