These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.

A construction drone is a remotely controlled aircraft equipped with a global positioning system (GPS) and downward-facing sensors, such as red, green, and blue (RGB), multispectral, thermal, and light detection and ranging (LiDAR). It helps gather accurate survey maps and aerial images of construction sites, materials, machinery, and people for detecting potential issues, which are not evident at ground level inspections. As it allows location referencing in real-time, the construction drone is increasingly being utilized by contractors, building planners, designers, academicians, engineers, and architects to improve construction activities for greater efficiency. 

Construction Drone Market Trends:

The rising focus on infrastructure development represents one of the key factors propelling the growth of the market. Construction drones are employed in the construction sector for inspecting and maintaining pavements, highways, bridges, and buildings, monitoring damages and cracking, maintaining facades, and mapping historical monuments. They also find extensive applications in 3D modelling for building reconstruction and photogrammetric uses, such as volume measurement. Besides this, construction drones assist in making several improvements, such as increasing accuracy in reporting, improving safety conditions, reducing costs, and streamlining workflow. Apart from this, as they are operated remotely, construction drones can perform surveys in high-risk zones where casualties may occur. This, coupled with the increasing construction of high-rise and tall buildings on account of rapid urbanization, is driving the market. Moreover, conventional terrain surveys require the manual acquisition of multiple GPS points, which is time-consuming. However, construction drones aid in accelerating this process by capturing data in less time than conventional methods. This, along with rising technological advancements, is projected to create a positive outlook for the market in the coming years.
