The growing number of drone start-up companies is another major factor boosting drone production, ultimately catalyzing the drone battery market growth across the globe. For instance, between August 2021 and February 2022, India witnessed a strong increase of ~34% in its total number of drone start-ups. Such factors have been providing new opportunities for the drone battery market players in India. Further, the demand for LiPo batteries is expected to continue increasing during the forecast period due to their technological advantages, such as higher endurance, temperature resistance, and air pressure resistance. Such products are widely used in mini and micro quadcopters. Vendors are also majorly focusing on the development of LiPo battery products for different drone manufacturers.
The rise in applications of drones across various industries is one of the major factors driving the drone battery market across the globe. Further, the demand for mini and micro drones is also propelled by the growth in demand from the end use industries. Several end users often face challenges in using the small sized drones with a limited operational time due to their battery operational limitations. To overcome this challenge the end users also keep additional charged batteries for immediate replacement at the time of battery discharge. This factor also acts as another factor that propels the drone battery market growth.
In addition, the introduction of large capacity batteries at a lower cost by local vendors across different regions is one of the major factors hindering the drone battery market growth. This restricts the customers to buy expensive battery solutions for their respective drone solutions. Low-cost batteries are also used as a substitute battery for drone operations. This is restraining the growth of drone battery market across different regions.
