Drone pods: Commercial treasures of the New Age

Drone pods, as an emerging commercial application, are hailed as the "next tuyere" in the drone market.

According to statistics, the global market size has reached 13 billion dollars. But the commercial development of drone pods is still immature, accounting for only about 4 percent of the total market size.

As a new type of commercial application, UAV pod has high requirements on technology, products, services and other aspects.

As major traditional enterprises gradually realize the huge potential of UAV pods in the future market, they are devoting themselves to this market to lay a foundation for future development.

Uav pod can not only provide efficient control experience for UAV, but more importantly, it can be used to replace traditional manual operation and solve the current problems of high labor cost, low efficiency and high risk.

So what are the advantages of drone pods as a new industry? What are the future trends?

Market demand:

As a new type of commercial application, UAV pod can provide efficient control experience for UAV and improve the efficiency of UAV in work. Judging from the development trend of the industry, UAV pods will have a broader market demand in the future.

With the aging of the population gradually serious, major companies also began to face high personnel costs, low work efficiency, big risks and other problems. In this context, the market demand for UAV pods will continue to increase.

Meanwhile, during the epidemic period, traditional manual operations could not be carried out due to strict prevention and control measures in cities. As a result, the drone pod has emerged as an "aid" to traditional manual operations.

For example, during the epidemic, many local governments used drone pods to deal with traffic accidents, population gatherings, fires and other problems, as personnel could not reach the scene to deal with problems. These are problems that cannot be solved manually.

Policy support:

In recent years, the development of drone pods in China has been accelerating, which is inseparable from the support of national policies. In 2019, The General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Promoting the Development of "Internet Plus Medical and Health Care", which clearly proposed to "accelerate the application of drones and other new intelligent devices in the medical field". In October 2020, The State Council issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for National Informatization", which listed the UAV pod as a key task of "new infrastructure construction". In January 2021, The State Council issued the 14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Modern Comprehensive Transportation System, clearly proposing to "accelerate the application of UAV pods in public services, emergency rescue, agricultural plant protection, logistics and transportation." From central to local governments, policy support has provided a strong guarantee for the development of UAV pods. Under the guidance of national policies, various regions have also introduced relevant policies to support the development of UAV pods.

Technology upgrade:

The upgrade of UAV pod technology is also an important trend of the future development of UAV pod. For example, by upgrading the power system to a battery system, the weight of the drone pod can be greatly reduced, thus increasing its stability in applications; Through the use of multi-sensor fusion technology, can be realized in a variety of environments, such as field, desert, etc. By adding positioning system, communication system and so on, it can effectively enhance its anti-jamming ability. By installing sensors or electronic equipment, real-time monitoring of the operating environment can be realized. Through the introduction of intelligent algorithm, the operation process of UAV can be optimized.

With the wide application of UAV pod in various industries, it puts forward higher requirements for technology, products, services and other aspects. In the future, the UAV pod will continue to integrate various technical means and methods, improve product functions and performance, and provide users with better quality and convenient services.

Increased competition:

With the continuous development of the UAV pod market in the future, the competition will become increasingly fierce. How to stand firm in the fierce market competition has become the biggest problem facing UAV pod enterprises. We are looking forward to the emergence of more innovative and powerful companies in the drone pod industry.

Industrial chain integration:

With the continuous development of the UAV pod industry, major enterprises have also begun to integrate the industrial chain to further promote the development of the industry. At present, the industrial chain is mainly concentrated in the upstream power battery, UAV manufacturing and other fields.

From an industrial chain perspective, the market is still in its early stages. As the major enterprises continue to strengthen the research and development of UAV pod, the UAV pod industry will enter a period of rapid development in the next few years.

Overall, the drone pod industry is still in its infancy, but as a new industry, it will see a boom in development in the next few years.

At present, major enterprises have not invested enough in the UAV pod industry, resulting in the market is not mature enough. However, with the continuous attention and investment of major enterprises in this market, the development speed of this market will be further accelerated, and the UAV pod industry will usher in a new round of development opportunities.

Investment trend:

As an emerging commercial application, UAV pods have high requirements on technology, products, services and other aspects, so the development prospect of this industry is very broad. In recent years, as major traditional enterprises gradually realize the huge potential of UAV pods in the future market, they have thrown themselves into this market to lay a foundation for future development.

The competitive landscape:

At present, the main application fields of UAV pod are:

1. Fire rescue field: high rescue efficiency, reducing the casualty rate of rescue personnel;

2. Agriculture: improve crop planting efficiency and reduce labor costs;

3. Power field: replace manual inspection lines and equipment;

4. Environmental protection: reduce environmental pollution and realize environmental monitoring;

5. Emergency surveying and mapping: make up for the shortage of basic surveying and mapping, assist land resources management;

6. Logistics distribution: improve logistics efficiency and reduce logistics costs;

7. Security field: realize security monitoring, patrol and other functions.
