The commercial drone industry is evolving fast—with new technologies, regulations, and use cases emerging around the world. Now more than ever, it’s critical to stay informed, share your insights, and help guide the future of the sector. That’s why Drone Industry Insights (DRONEII) is launching the 8th Global Drone Industry Survey, and they want your voice included.
Since 2018, DRONEII has produced this global survey to track how drone professionals are adapting, innovating, and overcoming challenges. Each year, the results offer a valuable snapshot of the industry from the inside—drawing on input from professionals in more than 100 countries.
This year’s survey takes just 8–15 minutes to complete and is available in multiple languages including English, Italian, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. All responses are anonymous, and the survey is independently conducted and funded by DRONEII.
In return for your time, you’ll receive a free copy of the “State of Drones 2025” Whitepaper, which includes exclusive insights from the survey. You’ll also be entered to win prizes including:
-
Free tickets to major drone conferences around the world, such as Amsterdam Drone Week, Commercial UAV Expo, Drone Show Korea, Japan Drone, and more.
-
A chance to win a $500 Amazon gift voucher.
Whether you’re a manufacturer, service provider, policymaker, or pilot, your perspective matters. The more diverse the input, the more accurate and actionable the final report becomes—for everyone in the drone ecosystem.
Be part of the global conversation. Share your voice and help shape the direction of the drone industry in 2025 and beyond.
