What Main Forces Are Fueling Expansion In The Unmanned Traffic Management Market?
The unprecedented surge in drone operations is anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the unmanned traffic management market in the future. Drones, being either remotely operated aircraft or self-governing systems, possess the ability to navigate without any onboard human intervention. The ascent in drone operations exacerbates air traffic, a situation that can be efficiently handled through unmanned traffic management systems. For example, Flytrex, an Israeli drone delivery enterprise, reported in March 2023, having completed over 21,350 drone deliveries. This represented a significant seven-fold increase in contrast to 2021, consequently leading to an impressive rise by 765% in the drone service user base during the period 2021–2022. Consequently, the upswing in drone operations positively propels the progression of the unmanned traffic management market.
