BENEFIT

The greatest benefit of understanding drone news in 2021 comes from both the trend line and the individual highlights. The Google Trends line shows the popularity of the search term “drone” which often times also suggests that drones are being discussed in society. In other words, drones making headlines can lead to people searching for the term and increasing the popularity of these headlines even further. This increase in attention also helps drones enter new industries and find new applications which help companies increase their efficiency and profits.

Additionally, the content of these headlines is also important. Drone news in 2021 were largely dominated by drone delivery. One year after the breakout of the coronavirus pandemic, it seems plenty of drone companies found ways to adapt and take advantage of opportunities, with the biggest winners being drone deliveries. Several of these companies made headlines related to either hefty investments or milestones being reached. Aside from deliveries, there were still plenty of other major headlines ranging from entertainment (drone shows and videos) to air mobility and regulation.

In conjunction with the trend line, these topics reveal the reason why drones made headlines throughout the year, which is valuable information for those looking for opportunities to enter the drone market or find a partner drone company. Those looking to start a drone business and/or find business partners can benefit from all of this data along with our other infographics to form a more complete picture of where the drone market is and where it may be headed.

“As a concluding lesson for 2021, there’s the role of expectations. The news about DHL’s Parcelcopter and Amazon Prime Air, when analyzed in the context of all the investments towards Zipline and Flytrex (among others), suggest that companies are now more aware of both the potential and the limitations of drone delivery. In other words, expectations have become more realistic, and less influenced by hype.
