Overview and Scope
Solar-powered drones are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with photovoltaic panels to harness solar energy for propulsion and operation. These drones offer sustainable and long-endurance flight capabilities, making them ideal for various applications such as environmental monitoring, agriculture, surveillance, and telecommunications.
Sizing and Forecast
The solar powered drones market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.82 billion in 2023 to $2.17 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing environmental concerns and emphasis on sustainability, military and defense applications, reduction in the cost of solar panels, government incentives and policies promoting renewable energy adoption, expansion of applications such as agriculture, surveillance, and disaster management.
The solar powered drones market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.41 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for long-endurance drones for various commercial applications, the emergence of new regulatory frameworks supporting solar-powered drone deployment, increasing focus on precision agriculture and crop monitoring, growth in infrastructure inspection and maintenance applications, expansion of the telecommunications industry. Major trends in the forecast period include a shift towards hybrid solar-electric propulsion systems, the adoption of lightweight materials for improved performance and payload capacity, the integration of advanced sensors and imaging technologies for enhanced data collection, the evolution of solar-powered drone-as-a-service (DaaS) business models, the rise of solar-powered drones for emergency response and disaster recovery.

Major Driver Impacting Market Growth
The rising military and defense investment is expected to propel the growth of the solar-powered drones market going forward. Military and defense spending refers to the financial resources dedicated by a state to raising and maintaining its armed forces, including the provision of weapons, equipment, and soldiers. Countries are increasing their military investments to discourage other countries from attacking, protect national security, and potentially prevent wars. The rising expenditure in military and defense enhances the development and deployment of solar-powered drones for reconnaissance, surveillance, and tactical operations, boosting their capabilities and innovation. For instance, in April 2023, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, a Sweden-based institute and independent resource on global security, world military expenditure increased by 3.7% in real terms in 2022 to reach a record high of $2,240 billion. Military expenditure in Europe rose by 13% during the year. US military spending also increased by 8.8% in nominal terms between 2021 and 2022, but real spending increased by 0.7% over that same time due to an 8.1% inflation rate. Therefore, rising military and defense spending is driving the growth of the solar powered drones market.
