Global Drone Software Market is valued approximately at USD 4.60 billion in 2018 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 27.63 % over the forecast period 2019-2026. Drone software is gaining momentum across many industries and also generating humongous investment opportunities. Also, the drone software is majorly used in rescue missions, surveillance, photography, rescue missions and man-made disaster management and entertainment. Further, rising use of drone in commercial and military applications and growing capital investment in drone software has led the adoption of drone software across the forecast period.

For Instance: The US military has allocated a total fund of $4.61 billion in FY17 for development and procurement of new drones as per Department of Defense Fiscal Year 2017 budget. Further, in the year 2018, as per Department of Defense Fiscal Year 2018 budget, the military spending in the drone is set to increase by approx. 33% and would reach $6.97 billion. Through this budget, the government of United States can reduce its defense and military risks. Therefore, high investments in drone are expected to enhance the research and development activities to develop VTOL drones. As a result, the adoption of drone in military sector would increase globally. However, vulnerability to hacking is beholding the confidence of industries towards purchase of Drone software globally.
