The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the drone logistics and transportation market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the drone logistics and transportation market, its adjacent markets, and its parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Demand-side analyses were carried out to estimate the overall size of the market. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the sizes of different segments and subsegments of the drone logistics and transportation market.
Secondary Research
Several Sources of paid and unpaid secondary data were used to determine the market rankings of manufacturers of cargo, freight and passenger drones, examining their product portfolios and operations. This was followed by a ranking of their companies basis their sales performance and quality of their products. This was further validated via primary sources. Secondary data sources referred to for the study included financial statements of major companies manufacturing freight, passenger and air ambulance drones along with information from various trade, business and professional associations. The collected data was analyzed to arrive at the overall size of the drone logistics and transportation market, which was then validated via primaries.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research was conducted after acquiring information regarding the drone logistics and transportation market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from both the demand and supply sides across major countries of North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews.
