Racing Drones Market By Drone Type (RTF/RTR and ARF), By Application (Rotorcross, Drag Racing, and Time Trial), and By Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Africa) - Trends, Analysis and Forecast till 2034

Racing Drones Market accounted for US$ 1.1 billion in 2024 and is estimated to be US$ 8.3 billion by 2034 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 22.4%.

Racing drones are used primarily in sports and gaming applications. The market in North America currently dominates the market for racing drones and is expected to continue its strong hold for a few more years owing to the increasing adoption of UAVs/drones for military as well as commercial applications in the countries of the region. Moreover, increasing demand for drones for various sporting as well as gaming applications is major factor expected to boost the growth of the global market in the near future. In addition, the increasing adoption of high-speed drones for various applications from end-use industries such as aerospace, defense, rescue/inspection, and construction is another factor expected to propel the growth of the target market over the forecast period. However, high costs associated with racing drones are major factors expected to hamper growth of the global racing drones market over the forecast period.

Improvement in FPV Systems

Over the beyond one and a half many years, drones have developed from research center trials to flying vehicles that are accessible at block and mortar and online stores. Mechanical progressions have prepared for utilization of unpredictable parts and parts that have fundamentally worked on the strength and control of cutting-edge drones. Besides, progress in the battery innovation plays had a basic impact in the improvement of current age of robots. In the ongoing situation, drones have an expansive scope of uses, including ethereal photography, debacle the executives, accuracy farming, geographic planning, and weather conditions gauge. All the more as of late, the lessening costs of first-individual view (FPV) frameworks have prompted a critical ascent in the quantity of robot specialists across the globe.

Numerous drone racing leagues and tournaments

Different sport tournaments are being led across the globe, where the utilization of drone is expanding. For instance, in 2018, in Drone Racing League, MultiGP Drone Racing, and Drone Racing World Cup. A drone pilot called Rudi Browning won US$ 24,000 in the World Drone Racing Championship.

Further, there also many product launches, for instance in August 2022, DJI recently added another product to its existing lineup called the Avata FPV drone. According to the company, Avata offers ‘the ultimate immersive drone experience’ for first-person view drone fans.

However, high costs associated with racing drones are major factors expected to hamper growth of the global racing drones market over the forecast period.
