Market Dynamics

What factors are Contributing to the Increased Demand for Hexacopters Globally?

"The employment of Hexacopters in the construction sector is expected to increase Hexacopter sales."

Drones are used in different functions, including construction, where they fly above and capture images. Incorporating drone technology into construction services has become very interesting. Over the past years, the role of drones in the construction industry has experienced a 239% increase, which far exceeds that of other sectors. Drones give great aerial shots and improve data collection.

Construction drones have multiple applications, starting from site security to remote monitoring; they can set up the project budget and track construction expenditure, giving a status update-all of which are possible with drone support or through video imaging. Drones or UAVs are slowly but steadily making their way into the construction industry, primarily as the sector is changing and projects are getting more complex.

What Do Hexacopter Manufacturers Need to Watch Out for?

“Performance issues of the Hexacopter drones may hamper market growth”

Drones vary in initial cost and features but generally face similar performance issues. A really good drone can fly a little longer (mostly up to 30 mins) higher and farther. Moreover, the higher up Hexacopters go, the fewer specific details will be recorded (and government agencies can have problems monitoring such things.

The distant the drones go, the narrower the drone's field of vision becomes, which can be quite scary, especially if high initial costs are included, also means it needs enough power to reach you safely.

While drones consume a lot of energy and can shoot great video, their batteries are slowly losing their ability to maintain the same charge. This means it will fly continuously for a short period of time until the battery is replaced. Such limitations of the drone can hamper the sales of the Hexacopter drones.
