How are drones being used today?
Drone Industry Insights (DroneII) just put out a report on commercial drone uses, with findings for the top industries and applications for drones across the world.
Here are the major findings:
· Energy—the top industry using drones in the world—also has the greatest variety of use cases, leveraging all seven of the uses that DroneII reported on.
· Drone Mapping & Surveying—the top drone application in the world—is used in every one of the 17 industries considered except Insurance.
· Drone Inspections—the 2nd drone application in the world—is also used by every industry considered, with the exception of Arts & Entertainment.
What Are the Main Benefits Drones Provide?

These benefits are touted so often that they can start to seem a little rote. And that means we may run the risk of forgetting how remarkable it is that one tool can make a variety of work not just faster, safer, and cheaper—but also actually of better quality, all at the same time.
DroneII’s reporting calls these benefits out, highlighting that across all 17 industries and seven use cases it looked at, drones provide four primary benefits:
All four of these benefits work together, creating a powerful combination of value for any industry using drones, regardless of its specific needs.
