Global Energy Storage for Drones Market by Type (Batteries, Fuel Cell), By Application (Agriculture, Construction, Power And Water Utility, Real Estate, Journalism, Cinematography, Transportation, Energy Sector) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

The global energy storage for drones market size is expected to surpass USD 3.8 billion by 2028. The demand for high-performance and cost-effective power solutions in the drone industry has been driving the growth of this market as battery replacement is not an easy task and other alternatives are expensive. This report provides an in-depth analysis of the global energy storage for drones market across four major segments such as type, application, region, and country.

The energy storage for drones can be done by using batteries and fuel cells. Batteries are used in low-power applications, whereas fuel cell technology is ideal for high power demands. On the basis of Type, the market is segmented as Batteries and Fuel Cells.

Battery-based Energy Storage Systems:

Battery-based Energy Storage Systems are used to store electrical energy in a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells which can convert stored chemical energy into electric current when connected with an external circuit providing power for low voltage DC loads such as lighting or alarm systems. They have relatively good energy density but less efficient than fuel cell-based systems due to the short lifetime of the battery before it needs replacement. Fuel Cell type has a lower cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) compared to batteries because they generate electricity from chemical reaction instead of electric current flow between two terminals like batteries.

The cost-effectiveness and availability have made lead-acid batteries a suitable choice over other battery types in drones that use Li-ion or NiMH technology because of their lower cost of ownership. Batteries have a higher market share than fuel cells. This is because batteries are more conventional and less expensive to manufacture, which makes them the preferred option for toy drones or other low-cost models of quadcopters that need lightweight solutions with high energy density (longer flight time).

Fuel Cells based Energy Storage for drones:

Since the first use of fuel cell in a manned rocket by NASA in 1967, it has been widely used on space missions and submarines. The advantages are that they have higher energy density than batteries but lower power density because they generate electricity from chemical reaction instead of electric current flow between two terminals like batteries.

One disadvantage is when hydrogen needs to be stored at high pressure or under cryogenic conditions as otherwise, the system is not efficient enough to produce electrical power. Hydrogen can also be obtained with water through electrolysis but this process requires an external source of electricity which increases the cost significantly. There are many new types being developed such as Proton Exchange Membrane type (PEM) cells for mobile phones, polymer type. Fuel Cell has a lower market size as compared to battery storage but it could be promising in the future due to its superior ability to store power without any moving parts; this renders them immune from most shock damage while also being safer and cheaper than lithium-ion batteries. The main drawback, however, is their relative weight (~250 times heavier) and limited lifespan (roughly five years), coupled with an increase in price per kilowatt-hour as they age.

On the basis of Application, the market is segmented into Agriculture, Construction, Power and Water Utility, Real Estate, Journalism etc.

Drones have many advantages over manned aircrafts such as: being lightweight, flexible on budget costs, time-saving (less red tape), easier to fly than helicopters, etc. As drone technology is continuously developing, it can now be equipped with batteries that power the propellers so that they can stay airborne longer without having to land frequently. This has led to an increase in their adoption rate within this sector and will likely continue doing so going forward. As powerful lithium-ion batteries lose about 20% of their capacity every year if left unused for a long period of time, battery swapping systems are being developed to maintain the maximum amount of flight time. Another more efficient solution is proposed by Stem Inc., a company that provides off-grid power solutions and energy storage for remote areas in Africa. It will be installing solar panels with enough energy capacity so as to store up electricity during the day which could then be used at night when there’s no sunlight available.

On the basis of Region, the market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. In 2018, the highest revenue was generated in North America due to the presence of established players such as Intel Corporation (U.S.), General Electric Company (U.S.), and Lockheed Martin Corporation (U.S.). A large number of companies are also present in this region which has been actively pursuing R&D initiatives for developing energy storage solutions together with technological advancements that will ultimately help them develop innovative products. In Asia Pacific countries like India is witnessing a rapid growth rate since there’s increasing demand from industries such as agriculture and transportation sectors where drones can be used to deliver goods or provide aerial imagery during disasters respectively.
