Drone Light Shows Market Research, 2031
The global drone light shows market size was valued at $1.3 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $2.2 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2022 to 2031. Drone light shows are produced by groups of drones that are lit, coordinated, and choreographed to produce a variety of aerial formations. Almost any image in the sky can be replicated by computer software that converts images into flight commands and sends them to the drones while maintaining the coordination and synchronization between the image and the drones. In recent years, drone shows have progressed from the academic lab to large-scale deployments at major events around the world.
Drone light shows are most commonly used as a replacement for fireworks at the end of the event or in the middle of the entertainment event. Drones can be used to provide synchronized lighting with music in music festivals which helps provide additional entertainment value to the songs being performed and also help in bringing a sense of fulfillment to the show. The popularity of drones as fireworks replacements is rapidly increasing as consumers are moving towards environmental sustainability alternatives to fireworks and drones have a significantly less impact on the environment as compared to large fireworks shows which can burn several kilos of gunpowder in one show, leading to severe pollution and harm to the environment. Moreover, such factors are likely to boost the drone light shows market demand.
Social media is becoming an important tool for the proliferation of the drone light shows industry. Many drone light show organizers are primarily promoting their shows through social media campaigns and social media posts in order to increase their reach and garner more attendance at their events. Many social media users across the world are also posting pictures and videos of drone light show on their social media pages with the use of tools such as hashtags, which is further helping to increase the reach of the drone light shows market to newer consumers who are developing interest in such shows. There is also an increasing trend among the consumers of purchasing their own drones and creating their own drone light shows and creating social media profiles surrounding their shows, which is further boosting the demand in drone light shows market forecast period.
Drones are expensive pieces of technology, owing to a fine balance between hardware, software, and technology required for creating drones. The programs used for performing drone light shows are also expensive owing to the ability of the programs to synchronize an array of several drones as well as to transmit images to the drone array while maintaining a balance between the positioning of the drones and the image with the help of technologies such as geo-positioning, proximity tracking, and drone light control in order to create an image or 3D array with the drones. This causes the arrangement of a drone light show to be quite expensive, which can deter consumers from visiting such shows due to high entrance fees or from performing such shows on their own due to lack of funds for purchasing the drones and the software.
Drones are easily becoming available in developing countries across the world. There are many new emerging manufacturers of drones in developing countries across the world, especially in the Asia-Pacific region in countries such as China and India, which are making drones easily accessible to consumers in the region. Furthermore, the adoption of these drones as well as drone light shows in the region is also increasing, due to the adoption of newer technologies in the events conducted in the region as well as the increasing consumer spending on such events in the region. This increasing adoption of drones and drone light shows in the region will help provide greater growth opportunities to the drone light shows market in the future.
The drone light shows market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. By type, the drone light shows market is classified into drone formations, animated shows, indoor shows, and drone launched fireworks. According to the application of drone light shows, the drone light showsmarket is segmented into tourist attractions, public events, trade shows, corporate events, sporting events, music concerts, and others. By region, the market is divided across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, France, UK, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Argentina, and Rest of LAMEA).
Drone formations are the most commonly used types of drone light shows and animated drone light shows are expected to have the highest growth during the forecast period. Drone formations are primarily made up of an array of drones in a grid through which various images or texts are displayed across the sky. These are the most basic and the most commonly used types of drone light shows, as they are easier to operate and are also slightly budget friendly as compared to other types of drone light shows. Animated drone light shows are rapidly emerging as the latest form of drone light shows due to their ability to create scenes and moving images that provide greater immersion and wonder to the shows, and can also be used in conjecture with music in order to create an enhanced experience for any type of music show, tourist attraction, corporate event, and more.
Indoor drone light shows require very few drones and are generally conducted on a much smaller scale. They are mostly conducted in auditoriums and concert halls in order to complement the performances taking place in the halls. Drone launched fireworks are also becoming popular due to the increase in the design of shows with precise firework control and launching fireworks from drones can help in providing the required results. Several drone light shows are also replacing fireworks due to the significantly lower environmental impact of the drones on the environment.
Music concerts are the most popular venues for the use of drone light shows and are expected to have the highest growth during the forecast period. Drone light shows in music concerts, music events, and music festivals are primarily used to enhance the performance of the artists and amplify the feel of the music with the help of music synchronized drone light shows, which are in coordination with the performing artist and the beats of the music. This helps in creating newer experiences for the events, leading to a greater demand for drone light shows for such events. Drone light shows are also extensively used as tourist attractions by various countries, to display the history of a particular region and to show the changes in the place over a period to provide the visitors with a sense of grandeur and help them understand the significance of some area. It can also be used to provide entertainment to tourists in campsites and open air amphitheaters.
Drone light shows are also being used in public events, trade shows, corporate events, sporting events, and other similar occasions in order to help enhance these events and to provide a sense of fulfilment to the events or to better communicate the meaning behind the event.
Europe had the largest drone light shows market share owing to the rapid increase in the adoption of drones in the region coupled with the use of several different technologies that are used to enhance events such as music festivals, corporate meetings, and live shows. The use of drone light shows, especially animated shows, is increasing rapidly in the region due to the rapid adoption of technology as well as an increasing interest in consumer satisfaction. North America is the second largest region in terms of organizing drone light shows, with Asia-Pacific predicted to have the highest drone light shows market growth, owing to an increase in the adoption of drones in the region as well as rapid technological improvements and increase in the purchasing power of consumers in the region.
