Zhuoyi Intelligence: the development trend of UAV industry in the past 22 years. Tethering UAV has become the mainstream of the industry

Release time：2022-03-01

With the popularity of UAVs in the field of mass consumption and the expansion of industrial applications, tethered UAVs have also received widespread attention in the industrial UAV market. Compared with the light multi rotor UAV on the market, the tethered UAV has the advantages of heavy load, high lift off and long endurance, which can better meet the market application needs. In the next five to ten years, the tethered UAV will become the main force in the UAV industry.

01 /Industry Overview

1、Definition: mainly used for business tasks

As a kind of civil UAV, industrial UAV is an efficient and convenient auxiliary means to replace the original tools to serve the unmanned aircraft in the daily work of all walks of life. Data show that the scale of China's industrial UAV market increased from 2.61 billion yuan in 2016 to 6.01 billion yuan in 2019. In the future, the growth rate of the industrial UAV industry will remain high.

The existing industrial UAV can be divided into fixed wing, rotor, helicopter and other types according to the fuselage structure. Due to the different fuselage structure (dynamic principle) of various types of UAVs, different types of UAVs can carry out different industrial applications according to their characteristics.

2、Analysis of industrial chain: wide technical fields and long industrial chain

The UAV industry chain can be roughly divided into R & D, production, sales, service and other subdivisions; According to the application field, UAV can be divided into military and civilian. In military terms, unmanned aerial vehicles are divided into reconnaissance aircraft and target aircraft. For civil use, UAV + industrial application is the real rigid demand of UAV; At present, the application of UAV in aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, self photography, express transportation, disaster relief, wildlife observation, infectious disease monitoring, surveying and mapping, news reporting, power inspection, disaster relief, film and television shooting, romantic manufacturing and other fields has been expanded, and the developed countries are also actively expanding the industrial application and development of UAV technology.

02 /Development status of the industry: the industry is in a high-speed development stage

In the past five years, China's consumer and industrial UAVs have achieved rapid development. The market development potential of China's civil UAVs is huge, and it has gradually become one of the important sectors of the global UAV industry, mainly thanks to the dual drive of the supply side and the demand side.

From the perspective of the overall competitive structure, frost&sullivan statistics show that since 2015, China's industrial UAV market share in the civil UAV market has increased year by year. In 2019, the industrial UAV market share in the civil UAV market reached 34.88%. By 2020, the industrial UAV market share reached about 45.61%, and the market share will continue to grow in the future.

03 /Prediction of industry development trend: tethering UAVs may become the main force of the industry

Since 2015, the application scale of industrial UAV in China has increased year by year. With the continuous improvement of the technical level of industrial UAV, the demand for UAV application in all walks of life will continue to increase, and the application field of industrial UAV will be deepened and refined, and the application field will continue to expand.

Due to its "heavy load, high lift off, long endurance" and other advantages, industrial tethered UAV largely conforms to the needs of the market in many fields and diversified performance, or becomes the main force in the industrial UAV industry.

As a pioneer in the field of professional tethered UAVs, Zhuoyi intelligence, based on years of UAV technology precipitation, perfectly integrates tethered UAVs with artificial intelligence, breaks through the technical problems of light multi rotor UAVs such as "small load and insufficient energy and power", and develops tethered UAVs with independent intellectual property rights.

Zhuoyi intelligent tethered UAV combines UAV and tethered integrated cable, and transmits electric energy and signals through the cable. It can realize 24-hour stagnation, heavy load, one key automatic take-off and landing, accurate and automatic follow-up of mobile platforms (on-board and shipboard), and has strong safety and stability. It has a number of domestic technical patents, and is suitable for disaster relief and rescue, border patrol, base safety, scenic spot monitoring, geological survey, field operation, forest fire prevention Emergency communication, public security anti-terrorism, traffic supervision, news interview, engineering monitoring, environmental monitoring, film and television shooting, scientific research, national defense and military industry and many other fields.

The future is the future of AI. In view of this, we have reason to believe that the industrial intelligent tethered UAV will also be a smooth path on the road of industrial upgrading driven by high-tech intelligent technology.
