Growth potential of the Drones industry in the UK


Recently, a document called the White Paper was produced and presented to the Government which set out ways for the Government to accelerate the growth of the Drone industry and transform the UK’s capability to achieve global leadership in Drone technology.

The document calls for the development of new testing grounds to deliver public safety.

The impact of drone technology is estimated to be a complete game changer in the global financial market. Barclays bank recently predicted that the global drone market is set to grow ten-fold in the next five years, reaching a value of £30 billion, yes £30 billion!

Robert Garbett, Chairman of the UK Drone Delivery Group told reporters: ‘Our guidance to Government, outlined in the White Paper, urges the creation of testing sites throughout the UK, a process that we in the Drone Delivery Group, have already started, with considerable interest, particularly from airports and large landowners.

‘The Government has been very supportive of the drone industry and it recognises that the speed of growth of this extraordinary sector will be guaranteed if we focus on the testing of its effectiveness and public safety, as outlined in our White Paper today. This acceleration of the drone industry will provide economic growth, jobs and career opportunities now, and for generations to come.’
