The global market for drone data services will grow at an annual rate of 37.3% between 2023 and 2028, according to North American market studies. Thus, the rise of new technologies based on big data, AI and new software are some of the factors that have influenced the use of these devices for a greater number of specialized services.
According to DJI Costa Rica, some of the benefits for the use of drones in companies are:
