Market Overview

Drones are sometimes known as unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. The speed and versatility of UAV technology offer nearly infinite possibilities for providing relief and medical supplies to individuals in remote or hazardous areas. UAVs could be used in the healthcare sector in a variety of ways. They consist of prehospital emergency care, surveillance, and accelerated laboratory diagnostic testing. As of right now, UAVs are capable of delivering AEDs, blood supplies, and immunizations. Drones could be used to deliver supplies and medication to patients who are receiving care at home as opposed to in a hospital. Critical healthcare supplies like blood, vaccines, prescription medications, first aid supplies, and medical samples have all been transported in part by drones. When it comes to responding to emergencies, medical deliveries can reach distant or otherwise unreachable locations faster than ambulances. The increasing demand for medical drone applications and expedited medication delivery is driving growth in the US medical drone industry. The US medical drone market is also being driven by advancements in current technologies. The strong demand for drones for medical applications is the main driver of the market's rapid rise. Furthermore, growing pressure from authorities to concentrate on enabling medical services through the advancement of current technologies is driving the US medical drone market.

Driving Factors

The United States' robust economic standing and the existence of an advanced healthcare system are driving market expansion. The need for high-quality healthcare services is rising as a result of the nation's GDP boom and rising per capita income. Good government reimbursement practices are driving up the cost of healthcare for patients and enhancing the quality of care provided, both of which are driving up market expansion. Leading authorities are concentrating more on developing current technologies to help with medical services. The rise in the development of smart healthcare systems which aid in real-time analysis and monitoring of patients to send alerts and notifications ensures giving effective treatment to patients. Medical drones are seeing a rise due to healthcare players' increasing focus on deploying cutting-edge equipment in hospitals to provide patients with high-quality care. Due to its ability to help healthcare facilities cover a large region and provide patients with on-demand healthcare, medical drones are in great demand.

Restraining Factors

Though, as of legal limitations, operational limitations, approvals, and commercial and industrial usage, OEMs and end users have encountered a variety of obstacles. The necessary licenses and BVLOS flight operations have been authorized by the US. However, a lack of unified air traffic management prevents all aerial platforms from operating securely in controlled airspace. Reducing the operational challenges and drone-related incidents that BVLOS aircraft encounter is an important matter. Furthermore, one of the major market barriers to the increasing number of remotely flown drones for medical delivery applications is the lack of qualified pilots for end-users performing BVLOS flight operations.

Market Segmentation

The United States medical drones market share is classified into product type and application.

• The rotor drone segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period.   

The United States medical drones market is segmented by product type into fixed-wing drones, hybrid drone, and rotor drone. Among them, the rotor drone segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period. This is attributed to rotor drones being in high demand for monitoring and surveillance, sterilization of public spaces, medical supplies, effective vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capabilities, and restricted space operation.

• The blood transfer segment dominates the market with the largest market share over the predicted period.

The United States medical drones market is segmented by application into blood transfer, drugs/pharmaceutical transfer, vaccination programs, and others. Among them, the blood transfer segment dominates the market with the largest market share over the predicted period. Drones are used to transport blood samples between medical facilities. Additionally, drones can cover a three-hour journey in just fifteen minutes. They are therefore essential in providing blood to patients in an emergency. Furthermore, blood is required for all major treatments, including childbirth. Many trauma emergency patients die when blood is withheld from them. This will increase the need for quick blood supplies, which will grow the drone business. Given that it is now simpler to deliver vaccines to remote areas, it is anticipated that another market segment, vaccination programs, will expand successfully shortly.
