Drones market in Poland will grow by 22.75% this year - report

The value of the drone market will grow to PLN 201.31 million this year, representing a 22.75 percent growth, according to a study done by Instytut Mikromakro. Most of the income comes from sales, but that segment is declining (55 percent in 2016 vs 62 percent in 2016), while the services segment, such as training, is on the rise (33 percent vs 17 percent last year). Domestic production is also falling (12 percent in 2016 and 21 percent in 2015). According to the report, it stems from the fact that the military and uniformed services are not making any big orders at the moment. “The segment of training the unmanned aerial vehicles operators is worth PLN 13.8 million, we have 46 certified training centers and 3,600 trained operators. This is the third highest in the world and the best in the whole of Europe,” the report stated.
