Annual Growth Projected To Be In Excess Of 15 Percent

A new report, now available on ASDReports projects that the drone simulator market will grow from an estimated $376.9 million in 2017 to $764.7 million by 2022, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15.20% from 2017 to 2022. The increasing use of drones for commercial and military applications has led to increased demand for drone pilots across the globe, thereby fueling the growth of the drone simulator market.

Based on platform, the "Drone Simulator Market by Platform (Commercial, Military), Component (Software, Hardware), Device Type (Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality), Drone Type (Fixed Wing, Quadcopter, Helicopter), System, and Region - Global Forecast to 2022" forecasts that the commercial segment of the drone simulator market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2017 to 2022, owing to the increasing demand for drones in various industries, such as agriculture and construction, for monitoring and inspection applications. Commercial drone pilots require certifications and licenses to fly drones. The rising need for pilot training is expected to fuel the growth of the commercial segment of the drone simulator market.

Based on device type, the augmented reality (AR) segment of the drone simulator market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2017 to 2022, owing to the increasing demand for augmented reality drone simulators in the commercial and military markets. An AR drone simulator helps pilots to learn to fly drones in a safe and immersive manner.

The drone simulator market in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This anticipated high growth is mainly attributed to the increase in demand for drones in emerging economies, such as China and India. Moreover, the presence of prominent drone manufacturers, such as DJI (China), and their contribution toward the improvement of drone simulators are expected to fuel the market’s growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

Major players operating in the drone simulator market include CAE Inc. (Canada), L-3 Simulation & Training (UK), Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. (Israel), Leonardo S.p.A. (Italy), Havelsan A.S. (Turkey), Simlat UAS & ISR Training Solutions (Israel), and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (US).
