UAV Battery Market Report, By UAV Type (Medium Altitude Long Endurance, High Altitude Long Endurance, Tactical UAVs and Small UAVs ), By Battery Type and by Region - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2028

The rising demand for UAVs/drones in the healthcare sector is expected to drive the growth of the market in the near future. For instance, in April 2019, the U.S.-based UAV manufacturer and logistics services provider, Zipline, collaborated with Ghana's Ministry of Health to launch a deliver drone service for medical suppliers in Ghana. Furthermore, in March 2019, Matternet, Inc. entered into a partnership with United Parcel Service of America, Inc. (UPS) to deliver medical samples through drone in all the hospital across Raleigh, U.S. In October 2017, Flirtey, a drone delivery service company, collaborated with REMSA Health, an ambulance service provider, to introduce automated external defibrillator (AED) delivery drone service in the U.S. These factors are expected to facilitate growth of the market.

Market Dynamics

The increasing use of solar panels in order to enhance flight time of UAVs is one of the key trends, which is expected to drive growth of the market over the forecast period. Majority of UAV OEMs such as SolAero Technologies, Sion Power Corporation, and AeroVironment are focused on implementing solar powered panels in their UAV models in order to offer extra flight time and make battery of UAV as a secondary power backup for UAVs. For instance, in May 2018, BAE Systems and Prismatic signed an agreement for the development of a solar powered high altitude long endurance UAV termed as PHASA-35. Moreover, in 2020, Sion Power Corporation designed the Licerion High Energy (HE) lithium-metal rechargeable batteries for UAV platforms which uses photovoltaic cells mounted on the surface of the aircraft to recharge batteries.

Lithium-ion and lithium polymer batteries are cost effective and offer high power density compared to nickel-cadmium batteries. However, lithium batteries also suffer from heating and fire issues when in direct contact with air or due to leakage in their covering. This can cause severe damage to UAVs or impact their efficiency. Furthermore, low battery life of delivery drones is another factor that could adversely affect the growth of the market. The battery life is still restricted to around 20-30 minutes in one charge while carrying a lightweight payload. These factors are expected to hinder growth of the market over the forecast period.
