Drone Investment Database 2015-2025

The Most Comprehensive Drone Investment Database Available: Understanding the drone market requires more than headlines and annual summaries. It requires deal-level data - structured, verified, and detailed enough to support real analysis. This database delivers exactly that.

Covering 1,657 drone investments from 2015 to 2025, it offers a full decade of market intelligence across the entire drone value chain. Whether you are tracking the rise of dual-use platforms, analyzing shifts in capital toward hardware, or mapping the investor landscape, this database provides the foundation to do so with confidence.

What's Inside: The database covers all major sectors - hardware, software, and services - and breaks every deal down by type, including angel, seed, early-stage, later-stage, IPO, PIPE, and more. This level of granularity allows you to analyze not just how much was invested, but how the structure of drone financing has evolved over time and what that signals about market maturity.

The dataset also includes 82 counter-drone investment deals, making it one of the few resources that captures this fast-growing defensive segment alongside the broader commercial market. To complete the picture, the database lists 3,507 corresponding investors - giving you direct visibility into who is active in the space, across which deal types, and at what stages.

Who It's For: This database is built for investors and fund managers tracking deal flow and benchmarking activity, drone companies conducting competitive analysis or preparing fundraising, consultants and analysts advising clients on market positioning, and research institutions studying the evolution of the drone economy.

Why It Matters Now: The drone market is in transition. After years of decline, 2025 marked a record-breaking recovery - and early 2026 data suggests the momentum is continuing. Having a reliable, structured dataset that captures this entire cycle, from the boom years before 2022 through the trough and back to record highs, is a genuine strategic advantage.
