The drone market in 2025 is estimated to reach US $ 33.9 billion (approximately Rp474.6 trillion), driven by the expansion of the utilization of such devices to support industrial and transport sectors in the 'digital sky'.
"The digital sky will soon come true, which will be fueled by the rapid development of the drone industry, and the adoption of 5G-based technology," the report, released in Huawei's Global Analyst Summit 2018 in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, not long ago.
In 2016, the drone industry is worth US $ 5.3 billion (Rp74.2 trillion), which includes tools, software, services and applications. However, this is just the first step in realizing the "digital sky" in the future.
Currently the range of base transceiver stations (BTS) for low-altitude airspace (below 1,000 meters) and medium (3,000-5,000 meters) is still limited by a number of rules, so the utilization rate is low.
Huawei Wireless X Labs Digital Sky is working to expand network coverage in low-altitude airspace. The goal is to create a test environment conducive to innovation for drone use, even allowing packet delivery systems with drones or flying cabs to transport passengers.
"Autonomous vehicles will serve as infrastructure that supports the flying taxi business model. They do not need runways and can take off vertically like a helicopter. It will also address the mobility problems faced by the elderly and people with disabilities, "he wrote.
Furthermore, the use of airspace for the transport will leave a more green space on land. Streets that were once packed with motor vehicles can be re-used for green land or space for the community.
However, the adoption of this innovative technology can only be realized if supported by the integration of super-fast wireless technology into the drone industry, the expansion of network coverage to low-altitude airspace, improved industry standards, and the expansion of rules for efficient use of airspace.
"The scenario will allow interconnected drones in the transport, reconnaissance, disaster-rescue, and other urban management functions because currently the drones are only connected with remote controls," wrote the GIV 2025 report.
In addition to the transportation sector, it is predicted that the logistics industry (packet delivery) will benefit greatly from the expansion of drone utilization due to courier delivery, the allocation of goods ordering, the quantity of goods, and other elements will not be a problem in the era of Intelligence.
"The manual logistics system will be extinct, the logistics industry competition will be determined by innovation and personal-based services," he wrote.
In the research process of GIV 2025, Huawei applies a methodology that combines data and trend analysis to expose future trends and blueprints of the ICT industry. The data used in GIV 2025 is spread across more than 170 countries and the report includes three dimensions of connected devices, intelligent devices, and intelligent devices.
Huawei Global Analyst Summit was first held in 2004 and continued until 15 years later. This year, the title of HAS 2018 takes place on April 17-19 with various parallel sessions attended by experts from various industries around the world.
