Shenzhen has become a veritable global drone capital. There are not only “Dajiang†but also more than 300 drone companies.
On June 19, Yang Jincai, president of Shenzhen UAV Association, told the reporter of "Daily Economic News" that "Shenzhen has become the distribution center of global drones, occupying about 70% of the global civilian small drone market share. More than 300 drone companies have annual sales of over 20 billion yuan." Among the various types of civil drones, plant protection drones (unmanned aircraft for agricultural and forestry plant protection operations) are becoming hot spots in the market.
According to statistics, as of December 2015, there were more than 400 R&D and production enterprises in China, among which more than 100 companies produced plant protection drones.
Policy boosts the drone industry
When it comes to civilian drones, many people will say "Dajiang innovation." As the distribution center of the global drone industry, Shenzhen is not only the “Dajiangâ€, but has more than 300 drone companies, which makes Shenzhen the “global drone capitalâ€.
“At the CES show in 2016, Shenzhen UAV companies accounted for half of the domestic companies and became one of the main players in the venue.†Yang Jincai said that the development of Shenzhen UAVs is inseparable from the government support, and the municipal government will be equipped with drones. Support the construction of the UAV industrial base for development priorities. At present, there are more than 300 UAV enterprises in Shenzhen, with annual sales of more than 20 billion yuan, an annual growth rate of more than 30%.
In addition, Shenzhen City has formulated the “Shenzhen Aerospace Industry Development Plan (2013~2020)†and supports it in batches every year, among which UAVs are the key support areas. Supported areas include drone design testing, final assembly integration, and human-computer interaction.
In addition to the policy support level, Shenzhen's industry associations have also boosted the development of the drone industry. From June to August 2015, after the preparation and discussion, the Shenzhen UAV Industry Alliance successively released the "General Standard for Civil UAV Systems", "General Standard for Single Rotor Helicopter Systems" and "General Standard for Public Safety UAV Systems". Waiting for seven local industry drone standards.
“Starting with the application of Shenzhen local standards, then national standards, and finally pushing the standards to the international, becoming an international standard, laying a good foundation for the Chinese drone industry to occupy the international market.†Yang Jincai said.
The reporter noted that as a major town in the national and even the global drone industry, Shenzhen is attracting many unmanned aircraft companies to participate. At the recent ITS exhibition in Shenzhen, more than 110 UAV companies have participated in more than 230 UAVs, in addition to the familiar fixed-wing models, multi-rotor models, as well as airships, paratroopers, and flapping wings. Unmanned drone models are on display.
"More than 90% of the world's drone products are shipped from Shenzhen to the whole country and even the world, especially consumer-class drones." Yang Jincai said that although drones have many applications in police and firefighting, they are specialized. There is still a lot of imagination in the application space of the field.
Plant protection drone market exceeds 100 billion
UAVs are becoming "all-round players", and their application scenarios are more and more, including aerial photography, anti-terrorism, traffic patrol, environmental protection, emergency rescue, exploration and mapping. The industry believes that with the increase of application scenarios, the next 5 to 10 years will be the golden age of the drone industry, and the domestic market will reach more than 200 billion yuan.
In many UAV application scenarios, plant protection drones are becoming the slogan of the industry with the development of modern agriculture in China. According to a survey conducted by the China Agricultural Machinery Circulation Association, the proportion of agricultural machinery cooperative organizations, large grain farmers, family farms, and farmer cooperatives in the consumption sector is growing at an average annual rate of 15%, the rise of new agricultural entities, and the new situation. A series of changes in the capital market have provided favorable conditions for the development of agricultural aircraft operations in China.
Statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture show that the area of ​​crop pests and diseases in 2016 is expected to be nearly 5.5 billion mu. If one third of the country's land is planted with drones, the market for drone plant protection services can reach up to 80 billion yuan. According to the number of drones and the area of ​​work in 2015, the number of corresponding drones will exceed 300,000 units, and the sales amount of this part will reach 30 billion yuan. Comprehensive consideration, the total size of the plant protection drone market can exceed 100 billion yuan.
"With the vigorous development of the plant protection drone industry, various problems have surfaced, such as the lack of long-term stable incentive policies and long-term development mechanisms." Yang Jincai said that the quality and technical level of drone products and platform systems, Industry standards, safety management and control, etc. need not be further improved, and the “National UAV Agricultural Plant Protection Technical Standards Alliance†should be established in the field of UAV agricultural plant protection.
“The bottleneck of plant protection drone technology is to achieve synergistic improvement in battery life and load capacity.†Hu Xuedong, senior research manager of Aowei Cloud Network Intelligent Hardware Division, told reporters that the obstacles faced by domestic plant protection drones mainly come from market acceptance and operation. The pattern is immature.
