An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, as an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), or by several other names, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. The flight of UAVs may operate with various degrees of autonomy: either under remote control by a human operator, or fully or intermittently autonomously, by onboard computers. Compared to manned aircraft, UAVs are often preferred for missions that are too "dull, dirty or dangerous" for humans. They originated mostly in military applications, although their use is expanding in commercial, scientific, recreational, agricultural, and other applications, such as policing and surveillance, aerial photography, agriculture and drone racing. VTOL UAV refers to Vertical Take-Off and Landing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, one type of Drones. VTOL UAV categories include Multicopter, Helicopter and Hybrid.
Global VTOL UAV key players include DJI, PARROT, etc. Global top two manufacturers hold a share nearly 85%.
North America is the largest market, with a share about 65%, followed by China, and Europe, both have a share over 25 percent.
In terms of product, Small Sized VTOL UAV is the largest segment, with a share over 95%. And in terms of application, the largest application is Civil and Commercial, followed by Military, Homeland Security, etc.
This report quantifies the global VTOL UAV market in revenue (US$ million) and, where applicable, sales volume (Unit), using 2025 as the base year and providing annual historical and forecast data for 2021–2032.
It standardizes definitions of types and applications, harmonizes vendor attribution, and presents comparable time series by company, type, application, and region/country, including indicative price bands (US$/Unit) and concentration ratios (CR5/CR10).
The outputs are intended to support strategy development, budgeting, and performance benchmarking for manufacturers, new entrants, channel partners, and investors; the report also reviews technology shifts and notable product introductions relevant to VTOL UAV.
This section profiles leading manufacturers, combining 2021–2025 results with a 2026–2032 outlook.
