Drone technology has now transformed from a mere hobbyist device into the operational backbone of various professional sectors. From regional mapping and construction surveys to precision agriculture, the industry's reliance on accurate aerial data has made drones a vital instrument for modern work efficiency.
The growth of the global drone market, projected to reach 33.9 billion USD by 2025, is a strong signal of the massive adoption of this technology. The domino effect of this development is being felt directly by businesses in the country. In Bekasi, drone repair service providers have reported a drastic surge in demand, with the number of units received for repair increasing up to threefold daily compared to the previous period.
The main driving factor behind this trend in Indonesia is the high demand for accurate geospatial data. National strategic projects, such as the development of the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) and the One Map policy, position Indonesia as the fastest-growing geospatial market in the ASEAN region. According to analytical reports, this sector is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.02 percent until 2031.
This condition creates promising new economic opportunities, especially for providers of after-sales service, calibration, and device maintenance. The use of drones as a work tool for large corporations demands high device reliability, so the service business is projected to remain a crucial pillar in keeping the drone technology ecosystem in Indonesia running optimally in the future.
