Commercial Drones

Scaling the future of commercial drone innovation

The commercial drone market is projected to grow by up to 40% through 2030, as industries such as agriculture, defense, entertainment, utilities, real estate, and construction increasingly adopt drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to transform how they operate. These technologies offer compact, fast, and cost-effective solutions for inspection, delivery, data collection, and environmental monitoring — reducing emissions, minimizing operational risks, and enhancing efficiency across sectors.

To meet this rising demand, Jabil delivers smart, scalable drone solutions backed by deep engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain expertise. We support the full spectrum of drone functionality, including:

Navigating Drone Regulations with Confidence

As commercial drone applications expand, some use cases may enter into regulated airspace or controlled operations — often without companies realizing it. That’s where Jabil’s expertise becomes essential. 

We understand the fine line between general commercial use and specialized applications that require regulatory oversight. Jabil’s Defense and Aerospace (JDAS) team can help you navigate complex compliance requirements, avoid costly delays, and integrate regulatory planning into your development process from day one. 

With JDAS, you can:

  • Identify when defense and aerospace protocols apply

  • Address regulatory challenges before they impact timelines

  • Integrate compliance into your development roadmap
