Therefore, the increasing number of drone accidents drives the growth of the drone insurance market.
The growing adoption of drones for commercial applications is anticipated to significantly drive the growth of the drone insurance market in the coming years.

Utilizing drone insurance can help commercial operators save money by mitigating the costs associated with liability claims and property damage. For instance, in May 2024, the International Trade Administration, a US-based government agency, reported that the Association of Unmanned Aviation (VUL) expects a 40% increase in the global number of commercially used drones from 2022 to 2030. Consequently, the rising adoption of drones in commercial sectors is a key factor driving the growth of the drone insurance market.
