The Competitive Area of the Wind Turbine Inspection Drones Market is Defined by Key Players Like:–Aeryon Labs, Hexagon, Strat Aero, Cyberhawk Innovations, and UpWind Solutions. Some other major industry participants include AIRPIX, AeroVision Canada, Aerialtronics, DJI, AutoCopter, DroneView Technologies, HUVr, Eagle Eye Solutions, Intel, Monarch, Romax Technology, and Pro-Drone
Wind Turbine Inspection Drones are becoming increasingly popular as they can detect problems a lot quicker than a human being would. They can find problems on older turbines as well as inspect the blades of modern turbines, as well as the main components of the wind turbines themselves. They can also identify any issues on the compressor and generator shaft as these are the most susceptible to problems, as well as identifying any cracks in the body of the turbines. However, as mentioned, this equipment is only available to experienced wind turbine inspection technicians who have had years of training and experience.
The drone inspection is a vital process used in various sectors to analyze and monitor the performance of the given equipment. Drone inspections as particularly witnessed massive adoption in wind turbine projects as an alternative for manual inspection. Wind turbine inspection is a risky job and thus inspection drones provide safety. The demand for inspection drones has been on a rise with technological advancements in drones. Recently, in February 2019, Sulzer & Schmid Laboratories, a Swiss technology company, introduced new drones 3DX HD for inspection of wind turbine rotor blades. Such product launches can stimulate growth of the wind turbine inspection drones market significantly in the near future.
Despite the fact that these drones are advantageous, there are stringent regulations on performing drone operations. Strict regulatory policies are required to fulfill, in order to use these drones for inspection. Bedsides, these drones require skilled personnel to operate and a dearth of such professionals can limit their adoption in the near future.

The first application was for tracking the position of damaged or missing turbines on large wind farms. These large farms often cover a large area and as the technology has continued to advance, it is now possible to inspect these farms from the comfort and privacy of an airborne platform. These drones can provide high-quality images and videos and also reduce downtime. As a matter of fact, these drones can observe defects in the wind turbine that are not visible to the naked eye. Hence, these advantages could boost the wind turbine inspection drones market.
The next use of the technology is to inspect wind turbine inspection systems on a smaller scale. Many farmers and landowners will install these machines onto their property and then use them to monitor the performance of their machinery. If there is a problem, such as a bad connection or a slow speed, then they can send the machine into action to identify the exact issue. The U.S. has emerged as a leading player in the wind turbine inspection drones market since wind turbine operators are adopting advanced inspection technology sooner than the rest of the world. The European region has also shown a positive response to these drones since many European countries are moving towards renewable energy.
