Five Top Ways to Profit from a Potential $355.55 Billion Drone Market October 02, 2025 - Baystreet.ca The sky’s the limit for drone stocks, such as ZenaTech (NASDAQ: ZENA), AIRO Group Holdings (NASDAQ: AIRO), Red Cat Holdings (NASDAQ: RCAT), Ondas Holdings (NASDAQ: ONDS), and Leonardo DRS Inc. (NASDAQ: DRS). Not only are drones quickly becoming an essential tool for the U.S. government, but also for multi-billion-dollar businesses involved in defense, construction, logistics, agriculture, oil and gas, public security, deliveries, engineering, and telecom. All of which is helping to strengthen a potential $355.55 billion drone-as-a-service (DaaS) market, according to Research and Markets, by 2032. In addition, according to Precedence Research, the global drone services market is estimated to be $33.55 billion, and is predicted to surpass around $555.58 billion by 2034, representing a healthy CAGR of 36.60% between 2024 and 2034. The North America drone services market size is calculated at $8.84 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a fastest CAGR of 36.78% during the forecast year. Making DaaS even more attractive is the strong business demand for enhanced efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Plus, with DaaS there’s no need for upfront costs or operational licensing. All of which is a solid catalyst for DaaS companies, such as ZenaTech (NASDAQ: ZENA). In fact, ZenaTech’s Drone as a Service (DaaS) model provides business and government customers with a flexible and convenient on-demand pay-per-use or regular subscription access to drone-based services for a variety of surveying, inspection, maintenance, power washing, indoor inventory management, and precision agriculture services. The model eliminates the need to invest in capital costs, pilots, maintenance, and compliance to benefit from the speed, precision, and safety benefits of drones. The company is acquiring established and profitable old-tech service businesses ripe for drone innovation to advance a global vision for a scalable, tech-enabled multiservice and multilocation drone business anchored by existing customers and recurring revenue. Fueling upside, ZenaTech Just Announced the Establishment of Its Global Drone as a Service (DaaS) Business Headquarters in Orlando ZenaTech just selected Orlando, Florida as the headquarters of its Drone as a Service business. From this headquarters, the company plans to support its growing national and international network of acquisitions, and the integration and rollout of its drone services and platforms. The company is currently securing a 20,000 square-foot head office facility that will serve as a central hub for operations nationwide while also directly serving its Southeast region offices. "Orlando’s unique combination of aerospace talent, government partnerships, year-round operating conditions, and a supportive business climate makes it the ideal choice for establishing our DaaS headquarters. It also strengthens our ability to unify vision, culture, and leadership across our national and global network. From commercial enterprises to government agencies, we believe this hub will allow us to deliver consistent value while meeting the growing demand for drone services across surveying, inspections, and new services,” said Shaun Passley, ZenaTech CEO. “Orlando’s strategic location also positions us to scale our network efficiently, driving innovation to help customers achieve greater automation and cost savings with next-generation drone technologies." In addition, the Orlando headquarters is expected to generate job growth. ZenaTech currently employs three DaaS staff members locally and plans to expand to ten by the end of 2025 and up to 50 by the second quarter of 2026. Also, ZenaTech has now completed 10 US acquisitions toward its goal of acquiring and establishing 25 DaaS locations by the end of Q2, 2026. Other related developments from around the markets include: AIRO Group Holdings, a global leader in advanced aerospace and defense technologies announced at EAA AirVenture 2025 in Oshkosh, WI, the development of its new middle-mile, medium-lift cargo drone and the expansion of its operations into the YMX Innovation Zone in Mirabel, Quebec. The initiative is led by its Electric Air Mobility segment, Jaunt Air Mobility, and its Canadian subsidiary, Jaunt Air Mobility Canada. Jaunt’s presence in this hub for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) innovation strengthens its collaboration with Vertiko Mobilité, a Canadian leader in AAM operations and ground infrastructure development, and benefits from the support of Aéroports de Montréal (ADM). Red Cat Holdings, a U.S.-based provider of advanced, all-domain robotic solutions for defense and national security, today announced a strategic collaboration with Safe Pro Group Inc., a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-computer vision technologies. Through this collaboration, Safe Pro’s patented AI-powered image analysis technology will be embedded into Red Cat’s Black Widow drones, enabling U.S. and allied ground personnel to rapidly identify and locate more than 150 types of explosive threats including landmines, anti-personnel mines, cluster munitions, and unexploded ordnance (UXO) in real-time. The integration will allow Safe Pro’s Object Threat Detection (SPOTD) system to process real-time 4k video onboard the Black Widow at the tactical edge and deliver live threat data directly to military situational awareness platforms such as the U.S. Army’s Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) software ecosystem, enhancing and accelerating decision making critical to mission success. Ondas Holdings, a leading provider of private industrial wireless networks and commercial drone and automated data solutions, announced a definitive agreement to acquire Apeiro Motion, an Israeli developer of advanced ground robotics, fiber optic communications systems and mission-critical automation technologies which will be operated under the Company's Ondas Autonomous Systems business unit. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025. "Apeiro will bring to Ondas a rare combination of world-class engineering talent, field-proven platform development capabilities, and trusted relationships with premier defense customers," said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas. "Their team has shown an exceptional ability to deliver mature, mission-ready autonomous systems that are both innovative and operationally valuable. We believe this acquisition will align perfectly with our strategy to lead the autonomous defense and security sector by bringing operating scale, commercial reach, and platform integration to the next generation of dual-use robotic technologies." Leonardo DRS Chairman and CEO Bill Lynn just said, “Leonardo DRS delivered another set of strong financial results marked by healthy bookings, solid organic revenue growth and continued profit and margin expansion in the second quarter. The need to deter and contest heightened global threats continues to bolster customer demand for our innovative, high-performance technologies.
