It’s that time again: the drone industry wants your two cents. The 8th edition of the 2025 Global Drone Industry Survey is now live — and this year’s version is bigger than ever.
To help make this the most comprehensive drone survey yet, organizers are sweetening the deal. By filling it out, you’ll not only shape the future of the drone industry — you’ll also be entered to win some pretty sweet prizes. We’re talking $500 gift vouchers (Amazon, Rakuten or Coupang — your choice), free tickets to top drone events, and exclusive access to the final industry report.
Take the 2025 Global Drone Industry Survey here.
What is the 2025 Global Drone Industry Survey?
Run annually by Drone Industry Insights (DII), this survey serves as the foundation for the firm’s highly-regarded State of Drones report. It gathers responses from every corner of the drone world — from pilots and policymakers to software developers and hardware manufacturers.
The data collected powers some of the best insights in the industry — like where the money is going, what tech is trending, and what challenges drone companies face. It’s also the report that we at The Drone Girl often cite in our own coverage.
Why should you take the 2025 drone survey?
Aside from helping shape the drone industry’s future, you’ll get:
- A free copy of the State of Drones 2025 whitepaper: It’s like getting a crystal ball for the industry. For drone nerds like me, this is Christmas.
- A chance to win a $500 gift card: Amazon, Rakuten, or Coupang — your call.
- Free tickets to top global drone and tech expos: Some of the top 2025 drone events (and even 2026 events) on the prize list include:
- Japan Drone (Chiba, Japan, June 4-6, 2025)
- International Drone Show (Odense, Denmark, June 18-19, 2025)
- Commercial UAV Expo (Las Vegas, USA, September 2-4, 2025)
- DroneX (London, UK, September 30–October 1, 2025)

- Drone Show Korea (Busan, South Korea, February 25-27, 2026)
- Xponential Europe (Düsseldorf, Germany, March 24-26, 2026)
Whether you’re in it for the analysis, the free stuff, or both, it’s worth taking the 8-15 minutes to fill out the form. The survey closes June 30, 2025, so don’t put it off. Take the survey now while you’re reading this.
Real-world impact of drone surveys
DII’s Drone Industry Barometer doesn’t just sit on a shelf. It’s used by companies to make big decisions, by policymakers to shape legislation, and by folks like me to tell you what’s really happening in the skies.
Last year’s survey helped us show you:
