Drones are becoming popular with young people.

But after three years of the epidemic, many people's incomes have declined, and some young people who cannot afford drones have begun to turn to second-hand mobile phones, so what is the basis for the rise of the used drone market? Which is better to buy second-hand or rent?

Why are second-hand drones so popular?

There are many reasons for the rise of the second-phone drone market. Many years ago, when a drone was launched as a training target, no one could have predicted how promising it would be.

But today, in logistics, security, mapping, urban construction and other fields, drones have made great strides, and it is no longer uncommon for ordinary consumers to play drones.

According to the statistics of professional institutions, by 2020, there were more than 500000 registered users and more than 510,000 registered drones in China. the huge consumer group has given birth to the rapid development of the UAV market. At the beginning of 2020, the scale of China's UAV market has increased to 43.5 billion yuan. If it is expanded to the entire civilian market, it is expected that the market size will reach 207.5 billion yuan by 2024.

In the field of application, drones go out of circles more frequently. last year, drones continued to raise funds in the primary market. according to incomplete statistics, the financing amount of the national UAV industry exceeded 10 billion yuan in 2021, and more than 20 enterprises raised more than 10 million yuan. The scale of the 100 billion-level market has laid the foundation for the rise of the second-hand UAV market.

At present, the power source of UAV is mostly lithium battery, which has a long service life and can be recycled for more than 300 times. Therefore, generally speaking, in addition to being damaged due to force majeure, the possibility of UAV damage is not high. As long as the fuselage is not damaged by external forces, the service life of UAV will be very long, which meets the conditions of second-hand utilization.

In addition, from the price point of view, the second mobile phone is much cheaper than the new phone, generally speaking, it is a common situation that it is thousands of yuan cheaper on average.

Good quality, many users, relatively cheap price, and the large scale of the market, a variety of factors superimposed gave birth to the second-hand UAV market.

However, it is worth noting that there is a characteristic of the second-hand market, that is, the market environment is complex and there are many uncertainties. For example, some drones have external problems, but they are easy to be hidden during second-hand trading, and some second-hand mobile phones are sold without fixing the problems during the renovation.

These are hidden security risks, of course, but they are common in the used drone market, so consumers need to keep their eyes open when buying used drones.

Which is better, second-hand or rental?

After nearly three years of the epidemic, many people's income has declined, so they have also downgraded their consumption. although second-hand mobile phones are cheaper than new phones, on the whole, the price is still on the high side for some consumers, and there will still be price pressure to buy directly.

In addition, there are some consumers who are curious about drones and want to know about drones out of curiosity and interest, but if they buy them directly, they will feel it is not cost-effective.

A few years ago, the concept of sharing exploded, shared bikes, shared portable battery, shared cars, shared offices and other consumer markets, shared drones also gradually appeared, but shared drones have not been developed, the reason is not difficult to understand. Drones are expensive and expensive, so the risk coefficient of operation is high.

In this case, corresponding to the secondary market, the leasing market is also developing. However, unlike the secondary market, the rental market has a wide range of consumers and uses, such as wedding shooting, city light shows, short film shooting, and so on, which are all one-time use, and it is not cost-effective to buy them directly. so leasing has the opportunity to show its talents.

Compared with buying second-hand phones, leasing may be a better choice for ordinary consumers, especially for rookies who spend on impulse.

Similarly, due to the high price of drones, companies have to bear high maintenance costs in case of machine failure after buying drones, so from the point of view of corporate customers, leasing may be a better choice.

With the increase in the use of scenes, from corporate customers to ordinary consumers, drones are "flying into ordinary homes", and the expansion of the drone market has also led to the development of related industries. In fact, both the secondary market and the rental market meet the needs of consumers and can bring value to consumers in a specific scenario, which is also the core of the growth of the industry.

Extended reading UAV is an unmanned aircraft operated by radio remote control equipment and self-provided program control device, or operated completely or intermittently by on-board computer.

According to Euro data, there are 987 domestic companies related to drones, including 30 listed companies and 248 foreign companies, including 9 listed companies. From a domestic point of view, domestic enterprises have raised a total of 689 financing times, with a total market capitalization of 2.63 trillion yuan.
