Increasing supply chain and manufacturing disruptions are limiting the sales of drones owing to the COVID-19 outbreak. Drone manufacturers are struggling to meet production schedules across the world owing to the disruptions caused by coronavirus lockdowns in Chinese manufacturing systems. According to Drone Life's article posted in March 2020, Skydio, a US-based company engaged in assembling drones, is suffering from supply chain disruptions caused by the slowdown in the manufacturing of the parts.

Moreover, many companies are experiencing slowdowns or shutdowns in manufacturing activities due to COVID-19 lockdowns, which is impacting the availability of subcomponents to the assembling companies in a snowball effect. Therefore, the disruptions in the supply chain and manufacturing disruptions are expected to restrict the growth of the commercial drone market during 2020.

Drone leasing is a better offer for most companies seeking to save on drone-related investments. Many entry-level companies that do not have sufficient financial backing can aid themselves by leasing drone-related solutions rather than purchasing them at full price. For example, Kespry and LiDARUSA are companies that focus on leasing commercial drones to other companies.

In April 2020, Draganfly Inc., a Canada-based manufacturer of drone and UAV technologies, acquired Dronelogics Systems Inc for $1.74 million. With the acquisition, the two businesses are expected to diversify their drone manufacturing technology. The product offerings and engineering advancements of Draganfly are perfectly complemented by Dronelogics. Together, the businesses would strengthen their position as market leaders in the global UAV and UVS sectors while offering specialized services to their mutual clients and business associates. Dronelogics Systems Inc. is a Canada-based company that sells drones, creates specialized solutions, provides customer training and business consultation for SFOC and UAV use.
