How Drone Delivery is Changing the Future of Ecommerce

September 13, 2019

The ecommerce industry is growing at an exponential rate and business owners and the technology used to operate this industry must continue to evolve to succeed. One technology that’s likely to have an impact on the industry in the coming years is delivery drones. In fact, the integration of self-driving technology will eventually make these drones the future of the ecommerce industry.

Currently, major corporations around the world are slowly integrating drones — or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) — into their delivery operations. Amazon is already dominating the ecommerce industry with 49% of all ecommerce sales, and because of this Amazon Prime Air is taking the lead by introducing delivery drones. Since 2012, the drone market has received over $2 billion in investments, making the commercial use of delivery drones inevitable.

Believe it or not, companies such as Amazon, UPS and Dominos have already taken advantage of this technology. Items such as morning espressos, pizzas and organs for life-saving transplants have already reached their destination, proving that the use of delivery drones are endless. However, there are some growing pains.

The sheer number of government regulations for commercial flights, safety concerns for the general population and package security are only a few of the concerns facing the future use of drones. Once past these hurdles, delivery drones will only promote more instantaneous shopping, propelling the ecommerce industry into a new world.
