Drones and the Future of Art Dealers
Overview Drones are set to revolutionize the world of art dealing, offering innovative ways to transport, display, and sell artworks. As per a Grand View Research report, the global drone market size is projected to reach $58.4 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 13.8%. This guide discusses the use of drones within the art dealing industry, including statistics on the growth of the drone market, the predicted increase in drone use for transport and display, and the rise of virtual art exhibitions.
Drone Usage in Transport The soaring growth in the drone market has presented a unique opportunity for art dealers. As McKinsey reports, delivery drones could account for 20 percent of all consumer deliveries by 2030, a huge leap from the current number. For art dealers, this could mean quicker, cheaper, and safer deliveries of artworks. Ships and traditional courier companies often expose artworks to risk of damage, theft, or loss - issues that can be minimized with drone technology. This would allow dealers to operate more efficiently and securely.
Drones in Art Display Beyond transportation, drones are poised to play a significant role in the way artworks are displayed. Drone technology will allow for larger-than-life displays and even virtual art exhibitions. In fact, according to a Statista report, the global online art market is expected to reach over $9.32 billion by 2024. This shows a great potential for virtual exhibitions facilitated by drones, offering art lovers an immersive experience of exploring art from their homes.
Drone Sales in Art Moreover, the use of drones can offer innovative ways to sell artwork. As the use of drones for recreation or professional photography increases, so too does the scope for artists and art dealers. A Markets and Markets report estimates that the drone services market size is set to grow from $4.4 billion in 2019 to $63.6 billion by 2025, a CAGR of 55.9%. This has art dealers eyeing drones as a new canvas for artistic expression. Drone light shows, aerial photography, and 3D-generated artistry are just a few of the ways drones can act as a creative medium, and therefore offer a new market for art dealers.
Key Takeaways • Drones are projected to play a vital role in the transportation, display, and sale of artwork • Use of drones could lead to an increase in the efficiency and security of artwork transportation • The rise of virtual art exhibitions facilitated by drones can offer an immersive art experience • The growing drone services market presents a new realm for artists to express and art dealers to invest
