The global market for drones will climb to at least $1 billion by 2018, according to the latest numbers from the Consumer Electronics Association.That’s up from a global market forecast of $130 million for 2015, up 50 percent, with sales of about 425,000 units. That’s according to a presentation by Shawn DuBravac, the CEA chief economist, during a wide-ranging briefing on the state of the electronics industry in advance of the International CES technology show.
DuBravac says we could easily see more than 100 different types of drones shown at the event this week.
