TEN DIGITAL IDEAS FROM OLIVER WYMAN

This report examines the rising importance of drones as a source of digital data, projecting market growth to nearly $7 billion by 2020, driven by regulatory clarity, decreasing costs, and innovation. Industries such as transportation (e.g., BNSF, Network Rail), oil (e.g., BP, Shell), mining (e.g., Rio Tinto), and retail (e.g., Walmart) are adopting drones for applications like inspection, monitoring, and analytics, leading to cost savings, improved safety, and enhanced data insights. Key benefits include faster tasks through technologies like thermal imaging and multi-sensor data collection. Companies must evaluate options for drone operations—whether in-house or outsourced—based on factors like data security, development speed, and long-term investment goals, with a need for big-data analytics capabilities. Drones are poised to radically alter competitive dynamics in the information landscape by providing new data-gathering strategies and opportunities for growth.
