  • Opportunities:Drones are a new technology that can be improved in many aspects. The collaboration with suppliers and developers of this technology creates the opportunity to enter a market that seems to be at the beginning of a remarkable expansion. This technology can soon develop into a means of transport at a national or even international level and the company can greatly benefit from its understanding of this technology.
  • Threats:One of the greatest obstacles in the wider implementation of transportation via drones is the current and future legislation. Drones that are used to transfer small packages of commercial products can also be used to carry dangerous materials, so their use can be considered as threatening to the state or society and consequently banned or limited by the government. Additionally, the risk of vandalism against the drone or theft of the product that it is carrying can be difficult and costly to overcome and the possible leak of private data that can follow a theft can have unpredictable complications.
