At present, more than 10,000 workers at about 300 to 400 civil UAV companies in China are involved in research and development, production and operations. In the near future, the country will need about 10,000 drones, industry insider Zhang Feng said.

With the sharp reduction in the manufacturing costs of UAVs in recent years, more and more companies have started using UAVs for business use, including for film and photography, agriculture, industrial operations and in the entertainment sector, Zhang added.
Since the development of civil UAVs is still in its initial stages, accidents caused by human factors have often been reported, while problems with supervision, monitoring and management still remain unresolved, the report stated.
There is still a lack of regulation governing the sector and more studies will be needed on how to apply the civil aviation management system to the industry, Zhang added.
