TIL that after a decade, Skydio has shipped fewer than 50,000 drones.
“Skydio has produced a total of 45,000 drones,” reports Bloomberg Businessweek, as part of a good profile of the self-flying dronemaker. Skydio spokesperson Kiersten Bagley tells me it’s more than 45,000, but still under 50K.
Am I surprised that a company which pivoted from consumer and still assembles products in pricy Silicon Valley isn’t making more? No — but it shows that Skydio’s still small. The global drone market was already measured in millions back in 2017; DJI has sold over 300,000 agricultural drones alone.
