NEW YORK, January 15, 2026 — Leads & Copy — The drones-as-a-service (DaaS) market is experiencing rapid growth as companies increasingly prefer to hire drone service providers rather than invest in equipment, training, and regulatory compliance, according to a press release. The global DaaS market is currently estimated at $6–8 billion and is projected to expand significantly.
ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA) is scheduled to present updates on its global Drone as a Service expansion and defense sector progress at upcoming investor conferences. Other companies making moves in the drone and related industries include Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI), Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO), AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE: UAVS), and Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCAT).
From an investment perspective, the DaaS model offers a recurring revenue stream. Businesses that integrate drones for tasks like inspections, mapping, and monitoring tend to become repeat customers. Improvements in software and automation are enabling service providers to enhance efficiency and profitability. Projections indicate that the DaaS market could potentially double or triple by the end of the decade, reaching a total market value of $15–20+ billion.
For retail investors, the focus is on the data and consistent revenue generated through reports, analytics, and ongoing service contracts. Service-oriented drone companies often exhibit more stable cash flow and long-term customer relationships compared to those focused solely on hardware. DaaS is becoming a long-term growth area driven by automation and enhanced data utilization.
ZenaTech ($ZENA) (NASDAQ: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) is scheduled to present at the Emerging Growth Conference on January 22, 2026. The company has also been invited to the Deal Flow Discovery Conference from January 27–29, 2026, at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and the Noble Capital Markets Emerging Growth Virtual Equity Conference on February 5, 2026.
