The VTOL rotor-wing drone can fly up to 15 miles and deliver packages with weight up to five pounds.

Such initiatives, both by the players in the market and the regulatory bodies, is currently helping the growth of the market in North America.

For instance, in December 2018, Zomato, an Indian food delivery company, announced that it had acquired a drone delivery startup TechEagle Innovations as it aimed to enable a drone-based delivery ecosystem in India.

In addition, in May 2019, the German postal giant DHL Express, partnered with Chinese drone manufacturer EHang, to jointly launch a last-mile drone delivery solution in urban parts of China.
