Reinventing cargo logistics using drones – blueflite

Did you know that there are more than 130 billion packages delivered globally, and that figure is expected to double by 2025?* The sheer volume of deliveries is causing many challenges in the logistics industry, which affect cost, time to deliver and leave an impact on the environment. blueflite is changing this by creating a future where drones enable sustainable logistics that are safer, more cost-effective and make the world a better place. Through patented delivery drones, proprietary logistics software, and an intelligent in-flight control algorithm, blueflite provides a unique approach for the rapidly growing logistics industry.

As drone systems are being increasingly adopted, the current $8.5 billion market for this technology is expected to see substantial growth with an impressive 23.23% CAGR. Amidst this already booming industry, the cargo drone delivery sector specifically is expected to approach an inflection point in the near future, according to Morgan Stanley and McKinsey & Company.**

blueflite designs and manufactures advanced drone systems and software for an integrated approach to cargo delivery. The company’s patented platform handles all aspects of logistics drone operations and provides a one-stop solution to solve logistics challenges globally.

While the drone industry has been truly establishing itself over the past few years, blueflite has been on the ground floor. The company has been live and operating for more than 4 years, has raised over $3.4 million in grants & funding, and is already revenue-generating, with an annual turnover exceeding $1 million as of October 2022.

THE MARKET

In-Market, In-Flight, & Ready to Scale

For many analysts, drone delivery appears to be inevitable. In 2022, projections indicated that drones would be responsible for 1.5M deliveries, up from just under 500,000 in 2021. Due to their small size & the low capital required, this growth in drone delivery is expected to continue in the years ahead.
