Global Stock Video Market: Growing demand for stock videos captured by drones

The introduction of drone technology has had a significant impact on the shooting of aerial videos and have not only lowered the costs but have also made it possible to produce shots that were previously nearly impossible. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones are considered to be relatively inexpensive and produce high-quality videos. Stock videos captured through drones are extensively used in filmmaking by creating a new era in visual content creation. Some vendors such as Getty Images, Shutterstock, and Footage Firm offer stock footage captured by drones. For instance, in June 2018, Shutterstock announced a new distribution partnership with Dronebase Inc., which will add a large volume of professional-quality, 4K aerial stock footage to Shutterstock’s video collection. The rise in the availability of such stock videos captured by drones is likely to increase the demand for stock videos among end-users.

“Currently, many video content creators are eagerly exploring the use of 360' and virtual reality stock videos. 360' Immersive videos offer various possibilities in terms of audiovisual content, not just for film and television production, but also for advertising and branding. Furthermore, nowadays, cameras are capable of recording incredibly realistic footage in very high definition. The use of new technologies to capture stock videos is likely to increase their demand during the forecast period,” says a senior analyst at Technavio.
