THE GLOBAL PICTURE OF THE LOW-ALTITUDE ECONOMY

The Low-Altitude Economy (LAE) is becoming one of the world's most prominent technology and infrastructure trends with rapid development in recent years.

1
China
China officially launched its Low-Altitude Economy (LAE) in 2023, starting with an initial valuation of approximately $69.8 billion. Projections indicate that by the end of 2025, this market is expected to surge to roughly $550 billion. The LAE ecosystem in China has witnessed robust growth, characterized by distinct groups of prominent enterprises: Logistics and Flight Operations: Companies such as SF Express, JD.com, and Meituan are focusing on utilizing UAVs for the transportation of cargo, medical supplies, and food delivery. Digital Infrastructure & Airspace Management Systems: Major players like U-Cloud, Huawei Cloud, and Baidu Apollo are spearheading the development of data platforms, AI integration, and intelligent flight governance.
