According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Tethered Lighting Drone market size was valued at US$ 2014 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 3463 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 9.0% during review period.
In 2024, global production of tethered lighting drones reached approximately 68420 units, with an average selling price of about USD 28,600 per unit.A tethered lighting drone is a specialized unmanned aerial system that receives continuous power and transmits data through a tethered cable connected to a ground power unit, enabling long-duration hovering with high-intensity aerial illumination. Compared with battery-powered drones, tethered lighting drones are free from endurance limitations and offer advantages such as extended continuous operation, high safety, large lighting power output, and strong wind resistance. They are widely used in emergency rescue, nighttime construction, disaster response, large-scale event security, public safety operations, and temporary lighting applications, representing an important integration of aerial platforms and professional lighting systems.
Currently, the tethered lighting drone market remains in a professional and niche stage with steady penetration. Demand is primarily driven by government emergency agencies, fire and rescue departments, military and police units, and large-scale construction operators. Although the overall market size is relatively limited, unit values are high and technical barriers are significant, particularly in system integration, power supply safety design, wind resistance and flight stability, and thermal management of high-power LED lighting. In terms of trends, products are evolving toward higher lighting output, lighter tether systems, improved environmental adaptability, and modular payload designs, while increasing integration with emergency command systems, communication relay functions, and intelligent dispatch platforms. Market perspectives suggest that although tethered lighting drones are unlikely to enter the consumer market, their irreplaceable role as “aerial fixed lighting platforms” will continue to strengthen alongside the modernization of emergency management and urban safety systems.
