Thailand Accelerates Development as ASEAN Commercial Drone Hub

BangkokMay 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DronTech Asia 2026, the leading commercial drone and unmanned systems exhibition in ASEAN, will be held from November 11 to 13, 2026 at IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center in Bangkok, Thailand. Organized by GML Exhibition (Thailand) Co., Ltd., the event is expected to attract over 150 international drone and related technology companies, as well as more than 5,000 professional buyers, channel partners, system integrators, and industry decision-makers from ASEAN and the Asia-Pacific region.

According to Grand View Research data, the global commercial drone market is expected to continue growing rapidly through 2030. Driven by smart agriculture, infrastructure development, the digital economy, and the low-altitude economy, Southeast Asia is emerging as one of the most promising commercial drone markets in the Asia-Pacific region.

Currently, demand in the Southeast Asian market is steadily increasing for drone solutions in agricultural protection, surveying and remote sensing, power line inspection, logistics and transportation, energy, telecommunications, smart cities, and industrial-grade applications. Thailand, as one of the core economies in ASEAN, is actively promoting the drone industry ecosystem, smart airspace development, and the low-altitude economy, while accelerating efforts to attract international drone companies into the regional market.

DronTech Asia 2026 will showcase the latest technologies and application achievements in areas such as precision agriculture, AI-powered intelligent drone systems, industrial inspection, surveying and remote sensing, logistics and transportation, and future air mobility. The organizers stated that the exhibition will focus on helping exhibitors connect with ASEAN buyers, regional distributors, agricultural enterprises, infrastructure operators, and local partners, assisting companies in expanding their market channels and regional business networks in Southeast Asia.

On May 19, 2026, the official press conference for DronTech Asia 2026 was held in Bangkok. Representatives from government agencies, industry associations, and technology organizations gathered to discuss Thailand’s development opportunities in the regional commercial drone industry and smart aviation ecosystem.

Institutions attending the press conference included the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT), the Digital Economy Promotion Agency (DEPA), the Ministry of Agriculture of Thailand, the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA), and the World UAV Federation, reflecting the high priority placed by the Thai government and industry on the development of the commercial drone sector.

At the press conference, the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand introduced regulatory reforms for drones and plans for smart airspace development. Currently, the number of registered drone operators in Thailand exceeds 60,000. Relevant government departments also highlighted national projects such as drone pilot training, AI technology integration, and agricultural drone promotion to further advance the commercial application of drones.

Several international drone and core component companies have already confirmed their participation, including Hobbywing from China, Grepow, as well as well-known industry brands such as T-MOTOR, NAcDrone Enterprise Co., Ltd., Systonics Co., Ltd., DJI Enterprise by SIS, Tattu Battery, and Thai Sky Vision, further highlighting the international influence of DronTech Asia 2026 within the Southeast Asian drone supply chain.

For Chinese drone manufacturers, core component suppliers, and technology providers, DronTech Asia 2026 will serve as a vital platform for entering the ASEAN market. Exhibiting companies can quickly connect with regional channel resources through the event, expand overseas cooperation opportunities, and strategically position themselves in the Southeast Asian low-altitude economy market.

During the exhibition, international forums, technical seminars, drone flight demonstrations, business matching sessions, and industry networking activities will be held, focusing on hot topics such as smart agriculture, AI drone systems, geospatial technology, industrial inspection, logistics and transportation, and the low-altitude economy.
