PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - Drones and UAVs have disrupted a wide array of uses across various sectors, including agriculture, surveying, military operations, public safety and commercial applications. Drones and their operations allow for tasks such as aerial photography and mapping, infrastructure inspection, wildlife conservation, and delivering medical supplies to inaccessible areas. An article by industry watcher, Fact.MR illustrated a good example saying that: “The drone surveying market is expected to continue to gain momentum due to increasing demand for aerial intelligence and high-precision mapping across major sectors such as agriculture, mining, construction, and environmental monitoring. Fact.MR analysis indicates that the industry will be valued at USD 1.97 billion in 2025 and will grow to USD 11.49 billion by 2035, at a strong CAGR of 19.3% during the period.” It continued: “Technological improvements in LiDAR, thermal imaging, and real-time stream of data over the past three years have dramatically improved safety and efficiency in drone surveying. Drones are increasingly being employed by governments and institutions for commercial use as they are safe, accurate, and cost-effective. Fact.MR believes that support from the authorities, especially in Europe and North America, is fueling commercial usage with better codes in the law.” Active Companies in the drone industries include ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA), Mobilicom Limited (NASDAQ: MOB), Mercury Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY), AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV), Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE: JOBY).

A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after an unexpectedly sharp rise in wholesale inflation fueled concerns about rising costs and their impact on corporate profits. The primary catalyst was the July 2025 Producer Price Index (PPI), a measure of inflation at the wholesale level, which jumped 0.9% against forecasts of a 0.2% rise. This represents the most significant monthly increase in over three years, pointing to mounting cost pressures for manufacturers, with tariffs cited as a key factor. This data complicates the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest rate decisions, as persistent inflation may prevent rate cuts, creating a headwind for cyclical sectors like Industrials.
