SkySkopes has announced that it’s been named the top drone service provider (DSP) in the U.S., as well as one of the best globally, by Drone Industry Insights (Dii), the leading source for business intelligence in the field of commercial drones.

SkySkopes was ranked according to its size, consistent drone-industry development, global UAS market-share, growth, public awareness and online presence and activity.

“I’m truly delighted by Drone Industry Insights’ stratification of SkySkopes as the top DSP in the U.S.,” says SkySkopes CEO Matt Dunlevy.

“It validates our safety-based approach to the UAS business model and stands as a testament to the incredible professionalism demonstrated by our pilots and staff everyday. I’d have to say this ranking is also born out of the extremely rich UAS ecosystem in North Dakota.”

An assessment of more than 750 global companies known as drone service providers, the Dii report defines drone service providers as “companies which use drones to acquire information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object. Typical outcomes are: aerial images, orthophotos, point clouds, live views, thermal imagery or hyperspectral imagery.”

“North America is the second-largest drone market today and will grow to nearly $12 billion USD in 2025,” says Dii CEO Kay Wackwitz.

“This being said, we congratulate SkySkopes to be the leading drone service provider in the USA, constantly pushing the envelope and therewith the entire market forward.”
