Positioning

DJI is the dominant Chinese drone maker (~60-77% global share depending on source, ~$3.5B estimated 2024 revenue) shipping millions of units a year, having launched the FlyCart 100 (a 100kg delivery drone) in December 2025 and folded in its Livox lidar subsidiary. Its setbacks are US Covered List/NDAA pressure and an ongoing DC Circuit case. It is the multi-rotor category leader facing a US market-access fight.

Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.

Positioning

Wing (Alphabet) operates what it claims is the largest US retail drone-delivery network (under-2.5 lb packages, a 6-8 mile radius, ~30-minute windows), expanding with Walmart (+150 stores across four more cities, January 2026) and into Central Florida (July 2026). Its DoorDash partner obtained its own FAA Part 135 certificate in July 2026, making it both a partner and an emerging competitor. Revenue is not broken out of Alphabet (estimated <25m).
