Chinese drone maker DJI is dominating the market - despite being blacklisted by the U.S.

- Drones of several varieties have been used on the battlefield during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, including makes from DJI.
The global drone market is expected to grow from $30.6 billion in 2022 to $55.8 billion by 2030, according to a report by Drone Industry Insights. DJI dominates more than 70% of that market.
DJI’s first commercially successful product was the Phantom drone, which DJI founder Frank Wang claims made DJI the first company to bring “military-grade technology” to the public.
“The unfortunate thing is that (DJI drones are) very reliable. So, it’s become a product of choice, even for those who want to use a drone inappropriately,” Adam Welsh, DJI’s Head of Global Policy, told CNBC.
A recent controversy around DJI products being used for warfare isn’t the only problem the company has faced.
In December 2021, the Shenzhen-based drone maker was placed on an investment blacklist by the U.S. government, banning American investors from buying or selling shares in the company.
That move is largely symbolic, however, since DJI is a private company.
Watch the video above to understand why the Chinese drone maker is dominating the market - despite being blacklisted by the U.S.

Putting any kind of blame on DJI for people misusing their products is like blaming a car company for somebody choosing to drink and drive
Russians hate these drones hehehe.
Or blaming guns for murders that people commit
@@hundredfireify To accurately and reliable fire bullets. The target is chosen by the shooter. The shooter should be solely liable.
Looking at you, Toyota
Silly Americans. Finding any excuse to support China and their products like drones.
If a Chinese company is leading or dominating, it becomes a security risk. If Google/Microsoft/FB is dominating, it is ok. What a shady act of double standard!
i still buy dji but i dont blame the ban
😂😂😂what a shame....AMURDERCA😂😂😂
just take a look at wechat censorship. what do you expect?
So, you prefer to live on under chinese rule rather than US. Ok, whatever suits you. There are NO private companies in china.
America can't catch up 😬😏
The story should have read like this - DJI is dominating the market, that's why it is blacklisted.
Basically just like the Huawei treatment but there's no alternative American company to replace it like Apple for Huawei so they can't do much about it.
Now they are trying to ban China's gantry crane which also on the name of National security but USA don't have gantry cranes other than China to operate Their ports and Ships
America really hates to see a Chinese Tech company lead in a certain space, just like TikTok.
Tiktok sucks though
China has never banned any US Tech companies in the country...
@@BillEmojiNo, just the whole internet. They have literally banned Chinese people from using the global internet.
Tiktok is awful being chinese or not.
@@iruah haters gonna hate.
its like banning toyota because their truck using for war
yeah it completly stupid lol, and beside DJI are being using by both ukraine and russia.
@@user-gc1hg9sp9k classic cnbc lol
is like banning food and water and air because tanks are burning oxygen and trucks are using water to cool their engines and soldiers are eating food to have energy to fight
I don’t believe they were banned due to the war in Ukraine, but banned Previously due to A national security threat in sharing data obtained by the drones with the Chinese government,
this comment section is on 🔥🔥🔥
If you cannot beat them, sanction them.
Exactly! How is it that DJI is a millitary company in anyway or form? This is just a dodgy excuse to contain China high tech just like what it did to Huawei. Regardless if you like China or not, what they did to DJI is frankly pretty low and dirty.
And take the Money......
If you cannot make a product to sell in war, blacklist it…

Dangerous and Illegal activities which is athreat to privacy does not deserve bed of roses 😂
Ironically, DJI drones were used for earthquake relief in Turkey.😂
@@Fauxsho9 did you just comparing military grade equipment with commercial?.. what😅
@@Fauxsho9 bayrakhtar is expensive to operate.. so it is logical to use dji , dji agras or dji m30t matrice.. they are cheaper and not expensive to opwrate.. both are for different purposes

@@user-iv8ky5qi4n No India is not capable Like China even America can't surpass that's level of China's drone so the question of Having India its own is ❎ and also they are not accepting the truth because of bilndless ego reside in their mind. So I am saying this because I am seeing this from my own eyes in Indian's people's.
first Huawei, then Tiktok, now DJi.....
It's surprising that these bans are only being implemented now. Businesses operating in foreign countries must comply with local laws or face consequences. For example, China has restricted Western electric cars in certain areas under new legislation. Similarly, Chinese cars and other hardware that fail to adhere to Western data protection laws should face restrictions in the West. Any objections in this comment section are likely from bots, and frankly, are irrelevant. Each country has the right to enforce its own rules.
More and more are coming, in a faster speed in the following decade, the largest engineer generation in China are mostly born in 1990s, that's why China's tech are speeding up so fast in the past 5 years, my peers are becoming PhDs and masters, contributing in the tech industry.
Lets just not forget that in China: Google, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram and many more are banned. So what is the problem with answering China the same way?
Plus Western EVs are already heavily restricted in China due to data protection laws... Western should restrict Chinese EVs in the same way.
@@must205 The point is china doesn't pretend to be a free and open society/market - unlike the USA whose peasants still believe they live in "freedom". The more foreign companies USA bans, the more foreign companies will avoid the USA market.
@@must205 Not the same, Google didn't agree to keep data in China while TikTok does keep data in US. It was Google's choice to leave China
Targeting DJI is ludicrous. This company consciously stay away from military business, and yet people still use them in wars by modifying them like they did in Ukraine by both Ukrainians and Russians, and the US gov still blame DJI for that?
bc US is losing their drone market, it's all about money
Exactly and America uses them as well, so they need to stop targeting one out of many companies. For all we know the U.S. defense has their own private contractor making clones of this device with way better capabilities.
probably Toyota should be banned because their truck famously weaponized.
@@samkalapseudo8998 US never had their drone market
@@haihenghYou must be replying to the other person above my reply I never said that they stayed away from the military. Anyways I do agree with you. And yes when ever there is an innovative idea or product or method of doing something Military heads will always have an eye out for it if it has a potential to be utilized in a combat scenario. If it can be utilized for military purposes I'm sure you will be approached by military/government agents. And where there is money to be made,your product will be bought and modified for their purpose whether you like it or not.
They are simply the best drones out there. I own 4 of them.
Ask yoyr govt
i owned one a donated it to ukraine
what is your social credit score?
@@theendurance is that all you got ? 😂
@@theendurance what is ur credit score .
How do you judge that those high-tech products in China are more advanced than those in the United States? It depends on which products are banned by the US government.
it is the most advanced commercial drone .. certainly not military
The American playbook: A successful Chinese products = Security threat
National Security
Any Chinese company that can dominate the market etc, the US will never let it go. They will throw all kinds of accusations on the company or it products in order to ban or restrict it.
Exactly, the same as other countries. If Airbus surpass Boeing dominating the market, the manager of Airbus will be arrested by the U.S soon.
as if the chinese don't have all kinds of restrictions on foreign imports in their own country...
But it's too late china is unstoppable in so many ways
That's why it's not healthy to let the US, and UK's English media dominate the whole world. They can demonize anyone they like.
As if China didnt ban US companies in Chinese mainland too
Do we have to blame gun manufacturers that their guns end up in the wrong hands?
Only if they're Chinese or Russian
Everyone does. That's why I don't feel confident about the future of drones being legal
Guns are made to kill people
@@trowawayacc Guns are used for pest control far more than they are used for that purpose. They are also used for recreation (shooting targets, hunting, etc). They are also used as a deterrent to protect against evil people. Killing people is the last resort for using a gun.
No only if the manufacturers are Americans. If it’s Russians or Chinese then please blame them every single day.
I've owned some DJI drones since like 2016, still going strong. Don't think you should blame the product. If there was a company in US or west that had as much dedication as DJI, they'd get noticed, well sadly, there is none....
已经有了
as someone who uses both the Phantom 4 and the AVATA; DJI is like the apple of Drone operations. Easy to use, User friendly and a status symble at this point. Its no wonder these are being use in war. Yes they might not be made for weapon use, but so is a knife; doesn't mean they wont be used for war.
Right, people aren't up in arms because people are using apple computers to launch rockets. BUT here we are.
This is called technological superiority
So this is something they won't have to steal?
This is called mass production.
@@ghostmanscores1666 not at all. There were many companies 10 years ago but most went out of business.
Shhhhh😂 who didn’t see this coming..!
Lies again? 99G Devil
DJI all the way no matter what the US government says.
The US is now drained of blood.. And they continue to spend money on Ukraine. The United States does not spend money on its people and spends taxes on the war of Ukraine. The people of the USA are giving their money not to improve their lives, but to the war of Ukraine! That's why the people are poor!.Б
Yeah their products and post sale service is just head and shoulders above everyone else its embarrassing
DJI is an amazing company, Their drones are so much better than any other drone sold at their price point.
Love how america crys about freedom all the time but when a product from another country dominates they blacklist it
Republicans
The US politicians always distort the meaning of every English word. They love double talk. Do as I say but don't do what I do.
Yup. Then pretend as if they care about marginalized people when they themselves start fires all over the world, treat many of their own people like crap etc etc. can't beat them sabotage them is more like it
Only reason I have a DJI because there is no other western product that can compete.
The United States is going to ban DJI.
@@garysetiadi366 Camera system can't compare. Skydio is only better at tracking, that's it, other than that they are mediocre at best when compared to DJI drones.

@@vlhc4642 so on one hand nato buys them ,on the other hand blacklists them ,here ladies and gentlemans , here is the so called democracy that the americans wanna give to the world . with their lies and cheats
at this point it feels like literally anything Chinese is being singled out by the US government
It is which is also something to keep in mind when they bring out these Uyghur, Tibet etc. stories. Its literally all lies, the next Iraq WMD, Nayirah story. All negative stories about China are outright lies or twisted beyond recognition so much it doesn't mirror reality anymore.
Why not?
It is ironic that DJI drones are used by Ukraine soldiers and US government gives weapons to Ukraine soldiers while blacklist DJI drones.
@@superspecialty5169 because it's Marxist, and going down that path is extremely dangerous..
Ban chicken chop suey
Used to own a DJI Mavic Pro, sold it several years back cause I needed some emergency $ at the time. They are by far one of the best drones out there, hate how bad people are tainting the community whereas most follow the law. I even had to get my drone registered with the FAA. (was like 14"x10" LxW Inches)
I like but they are expensive as heck, jeeze.
Similar here in the Scotland, UK. Registered my little DJI Mini 3 Pro registered with the CAA and got the (unneeded really) pilot licence for it. It's tricky to stick completely to the letter of the law but keep safety in mind and you won't go far wrong I think. I never carry bombs on mine, only occasionally extra strobes that push 10g above the law, lol!
DJI are one of the best drones. Owned 5. Enjoyed using it. Too bad its being blacklisted.
The more they ban it the more I am buying it
Ban from Europe?

Haters will always say Chinese make low quality products. This is because they have a victim mentality as they try to cheat the oldest practice of sales: you get what you pay for. Any culture and their manufacturer is guilty of this. However, if you're willing to pay for a high quality product, you get a high quality product. I love high quality Chinese products. My favorite drone is the now discontinued DJI Spark. That little sucker is built like a tank and it has allowed me numerous memorable experiences in filming and photography. My slight criticism is that the battery runs for about 15 minutes only. But then again, it's a very old model. I still love it!
If a future battery can go 30 minutes or more like their newer models, the Spark will be an even greater cult classic. It already is!
Exactly. It is just a negative mindset mentality i.e.hating on others who have become more successful than you, rather than being inspired!
Dji Is part of the New China Way. Look into it. A group of business owners who practice proper business ethic and r&d

Next up, 3D printers. I own a Bambu Lab P1S printer. After all the struggles of 3D printing with bed slingers I went through over the years, this thing just prints without any need to level the bed or anything. It does it all by itself and without any limit switches. It detects the torque applied to the motors to the judge where the printer head and bed are located. And it prints fast high quality parts. Apparently some of the designers of these printers are past employees of DJI. The best printer I've ever owned.

DJI is just superior to other drone manufacturers. It gives you the best bang for your buck, in terms of cost, reliability, ease of use, software, hardware, and technology. In the FPV space, DJI has moved the needle and pushed the adoption of digital. They are definitely the "Apple" of drones.
Best bang for your buck is to build your own. However if you do not have those skills such as soldering and simple programming... you are almost stuck with DJI. Theres a few other options but they are daunting to a newb, so DJI gets all this "they are the best" claims from people who dont know any better.

I own 2 dji drones and I can say that they are clearly the best most user friendly and reliable machines money can buy at such price. Don't even think about interfering with the free market, or things will start looking a lot like Marxism. It's quite ironic sanctioning them because you can't compete. If there is something better out there, we might consider it.
yeah especially non chinese drone will cost 10 times more
They only been blacklisted for use by US authorities ( all Chinese companies are controlled by state and have military personnel working inside) private customers can still buy dji drones
@@mrcrally263 Of course in the US the corporations control the state which is much more "democratic".
@@mrcrally263 just like Hollywood is by the us military. Just hypocrisy
@@mrcrally263 not true!
America when China does something better than them again: 🤬😡🤬🤬
that’s just a really dumb statement, Everything the Chinese has, is due to the theft of American technology.
Ukrainians are using DJI drones in fight right now. US Military Complex can't handle it.
Every single time!😞👍
America is a 3rd world country with money borrowed money that is
Don’t hate the player, hate the game. DJI is the best
The US blacklisting them is ridiculous. Who the hell are you to think you got a monopoly on innovation?
So when Us decides to blacklist a company , the world has to stop using it and the company should stop prosper?! Nonsense.
It’s called hegemony
No surprising, the US wants to keep their lead and suppress anyone who tries to surpass them
Only if China kneels down,but China doesn't
They are salty because they simply can't compete. Everybody must stop their development at the behest of the US! It's madness.
Why? Because US doesn't have any company similar to it. Same with why android market ironically is dominated by China & Korea
Skydio?
Wingtra?
AgEagle?
Well china makes them so cheap so consumers purchase them and it gives china a spy platform. DJI codes backdoor access into their products so info can be sent back to the CCP
@@AstroNootFPV Never heard of them. lol
why there is no concern about boeing making military jet plane?
Because they are American
why the US invasion the iraq no media talk about
It is ridiculous just like our smart phones! Most of dji users in the United States are for only recreational or commercial uses like real estate or search and rescue
Every year DJI company hosts a competition for robots/drones to scout the best students to join them..
@R LJ yup, and only applicable to non -US kids since US kids are buzy identifying and changing their gender
@@rl595 not really. free the winner does get prize money and its your decision to join or not join the contest. Besides if you become an employee you do know that whatever design or ideas you make while being an employee is the copyright of the company anyway.. as a contestant ..you are doing it for the prize money and the chance to join the company ..else you would just take your excellent idea and start your own company.
@R LJ DJI is a very decent company. Not some US rogue military industry complex
@R LJ that’s how USA get their ideas from Chinese students for decades then?
I saw that movie. I bet politicians saw that too and were scared xx out of them.
I thought DJI was an American company. Their product always looked quality.
I don't have a DJI product yet. From this advertisement video, their products are cool, rigid and user friendly. I am thinking to get one soon.
You know when a brand winning the market when western media saying about "privacy or data breach" issue from the brand itself.
US isn't the only market for drone 🤣🤣🤣
True. Many in the US seem to believe they are the civilised word and the only ones on the Internet...
DJI are dominating the market largely because their products are super reliable, easy to obtain, and they are well supported engineering wise. The fact that humans are using them for purposes they were not designed for is typical of all man made products which are often used for violent purposes. But blaming DJI for making a superb product equally useful for war is like blaming the gun manufacturer for murders committed by people who use them criminally. There is no logic in blaming misuse on the product itself....
I own 3 DJI drones and like most owners use them responsibly. I applaud them for their superb products regardless of usage by others.
all drone can be used in military activities not only DJI.
America should primary ban guns and drugs instead of flying camera.
Prohibition doesn't work with drugs. If you want to actually fix the drug problem in America, you decriminalize ALL drugs and spend money on public health programs and finally start treating addiction like a disease. Countries that have done this see absolutely huge drops in hard drug usage. The reason this doesn't happen in the USA is because the "war on drugs" is never supposed to be won.
Also banning guns won't work either. People can 3D print weapons now and they might not work as long as a traditional one, but they will work quite well for awhile. The USA also has an absolutely ridiculous amount of firearms. Banning guns would cause so much turmoil that it is a genuinely terrible idea. We need gun control, not banning of guns. Go look up how many firearms the US has, we have more guns than anywhere in the world.
The USA also needs less tribalism, more mental health awareness and treatment, as well as a mainstream media that does not give mass shooters infamy. These things could drastically improve the amount of gun violence in the United States.
I'm not in the USA but I think that's a super idea my friend!
ive got 3 DJI drones which I use to make videos while im travelling and they are a brilliant bit of kit....way ahead of their rivals in my opinion
DJI MAKES THE BEST DRONE'S TILL DATE.... i am personally using it since many years for photoshoot and videography for my tour projects and yes they are really cool , reliable and easy to use in every aspect .
For GoPro to left the drone game industry to mainly focus on camera action, and think that they will be fine. Now DJI dominated the drone industry and trying to step into camera action game as well, this together was a big failure for GoPro company.
I remember when remote control helicopters were cool when I was a kid.
Its an extraordinary company with an amazing product...
I enjoyed the hosts presentation on this. Very well done and organized. Thank you for this!
From the owning the phantom 4 pro , Air 2S, FPV , and now the Mini 3 Pro. They define the definition of quality. Only reason the U.S would ban DJI. Is because they’ve come to accept that the superiority is there. But as a company they should definitely oversee how and where their products are heading negatively.🙏
That's not at all a company's business. A chemical company cannot run after everyone misusing chemicals. Same with cars, guns, knives, medicines, *_drones_* etc
DJI is not the apple of drones! It is the Android of drones, since it owns more than 70% of drone market. Its drones are practical and cheap and so robust that even they are being used for military purpose.
I own a DJI Air2S and I am telling you, it is impossible to shake off the connection. The footage is so stunning, the gimbal on it is so stable, the software is updated religiously by them and you can hardly find any bugs in their software. Flying the drone is very easy and the remote and drone's built quality is top notch. They have done everything right until now and hence they are sitting at the top as a drone manufacturer.
The sad truth is that DJI is really only getting so much criticism because its such a great company. Yes, it sucks they're based in China. But where are the American companies? The European companies? I don't see GoPro coming out with competing drones and gimbals. Almost all the drone and gimbal companies now are Chinese. DJI just makes the best products.
why does it sucks that it is chinese?
you are right, all competitors are thinking how to ban DJI these days, not how to beat them with better products.
@@yongxinhuche Yep. Its incredibly disappointing that there isn't an American company even willing to try to compete with them.
Give them American citizenship and let them start the same thing with a different name.
@@LordMacGyver13 i think it's only sarcasm
I’m very well invested in DJI. I’m all about supporting domestic manufacturers but DJI products are just solid from consumer level to professional level.
This is like going after car manufacturers because people in wars use cars and trucks. Like did anyone go after Toyota for all the pickup trucks in every war? 😂
Who is US to talk about Xinjiang? Uyghurs are Chinese citizens and Xinjiang is a province of China , Xinjiang province is a mix of Han Uyghur Mongol Kazakh Kyrgyz Tajik cultures.
Because US human rights violations don't exist. That happens when you write the rules for the world. According to them.
DJI contributed excellent products and value for human society. Enjoy your experiences with DJI!
been using DJI mini since 2020.. still functioning well
DJI not allowed to be used in Ukraine.
🇺🇲, 🇩🇪 👈 send tanks.
I owe dji mini 3 pro. And drone is rock solid.
I have the dji mini 3 pro and it works and performes way better than any other drone companies. Idk why everyone hates them.
Because the United States is jealous of it, let it disappear.
Just bought a dji drone, what an amazing drone!
Enjoy safely! I got mine early 2023 and I'm still getting used to it but thoroughly enjoying it. Managed a few minutes during a group hike in Scotland yesterday. Just about to go to a cafe in town and do a bit of editing it in to footage take using my DJI Osmo Pocket 2 camera (which I'm not so keen on tbh).
"The iPhone of drones". I like that analogy.
CNBC start to targeting DJI as the next huawei.
