Drone-Assisted Roof Hail Damage Scan Market Report 2025

The drone-assisted roof hail damage scan market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.51 billion in 2024 to $1.82 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of drones for safer roof inspections, the rising demand for faster and more accurate hail damage assessments, the growing availability of high-resolution imaging technologies, the expanding use of drone data in insurance claim processing, and the enhanced cost-effectiveness compared to manual inspections.

The drone-assisted roof hail damage scan market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.78 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20%. The growth projected in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing availability of cloud-based analytics platforms, a rising focus on preventive roof maintenance, the growing affordability of drone hardware, expanding government support for commercial drone operations, and the increasing adoption of autonomous flight capabilities. Key trends expected during this period include advancements in sensor accuracy and imaging resolution, innovations in automated damage detection algorithms, integration of drones with insurance claim management systems, development of lightweight and weather-resistant drone designs, and the use of cloud-based platforms for instant data sharing.

The increasing frequency of severe weather events is expected to drive growth in the drone-assisted roof hail damage scan market. Severe weather events, such as hailstorms, can cause significant damage to infrastructure. Climate change is intensifying the frequency and severity of these events. Drone-assisted roof hail damage scans provide precise aerial assessments of roof damage, enabling faster insurance claims, prioritizing repairs, and supporting efficient disaster response planning to minimize property loss and downtime. For example, in January 2025, the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), a US-based government agency, reported that the United States experienced 27 separate weather and climate disasters in 2024, each causing at least $1 billion in damages, compared to 18 events in 2022.

Major companies in the drone-assisted roof hail damage scan market are developing innovative drone inspection services to enhance roof assessment and maintenance. Drone inspections use unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with cameras or sensors to collect visual and analytical data, allowing non-intrusive evaluations without disrupting operations. For instance, in June 2023, Mighty Dog Roofing West Tampa, a US-based roofing and home exterior solutions provider, launched Drone Super Scan inspections. This service offers objective 25-point evaluations of roofs and exteriors, checking for storm damage, ventilation efficiency, drainage, flashing, chimneys, skylights, and other critical components. The company also provides routine oversight through its Watchdog Maintenance program to maintain roof performance and prevent future issues.

In August 2023, TAMKO Building Products LLC, a US-based building materials manufacturer, partnered with EagleView Technologies Inc. to provide drone-assisted roof damage assessments for contractors. This partnership allows contractors to quickly and accurately evaluate roof damage using high-resolution aerial imagery, automated measurements, and detailed reports, streamlining repair estimates, reducing administrative work, and improving safety during roofing projects. EagleView Technologies Inc. is a US-based company specializing in drone-assisted roof hail damage scans.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

Drone-assisted roof hail damage scanning involves the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) equipped with high-resolution cameras and sensors to quickly inspect and assess roofs for hail damage. This approach provides faster, safer, and more accurate detection than manual inspections, while delivering detailed visual and analytical reports for insurance and repair purposes.

The primary solution types for drone-assisted roof hail damage scanning include hardware, software, and services. Hardware consists of the physical components of a drone inspection system, including drones, cameras, and sensors, which capture high-quality aerial data for precise roof hail damage evaluation. These drones are applied across various project types, including residential, commercial, and industrial settings, and are utilized by end-users such as insurance companies, roofing contractors, property owners, government and municipal agencies, and other stakeholders.
