Dubai, UAE; 22 January 2025
Jumbo Electronics Ltd., a leading retailer of consumer electronics and technology products in the UAE, has announced a surge in drone sales, reporting a 30% increase across its stores in the United Arab Emirates, over the past six months, reflecting growing interest in drone usage among tech enthusiasts.
Popular drone models such as the DJI Air 3S, DJI Flip, DJI Mini 4 Pro, DJI Neo, and DJI Mavic 3 Pro have dominated Jumbo Electronics’ shelves, providing customers with exceptional opportunities for adventure and creativity. While the sales forecast for these models looks promising, Jumbo has also noticed the growing popularity of small, compact drones weighing less than 250 grams, as they are easy to carry and not restricted in many countries.
Commented on this trend, Mr. Vikas Chadha, CEO of Jumbo Electronics Ltd., said: “Jumbo is celebrating 50 years of trust and tradition at the forefront of innovation. Our role as a trusted retailer is to bridge global technological advancements with the growing appetite of UAE consumers –– an exciting symbiosis further validated by the remarkable uptick in drone sales. By offering cutting-edge aerial solutions, we enable customers to capture vistas, document memories, and explore limitless creativity with unmatched trust and customer service.”
The UAE has recently logged an increase in registered drones, with about 23,960 currently listed on the UAE Drones Unified Platform. This step marks a key initiative under the UAE’s “We the UAE 2031” vision for fostering technology-driven lifestyle enhancements.
