Reading This As A Comparison
With 2 series on one chart, the shape that matters is how the ranking shifts over time, not just where each line starts or ends.
Do not confuse "biggest" with "fastest-growing" — they are frequently different series on a chart like this one, and the gap between them can close faster than the current ranking suggests.
Treat these values as a directional estimate of the India UAV market. They are most useful for comparing segments and regions against each other, and for spotting where demand is expected to build fastest.
The numbers here come from a market sizing model: historical revenue estimates up to the 2018 base year, then forecasts through 2030 using growth-rate assumptions for each segment. The underlying report explains the methodology in detail.
