drones are becoming big business --and big businesses are hoping to deploy drones. sabrina: and this rapid growth in the industry is quickly turning pioneers into corporate giants. c-n-n's kristie lu stout paid a visit to the company that holds a dominant share of the consumer drone market " --reporter pkg-as follows-- (cartman) whoaaaaaaaaa

from being ogled by cartman on south park. to crashing on the lawn of the white house. if you see a drone, it's probably made by d-j-i. the company behind the distinctive "phantom" is the leader in consumer drones with an estimated 70 percent of the market. but what you might not realize is that this industry pioneer -- is based in china. (paul pan, product manager, dji) "we base our technology and our manufacturing and our r&d here in china because everything is much more accessible, it is quicker to develop products." (kristie lu stout, reporter)"being in china has its advantages. dji can design a part in the morning -- and drive to a nearby factory and have it manufactured that afternoon." and looser regulations than the u-s mean it's simpler for d-j-i to get their drones in the air in china. (paul pan, product manager, dji) it is easier to go out and just test and fly here, whereas if you're in the us you have to get licensing and all that to be able to do things commercially. that is one our advantages. the u-s has begun allowing a limited number of companies to test commercial applications for drones. the u-s is also d-j-i's biggest market -- but according to one analyst, being a chinese company could prove to be a problem. (colin snow, drone analyst) "it kinda blocks them out a little bit from getting

involved in any government projects because nasa for instance is prohibited from doing any work directly with dji. so in the commercial world, where we'll see more and more aircraft being developed, the disadvantage is there for dji." d-j-i has a commanding lead in the consumer drone market - making it one of a new wave of chinese companies that are global giants." all: (reax) all: (reax)
