Meituan's drones completed 740,000 commercial orders.

On December 19th, Meituan's unmanned drones released multiple products, operating 65 routes in multiple cities, completing 740,000 commercial orders. The competition in the instant retail sector is fierce, with giants such as Shansong, Taobao, JD, and SF all entering the low-altitude delivery market. Policies support the development of low-altitude economy, and it is estimated that the market size will reach 1.5 trillion yuan by 2025. Experts believe that drone delivery is a supplementary method, with stability and cost being key factors at present. However, the market prospects are promising once the technology matures in the future.
