ROBOZ Secures Exclusive Japan Distribution Agreement with Chinese Drone Manufacturer Makerfire

ROBOZ Establishes Exclusive Japan Distribution for Makerfire Drones

ROBOZ has officially announced an exclusive distribution agreement with Shenzhen Makerfire Technology Co., Ltd., a drone manufacturer based in Shenzhen, China. This partnership grants ROBOZ exclusive rights to distribute Makerfire’s drone products within Japan.

ROBOZ will focus on enhancing sales of the “LiteBeeStar” aircraft, designed for indoor drone shows, and the “LiteBeeWing,” an educational programming drone. The company plans to offer comprehensive support, encompassing initial introduction training and ongoing operational assistance. This initiative is projected to generate annual sales of approximately 200 million yen and contribute to the expansion of Japan’s indoor drone show market.

Background: Expanding Drone Show Market and Indoor Demand

The drone light show market is experiencing global growth, with increasing adoption in corporate events, ceremonies, commercial facilities, sports, and tourism. Market research indicates that the global drone light show market is projected to grow from 2.83 billion USD in 2024 to 6.77 billion USD by 2030, representing a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15.61%. Similarly, Japan’s domestic drone business market is on an upward trend, with forecasts of 437.1 billion yen in fiscal year 2024 and 1.0195 trillion yen by fiscal year 2030. Within this trend, indoor drone shows are seeing increased inquiries due to their reliability, as they are not affected by weather, and their ease of planning and operation.

ROBOZ’s Strengths: Proven Indoor Drone Show Operations and On-site Expertise

ROBOZ has established itself as a leading provider of indoor drone shows, conducting over 120 shows annually. The company offers end-to-end services, including venue design, safety management, production, and on-site operation. Through this exclusive distribution agreement, ROBOZ will not only continue to offer show contracting but also support internalizing operations (training, operational design, maintenance) for clients. This is intended to significantly broaden options for event organizers, facility managers, production companies, and educational institutions.
