In the coming months, some of the best drones could stop being sold in the United States. Now DJI is the brand that faces a ban in the neighboring country.
The House of Representatives approves the ban on the sale of DJI drones in the country. Although this new prohibition law has to be voted on in the Senate, it is possible that the Chinese brand will stop selling its drones in that nation.
DJI so far has 70% of the global drone market share, and about 6% of the company’s shares are owned by Chinese state-owned companies.
As has happened with other products designed and developed in China, lawmakers fear that DJI drones allow the Chinese government to monitor the United States or pose a risk to national security.
On the other hand, the House of Representatives does not look favorably on the brand’s business in the United States, since it is consumers who directly help boost the Chinese economy, rather than a totally American drone business.
DJI drones could be left outside the United States
The potential ban falls under the “Countering the Use of PCC Drones Act,” which is part of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2025.
If the new law is also approved in the Senate, there is still a transition period that could last three or more years. This would allow adjustments to be made before it fully takes effect, and could even give DJI the opportunity to sell part of its drone business to a non-Chinese entity.
It should be noted that the drones of DJI already sold in the country will not have problems but the new law will be applied to the models they sell after its approval. Let’s remember that the brand also sells action cameras and other camera-focused products and they could also be banned. We will be attentive to the Senate’s notification.
