Happy Friday folks!
Fridays will be reserved for a single company profile in the future, but our process for compiling the data and presenting it in a simple, easy-to-understand manner is still a work in progress.
I'm excited to share more! When the time is right.
Until then - I want to leave you with a great stat for your Friday night.
In 1909, America's registered automobiles grew 57.4%. The year after Ford introduced the Model T.
Over the past 12 months, America's fleet of large drones on the FAA registry grew 57.4%.
Same growth rate. 117 years apart.
The chart below shows registered automobiles from 1900 to 1950: a flat, slow start, then liftoff.
1909 was the early days of the automobile. ~1% of US households owned a vehicle. Something like 3 cars per 1,000 people.
But what happened next?
In 1910, registered automobiles grew another 50%.
By 1914, the fleet increased 5.4X. By 1919, 21.8X.
That’s a mega trend.
And we haven’t even touched on its ripple effects.
We’re on the cusp of something.
The growth is in the data.
And that’s why we keep the record.
Questions? How can I help? Message me.
Godspeed.
