The outlook for Japan's drone market is promising and a recently enacted law to regulate flights of unmanned aerial vehicles will result in a safer user environment, according to the Japan chief of China-based drone-maker DJI.

Allen Wu, who heads the Japan office of the world's largest commercial drone-maker, said that as more people are expected to fly drones, it was critical that they learn to properly handle the devices and understand the risks.

"It's dangerous to fly drones over areas crowded with people in the first place," he said.
