As seen Mavic air 2 has been introduced in the market by DJI recently and is still in the
growth stage. The acceptance of the product is highly influenced by external influences such as
culture, subculture, demographics and group influences. The impact of the external influences

Culture and subculture
Culture and subculture refer to the values, traditions and basic attitudes of the entire society in
which the individuals exist. As commented by Zhao et al. (2014), the culture highlights the
habits and attitudes individuals develop due to their surrounding environment and upbringing.
According to the current scenario, the next generation is more attracted by brands. Branded
products tend to fascinate the individuals more regardless of the features and properties. This is
because the individuals in the next generation believe in showing their possession. Owning
branded products provides an opportunity for the individuals to display their standard in the
society. Thus, more than purchasing product, people aim towards purchasing brands. Thus, the
values upheld by the society are consistent with the consumption of the product.
The US is highly influenced by western culture henceforth; the customers prefer to buy
the products of DJI due to its established brand name. As mentioned above, the purchase of
drones in the US has increased over the years. This suggests the impact possessing materials that
are branded rather than possessing private brands (Cohen, Prayag and Moital 2014). This allows
the people in the US to purchase electronic equipment such as drones in order to increase their
materialistic gains and highlight ownership status. This highlights the impact of culture in the US

status and high living standard. In addition to, both male and female customers purchase drones.
However, the rate of male buyers is more compared to females in the US because of their

can be said that there is a reference group influence on purchasing Marvic air 2. The reference
group element for this product category is the eminent photographers, celebrities as well as the
current or the near-equals. (Rani 2014).
