According to the report published by Allied Market Research, the global commercial satellite imaging market generated $3.3 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $9.2 billion by 2031, witnessing a CAGR of 11.3% from 2022 to 2031. The report offers a detailed analysis of changing market trends, top segments, key investment pockets, value chain, regional landscape, and competitive scenario.
Advantages such as precise mapping for mission planning, search, and rescue operations and rise in utilization of satellite imagery in government and defense sectors drive the growth of the global commercial satellite imaging market. Moreover, the introduction of new technologies such as electric propulsion technology, high-resolution cameras, advanced remote sensing technology, and others supplements the market. On the other hand, increase in usage of satellite data for development of smart cities and connected vehicles along with rise in implementation in commercial applications present new opportunities in the coming years.
Covid-19 Scenario:
- The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the mission-deployments along with slowing down of new product deliveries due to disruption in the supply chain.
- In addition, the pandemic led to postponement or freeze of investments toward R&D activities and put a rest on adoption of new technologies in the commercial satellite imaging sector for a short period.
- However, the demand for commercial satellite imaging is estimated to grow steadily post-pandemic, owing to rise in application of commercial satellite imagery and analytics in different end-use verticals.
The report offers detailed segmentation of the global commercial satellite imaging market based on application, end user, and region.
Based on application, the geospatial data acquisition and mapping segment accounted for the highest share in 2021, contributing to more than one-fourth of the total market share, and is estimated to continue its lead position during the forecast period.
