The global satellite data services market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 24% during the forecast period. The increasing number of smart cities, lifestyle changes, urbanization, technological advancements (with the integration of cloud computing, AI, and machine learning), and rising demand from industry verticals are some of the factors driving the growth of the satellite data services market.
Increased adoption of AI and machine learning in the space landscape has created enormous opportunities for service providers. The AI-based platforms offer insights into previously inaccessible factors such as social, industrial, and economic processes. Machine Learning algorithms are used for processing daily satellite imagery in order to classify and detect objects, locate geographic and topographic features, and monitor minute changes over a span of time.
Further, remote sensing technology has become more widely used for zoning and municipal infrastructure modeling. The use of satellite imagery is also being boosted by growing urban agglomeration and it is also used for monitoring the urbanization of neighboring regions to assist the development and implementation of smart cities.
The data analytics segment is expected to dominate the market
The data analytics segment is dominating the market in 2021 and is further expected to continue the same trend over the forecast period. Rising demand for data analytics services such as image processing, feature extraction, digital models, and classification that are necessary to create GIS maps and evaluate the information contained in satellite images propel market growth. Additionally, image data is witnessing significant growth in the market.
The growing use of satellite imagery by meteorologists to carefully monitor recent climatic changes and implement required remedial actions has fueled market growth. Satellite imagery aids in the detailed assessment of agricultural conditions and yields, crop health, and vegetation quality. Advancements in satellite technology have helped local governments and defense organizations to better comprehend and access the movement of people and equipment, assess the damage caused by natural catastrophes and assaults, and locate disguised bunkers. The combination of big data analytics and image data has helped users make more thoughtful data-driven decisions.
North America is witnessing rapid growth in the satellite data services market owing to huge investments and the presence of many satellite operators
North America is dominating the global satellite data services market due to significant investments in this field and lucrative market growth opportunities in the US. Numerous satellite operators in the US supply satellite images and many businesses provide data analytics which aid in the regional market growth. Europe is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period on account of increasing industry players’ activities.
The European Union has collaborated with other international institutions to introduce several initiatives such as the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP), the UN Convention for Combating Desertification and Land Degradation, and the Soil Framework Directive. These institutions leverage data provided by the Copernicus Hyperspectral Imaging Mission for the Environment (CHIME) mission for customers. The growing advancements in the military and defense sector in countries like Russia and Ukraine are also boosting the market demand of the global market across the European region.
