Executive Summary

The market's rapid growth for advanced agriculture, defense, and infrastructure monitoring technologies should continue during the forecast period. Integrating IoT technologies and remote sensors, computer imaging is expected to create huge growth opportunities for the global remote sensing technologies market. Military intelligence and security are potential applications because remote sensing can be used to conduct surveillance on enemy activity and movements. This information can identify potential threats, track enemy movement, and learn about enemy arms and ammunition. For instance, BlackSky has been monitoring Russia’s buildup along Ukraine’s border. Throughout the war, the company has provided data and images to customers, the media, and the public.

Countries with space-faring capabilities have dominated remote sensing technologies, led by the U.S. and Europe. Remote sensing technology is expected to continue toward higher lens resolution and more detailed imagery.

North America is the largest market for remote sensing technologies, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific. The increasing activity for Earth observation and monitoring is pushing growth in the North American market. For instance, In June 2020, NASA, JAXA, and ESA collaborated to develop an Earth observation dashboard that tracks COVID-19-related human lifestyle and environmental changes. The dashboard integrates satellite records for user-friendly tracking of economic activity, agriculture, and climate monitoring. Further, smart city projects are gaining popularity for their ability to assist authorities with security and urban planning, infrastructure modeling, and zoning. Increasing investment by countries in infrastructure development is expected to drive growth in smart cities. In turn, that should boost growth in the global market for remote sensing technologies.
