Weather Forecasting Systems Market Size and Share Outlook - Forecast Trends and Growth Analysis Report (2025-2034)

The global weather forecasting systems market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.60% between 2025 and 2034, reaching a projected value of USD 5.06 Billion by 2034.

Key Trends in the Market

Weather forecasting utilises observational data, tools, technology, and science to forecast the weather for months, days, and hours for a certain location. Before the development of computer models, weather forecasting was done by observation with high levels of inaccuracies. Weather forecasting systems employ software and hardware solutions to build on atmospheric research as well as operational weather forecasting to accurately predict weather.

• An upsurge in the demand and usage of big data analytics in weather forecasting is expected to drive the weather forecasting systems market growth across the globe. This is because weather forecasting requires analysis of huge sets of data at a fast rate.
• Due to climate change weather patterns are changing. There is a growing requirement for reliable information regarding the weather, particularly for agriculture sectors and travellers. These aspects are aiding the market growth of weather forecasting systems.
• Rising air and sea transportation, for passengers and cargo, and the increase in monitoring of changing weather patterns to discern impacts of environmental pollution are further boosting the market growth during the forecast period.
