Satellite Earth ObservationThe satellite Earth observation era began many years ago in 1957 with the launch of Sputnik 1, which orbited the Earth after every 96 minutes and transmitted the radio signals received from the earth. Post this, many satellites were launched, including TIROS-1 in 1960, which successfully entered the atmosphere and produced footage of weather through space.
Earth observation satellites are basically equipped with payloads that are used to capture data about the characteristics of Earth. The captured data is then processed and analyzed to extract information that can serve various types of applications and end-users.
Currently, many space agencies and commercial companies across the globe have been focusing on Earth observation missions.
Satellite Earth Observation Industry OverviewThe global satellite Earth observation data and value-added services market is expected to reach $15,903.0 million by 2032, with a CAGR of 6.92% during the forecast period 2022-2032. The Earth observation data and service market has been witnessing a high growth rate owing to significant demand for applications such as disaster management, agriculture, cartography, and natural resources survey.
Market Segmentation
Satellite Earth Observation Market by End UserThe government and defense end-user segment is estimated to dominate the global satellite Earth observation market due to the increasing demand for accurate weather forecasting, Earth imagery, and other activities.
Satellite Earth Observation Market by ApplicationThe sustainable development and environment management application is expected to be the front runner in the global satellite earth observation market due to the ability of data and services to cater information regarding wildlife trends, land use patterns, tracking biodiversity, and managing natural resources among others; and help in attaining social, environmental, and economic sustainability.
Satellite Earth Observation Market by ServicesValue-Added Services (VAS) is the most prominent service contributing toward the growth of the global satellite earth observation market.
