Aerial Imaging Market Growth & Trends
The global aerial imaging market size is expected to reach USD 8.24 billion by 2030 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.3% from 2025 to 2030. Growing demand in emerging application areas including natural resources management, energy, and disaster prevention is expected to drive the market over the next six years. Increased need for geospatial information and imagery data is also expected to fuel demand over the forecast period.
Adoption of location-based services (LBS) for navigation, remote monitoring, navigation, and mobile advertizing is expected to give impetus to the aerial imaging market. Adverse weather conditions and related environmental factors may prevent accurate imaging data collection. Security and privacy concerns among users are also expected to hamper market growth over the next six years.
