The geospatial imagery analytics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of geospatial imagery analytics has seen substantial growth in the past few years. It anticipates expanding from a volume of $14.73 billion in 2024 to $18.49 billion in 2025, thus plotting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.5%.
Factors that have contributed to this growth during the historic period include the rising demand for location-centric services, managing emergencies and disasters, planning and development of smart cities, monitoring and conserving the environment, and applications in defense and intelligence.
The geospatial imagery analytics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Over the coming years, the geospatial imagery analytics market is anticipated to expand significantly, reaching a value of $49.61 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.0%.
This projected growth during the forecast period is linked to key factors such as climate change observation, infrastructure expansion initiatives, the rise of space tourism and exploration, worldwide connectivity strategies, healthcare and epidemiology research, economic progress and market intelligence, and attempts to counter unlawful activities. During this forecast period, the dominating trends will be the evolution of satellite technologies, cloud-based geospatial analytic platforms, applications in precision farming, urban planning and intelligent cities, and environmental supervision and climate change studies.
The geospatial imagery analytics market is projected to experience growth, propelled by the escalating demand for small satellites. Generally weighing under 100 kg and analogous in size to suitcases, these satellites serve an indispensable role in imagery analytics. They offer a cost-effective means to dissect and analyze minute bits of information worldwide and provide reliable and precise results in small operational units. As per the U.S. Government Accountability Office's report in September 2022, approximately 5,500 active satellites were in orbit as of early 2022. Projections indicate that an additional 58,000 satellites could be launched by 2030. Consequently, this surge in demand for small satellites fuels the expansion of the geospatial imagery analytics market.
