The weather forecasting services market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In the past few years, the market size for weather forecasting services has seen substantial growth. It is predicted to expand from $2.26 billion in 2024 to $2.49 billion in 2025, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%.
This growth during the historic period can be traced back to a heightened awareness and readiness, the globalization of businesses, investments in meteorology by governments, the effect of severe weather incidents, and the implementation of accurate agriculture practices.
The weather forecasting services market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the ensuing years, the market for weather forecasting services is set to witness a significant surge in size. Its projected value by 2029 is "$3.56 billion, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%.
The expansion during the forecast period can be credited to factors like climate modeling, a surge in demand for renewable energy, integration with the internet of things (iot), improved emergency management systems, and collaborations between public and private entities. Key trends likely to shape the forecast period include the incorporation of technology in aviation, advancements in meteorological technology, progress in numerical weather prediction, the emergence of hyper-local weather forecasting, and the broadening scope of extreme weather prediction.
The growth of the weather forecasting services market is anticipated to be driven by the increased utilization of weather monitoring intended for disaster management. By utilizing environmental monitoring equipment, weather monitoring services gather and interpret weather-based data, benefiting the decision-making process. Their high accuracy and reliability make them ideal for monitoring climate changes and weather conditions. For example, Access Partnership, a Belgium-based technology public policy consultancy, predicted that the global yearly count of natural disasters will witness a 37% increase, rising from 442 to 541 incidents, by 2025. Hence, the use of weather monitoring in the field of disaster management significantly contributes to the expansion of the weather forecasting services market.
