Frequently Asked Questions


Which factor is driving the Remote Sensing Services market?

The use of remote sensing across the globe is expanding. Ranging from monitoring urban dynamics, such as urban sprawl, traffic patterns, and changes in land use, to providing assistance for the planning of humanitarian crisis & emergency respond—the application areas of remote sensing are widening. For more than 40 years, the Landsat satellites are acquiring images of Earth’s surface. This has turned into the world’s longest constantly-acquired collection of space-based moderate-resolution land remote sensing data. In addition, the National Satellite Land Remote Sensing Data Archive keeps a record of millions of Landsat images about changes in urban land areas across the world. The military forces, agriculture department, forest, and weather forecasting department are among users of remote sensing services. In military, the forces use satellite images and remote sensing in a broad array of applications, including intelligence, cartography, terrain analysis, battlefield management, military installation management, and monitoring of terrorist activity. The use of remote sensing is expected to expand in order to ensure proper functioning of the mentioned applications in the military. Also, with the procurement of unmanned aerial vehicles over manned aerial vehicles, the use of remote sensing would increase as unmanned aerial vehicles can easily reach difficult terrains, where defense forces may not reach. Therefore, military and defense are more inclined toward using unmanned aerial vehicles. In addition, remote sensing also helps aerospace to get plethora of information about missing aircrafts. Numerous satellites orbit the Earth on a regular bases to collect data which can be useful for finding crashed or lost aircraft.

Which end user led the Remote Sensing Services market?

The commercial segment led the market in 2019 with highest share and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. Remote sensing has its application in broad areas, including weather, vegetation, forestry, pollution, land use, or erosion. Companies such as AABSyS provide remote sensing services by generating data to analyze and compare data of the above-mentioned applications. It also offers remote sensing services that are effective for military observation, city planning, archaeological investigations, and more. With constant technological developments, remote sensing is also getting deployed for monitoring an array of remotely detectable properties of vegetation.

What factors are providing opportunities for Remote Sensing Services market?

In the era of technological advancements, an enormous amount of data gets generated. Big data has various unique characteristics, such as multi-source, high-dimensional, multi-scale, and dynamic-state. Enormous data generated through the atmosphere, agriculture, carbon cycle, environment, Earth surface processes, forest, hydrology, land cover, and ocean need appropriate remote sensing techniques to get real-time imagery accurately. Big data's end user must consider concrete and specific characteristics of remote sensing to extract valuable information and understand the geo-processes. As remote sensing is considered a trusted and important source of information for mapping and monitoring human-made areas and natural land, remote sensing penetration is growing exponentially. In addition to growth of big data and increase in data sensing, urban planning is also among the applications of remote sensing. Spatial data gathered through satellite remote sensing and airborne sensors makes vital contributions toward the massive pool of big data sources, which is used as a backbone for urban-related study. Increasing inclination toward big data would help in extracting information for urban planning and mapping.
