Rising Demand for Remote Sensing Satellites for Disaster Management to Drive Market Growth
By application, the market is classified into disaster management, weather forecasting, oceanography, ecology, and others. The disaster management segment is slated to dominate the market and have the highest CAGR over 2023-2030. High usage of remote sensing satellites in humanitarian operations drives the segmental growth.
Growing Military Investment by Various Nations is Propelling the Market Growth
By end user, the market is divided into civil, military, and government. The military segment is estimated to dominate the market over 2023-2030. The rising investment of various countries in military advancement is propelling the growth of the segment.
Rising Military Satellite Needs to Drive the Above 1,000 Kg Segment Growth
Based on payload, the market is segmented into less than 500 kg, 500 kg to 1,000 kg, and above 1,000 kg. The above 1,000 kg segment is estimated to have the largest market share during the forecast period. The rising need for military satellites by the Navy, army, and air force is driving the segment growth in the market.
Geographically, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America.
COVID-19 Impact:
Supply Chain Disruptions During the Pandemic Hampered Market Growth
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the remote sensing market growth as it caused supply chain disruptions and delays in satellite launches globally. During the pandemic, the space domain witnessed a significant loss due to a drop in the overall budget of government space agencies worldwide. Citing an instance, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) experienced a drop of nearly 26% in budget allocation during FY 2020-2021 compared to the previous financial year. These factors slowed down market growth to some extent.
