Geospatial Imagery Analytics Global Market Report 2024

Geospatial imagery analytics refers to an analytical solution that provides images and videos of the earth. Geospatial imagery analytics uses data collected from satellite images and is used for examining urban planning, climate conditions, and disaster response management. Companies in other sectors use the data to develop contingency plans for future risks. It is used to get information about natural phenomena and human activities occurring on the earth's surface.

The main types of geospatial imagery analytics are video-based analytics and imagery analytics. Imagery analysis, or image analysis, collects meaningful information from images, mainly from digital images utilizing digital image processing techniques. Image analysis tasks are as simple or as sophisticated as identifying a person from their face or reading bar-coded tags. The different technologies include global positioning systems (GPS), geographical information systems (GIS), remote sensing (RS), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and are deployed through the cloud and on-premises. The different organization sizes include large enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and are used in agriculture, mining and manufacturing, defense and security, energy, utility, and natural resources, government, healthcare, insurance, and other applications.

The increase in demand for small satellites is expected to drive the growth of the geospatial imagery analytics market going forward. The small satellites are usually less than 100 kg, or the size of suitcases. These satellites are used in imagery analytics for analyzing small pieces of information across the globe with less cost, and more reliable and accurate results in minute operations. For instance, in February 2022, according to BryceTech's data, an Egypt-based analytics and engineering firm, the small satellite business continued to develop at a strong rate, with the number of small satellites (600 kg) launched increasing 45% year over year. In addition, Starlink, a US-based satellite internet company, and OneWeb, a UK-based communications company, are responsible for nearly all of the 1,743 tiny satellites launched in 2021, accounting for nearly 95 percent of the total upmass. Thus, the upsurge in demand for small satellites drives the geospatial imagery analytics market growth.

The increased 5G network usage is expected to drive the growth of geospatial imagery analytics market. 5G, or fifth-generation wireless technology, is the latest generation of mobile network technology. It represents a significant advancement in telecommunications and wireless connectivity. Geospatial imagery analytics uses 5G network for better real-time decision making, improved resource management, and enhanced insights across various industries. For instance, in September 2023, according to Finances Online, a Poland-based advertising company, in 2021, 5G coverage expanded significantly, with a remarkable 350% growth, encompassing 1,336 cities. Consequently, 30% of the world's countries now enjoy 5G connectivity. It is anticipated that the global count of 5G subscriptions will reach 4.8 billion by the conclusion of 2026. Furthermore, the year 2023 might see up to 65% of smartphones shipped being 5G-enabled. Therefore, the increased 5G network usage is expected to propel the growth of geospatial imagery analytics market going forward.

Technological advancements have emerged as the key trend gaining popularity in the geospatial imagery analytics market. Major companies operating in geospatial imagery analytics are introducing new technological innovations to sustain their position in the market. For instance, in January 2021, Esri, an Indian-based company that manufactures geospatial imaging analytics systems, launched a new technology known as the ArcGIS Platform. Esri’s ArcGIS Platform works on a cloud consumption model. App developers typically utilize this technology to identify how to incorporate location capabilities into their apps, business processes, and products. It helps in providing easy access to geospatial technology.

Major companies operating in the geospatial imaging analytics industry are adopting strategic partnerships approach to provide essential geospatial imaging analytics services to individuals, businesses, and governments. Strategic partnerships refers to a process in which companies leverage each other's strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits and success. For instance, in July 2023, Locana, an Italy-based geospatial systems development and location and mapping technology company, partnered with OpenStreetMap, a US-based non-profit organization to enhance access to high-quality geographic data, reduce the cost of utilizing location intelligence, and enable more organizations to leverage insights derived from location data. Locana's partnership with OpenStreetMap US is significant because it provides further support for the OpenStreetMap project, enables access to high-quality geographic data, encourages innovative applications, promotes collaboration, and reflects a growing trend of corporate participation in the OSM community.

In May 2021, Foursquare, a US-based location technology company, acquired Unfolded for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition would allow Foursquare to provide customers with access to different first-party and third-party data and apply it to the spatial features. Unfolded is a US-based company that offers location-based services and products, from geospatial data visualization to data enrichment and analytics.
