The anticipated growth in the weather forecasting services market is expected to be propelled by the increased use of weather monitoring for disaster management. Weather monitoring services utilize environmental monitoring equipment to gather and analyze weather data, providing accurate and reliable information for decision-making in disaster management and climate change monitoring. For instance, in October 2022, ReliefWeb, a UK-based humanitarian information portal, reported that the frequency of natural disasters worldwide in 2021 was 13% higher than the average of the previous 30 years (1991-2020). Additionally, Access Partnership, a Belgium-based public policy consultancy, projected in March 2022 that the global annual number of natural disasters is anticipated to increase by 37% (from 442 to 541 incidents) by 2025. Consequently, the use of weather monitoring for disaster management is a key driver of the growth in the weather forecasting services market.

The growth of the weather forecasting services market is also expected to be driven by government initiatives for weather forecasting. Government initiatives involve actions or programs implemented by a government to address specific issues, achieve goals, or enact policies aimed at enhancing society, the economy, public services, or overall citizen well-being. Governments collaborate with meteorological agencies, scientific institutions, and international organizations to share data, research findings, and expertise. This collaboration fosters innovation and allows for the integration of diverse datasets, leading to more reliable forecasts. For example, the NAOO Weather Forecast Office, a US-based government agency, disclosed that the US government is reviewing proposals for two grant competitions with FY24 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), totaling up to $2 million per year for three to six new projects. Therefore, the increasing initiatives by governments for weather forecasting contribute to the growth of the weather forecasting services market.

Technological advancement stands out as a significant trend in the weather forecasting services market, with companies within the industry embracing technologies such as artificial intelligence to maintain their competitive positions. In October 2022, Jua.ai AG, a Switzerland-based artificial intelligence climate company specializing in insights and research for weather forecasting, introduced an AI-powered platform offering customized weather models for the meteorological industry. This predictive model covers various weather parameters, including precipitation, wind speed, air pressure, and wind direction, with updates every fifteen minutes. Notably, it provides up to 25 times higher spatial resolution and ten times higher temporal resolution compared to conventional alternatives, leading to substantial improvements in forecasting extreme events.

Major companies in the weather forecasting services market are increasingly engaging in partnerships to drive revenue growth. Partnerships facilitate the sharing of resources, expertise, and knowledge between companies and meteorological organizations. In May 2023, AccuWeather, a US-based weather forecasting company, partnered with The Trade Desk, a US-based advertising technology company, to enhance digital advertising precision and relevance. This collaboration enables marketers and media buyers to directly leverage AccuWeather's data suite within The Trade Desk platform, enabling more targeted and timely communication with customers based on real-time, hyper-localized weather data and forecasts.

In April 2024, Climavision, a US-based data infrastructure and analytics company, acquired Intersphere for an undisclosed amount.
