On the basis of technologies, the market is divided into active remote sensing and passive remote sensing. The passive remote sensing segment accounted for above 55% in 2020, in terms of revenue. Passive remote sensing technology provides high quality satellite images, which increases it preference for earth various observation applications. On the other hand, the active remote sensing segment is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of over 10% during forecast period. The active remote sensing technology overcomes the drawbacks of passive remote sensing, which is resulting in healthy growth rate of the segment.
Based on applications, the market is divided into agriculture & living resources, military & intelligence, disaster management, infrastructure, weather, others. The military and intelligence segment held a significant market share of over 30% in 2020. Conversely, the disaster management segment is anticipated to register a CAGR of around 15% during forecast period. The availability of continuously updated data helps authorities make better decisions related to evacuations and actions to be taken post the disaster. This, in turn, is increasing the deployment of remote sensing technology during the disaster management.
In terms of platforms, the market is divided into satellite and aerial systems. In 2020, the aerial systems segment accounted for more than 60% in terms of revenue. Increasing usage of drones in surveying fields reduces the cost and helps researchers to gather data at a spectacular rate. The surface mapping provides high accuracy data of survey area that cannot be accessed through satellites. However, the satellite segment is projected to lead the remote sensing technology market during forecast period. Satellites provide data in spatial, temporal, and spectral resolutions to cater to various application requirements.
In terms of regions, the market is divided into Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe and Middle East & Africa. In 2020, North America held a market share of 30% in terms of revenue. The early adoption of remote sensing technology in precision farming applications is anticipated to fuel the market growth in the region during the forecast period. The market in Asia Pacific is projected to expand at a CAGR of around 10% during the forecast period.
