Satellite-based Earth Observation Market Size to grow by USD 7604.6 million between 2024-2028
According to a research report “ Satellite-based Earth Observation Market” by Application (Defense, Weather, LBS, Energy, Others) Type (VAS, Data) Geography (North America, APAC, Europe, South America, Middle East and Africa)- Global Forecast to 2028 published by Technavio, the market size is estimated to grow by USD 7604.6 million, at a CAGR of 10.67% during the forecast period. In the realm of environmental monitoring, satellite technology has emerged as an indispensable tool due to its capability to capture macroscopic environmental data, reveal hidden features, and detect short-term and long-term weather phenomena that are not discernible through ground-based observation. Advanced observation satellites offer real-time, continuous information on atmospheric conditions essential for precise weather forecasting, including temperature, wind, and weather patterns. Moreover, these satellites play a pivotal role in monitoring environmental concerns such as greenhouse gas emissions, polar ice changes, deforestation, wildfires, and coral bleaching. The evolution of sensing and imaging technologies over the past decade has given rise to superior environmental observation satellites, enabling higher-resolution images and the measurement of an extensive range of metrics..

By Application, the Defense segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024
The defense sector held a substantial market share in the global satellite-based Earth observation industry in 2023, driven by escalating investments in satellite technology for surveillance, security, and intelligence gathering by emerging nations like China, India, and Russia. In September 2022, Airbus SE secured 15-year contracts with the Czech Republic and Netherlands' defense ministries, providing them with two and three channels, respectively, of the company's ultra-high-frequency (UHF) military communications hosted payload onboard the EUTELSAT 36D telecommunications satellite. This strategic partnership underscores the growing demand for advanced satellite technology within the defense sector.
By Type, VAS segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024
The satellite-based Earth Observation (EO) market witnesses significant demand from government agencies and the defense sector, who utilize value-added services (VAS) for applications such as urban planning, meteorological forecasting, forestry mapping, and environmental monitoring. These entities account for the largest market share, with contracts serving as the primary revenue generator for vendors. Notably, the US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is a major global customer, having signed agreements with numerous providers, thereby fueling market expansion. The emergence of numerous VAS startups has intensified competition, resulting in a decrease in the cost of satellite-based EO VAS.
North America is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024
The United States dominates the global satellite-based Earth Observation (EO) market, accounting for approximately one-third of all satellites in orbit. With a rich history in the EO industry, the US maintains a vast fleet of satellites for various applications, including communications, surveillance and intelligence, national security, weather forecasting, disaster management, environmental monitoring, and navigation. Notably, NASA spearheads most US satellite-based EO missions. However, the past decade has seen an influx of private players entering the market. These newcomers primarily focus on offering satellite imagery-based analytics and Value-Added Services (VAS), while some are even launching their own small satellites for data collection.
