Commercial Satellite Imaging Market to Reach $5,275 Million, Globally, by 2022

PORTLAND, Ore. - Jan. 11, 2017 - PRLog -- Commercial Satellite Imaging Market Report, published by Allied Market Research, forecasts that the global market is expected to garner $5,275 million by 2022, registering a CAGR of 11.5% during the period 2016 - 2022.The defense sector is expected to dominate the global commercial satellite imaging market during the forecast period. North America is expected to be the leading contributor to the global revenue during the forecast period.

Increase in adoption of location-based service (LBS) for various applications including shopping services, emergency services, navigation services, weather information, and traffic information have fostered the adoption of commercial satellite imagery. In addition, rise in adoption of satellite imaging services in various sectors such as transportation, real estate, oil & gas industry, and media & entertainment is expected to drive the market growth. However, higher resolution offered by aerial imagery as compared to satellite imaging along with incapability of satellites to work in bad weather conditions such as fog, cloud cover, and snow restrict the market growth. Innovative developments in technologies and equipment such as GPS satellites, electric propulsion technology, advanced remote sensing technology, and data transmission through cloud-based platform is expected to provide numerous opportunities for the growth and development of the commercial satellite imaging market.
