Satellite Remote Sensing Services Market Drivers

Surge in Development of Defense Sector:

The remarkable growth of the defense sector predominantly in the APAC region, in particular, has resulted in increasing UAVs adoption in recent years. In 2019, the government has announced to spend $738 billion in Defense sector by 2020 for various operations including modernization of equipment's. Moreover, Defense spending in various countries is rapidly increasing due to increased threats from other countries. In the year 2018 Mexico had a defense budget of around $ 6,568 million in 2018, a 13.6% increase from 2017, and it is expected to increase in the forecast period. These factors have driven the growth of the market.

Growth in adoption of Unmanned Aerial System:

The adoption of unmanned aerial systems is mainly due to its size and speed along with uses in varying applications. In the latest CORONA VIRUS-19 outbreak these UAVs have proved to be best in use throughout the sanitizing process. In the healthcare and social assistance during the COVID-19 outbreak the drones are used for medicinal deliveries. The UAVs are used for a variety of applications like inspection, mapping, surveillance, aerial videos, and many other applications. These factors are making them more prominent in the commercial, industrial and military sectors where the satellite remote sensing services are finding their application. These factors are fueling the growth of the market are analyzed to drive the Satellite Remote Sensing Services industry outlook in the forecast period 2021-2026.

Satellite Remote Sensing Services Market Challenges

Design related challenges of the unmanned aerial systems resulting in the less adoption of satellite remote sensing services hampering the market growth:

The prominent disadvantages related with the unmanned aerial systems are the limited flying time, limited speed and endurance. Long distance aerial mapping and surveillance are tough tasks by the use of multi rotor UAVs owing to the fact that most of the multi rotor UAVs provide only 20-30 minutes fly time. This is low demand for the products and is set to negatively impact the procurement of satellite remote sensing services market during the forecast period 2021-2026.
