According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Aerial Imaging Market is accounted for $2.62 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $7.51 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 16.2% during the forecast period. Aerial imagining also denoted as aerial photography is the method of taking photographs from an aircraft or a flying object such as a drone. Different types of equipment or devices are used for aerial photography including fixed-wing aircraft, multi-rotor unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), helicopters, balloons, parachutes, blimps and dirigibles, rockets, kites, vehicle-mounted poles, and stand-alone telescoping. Aerial photography offers cost-effective and high-precision solutions for volume calculations, planning purposes, route design, or renovation of an existing mapping.



Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising Number of Applications in Different Sectors


It offers a range of ground-based applications. For instance, it is helpful for farmers to monitor crops identify problems such as blight and deploy suitable remedies. Also used by many insurance companies to verify damage assessment and claims after hurricanes, floods and other disasters. Due to increasing usage of it in a number of sectors is the main driver for the market growth. It has been used in disaster risk operation, archeology, cartography, journalism, defense and security, construction and development, tourism, and intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR).

Restraint:

Privacy and National Safety 


Drones or unmanned aerial vehicles are intended to use in commercial applications, it is possible to use the images captured for inappropriate purposes. Using online aerial and satellite photos, potential criminals can perform virtual surveillance of banks, government buildings, parks, or schools. Indeed, national security could be affected as well. If adequate safety steps are not taken, market growth over the forecast period is expected to be impeded by a lack of adequate protection and privacy concerns.

Opportunity:

Rising Inclusion of the Technology in the Construction Industry


Aerial images are gaining significance in the construction industry as it offers solutions to the complexities and layout of large infrastructure projects in a refined manner. They permit construction companies to examine projects in a detailed and better way by taking images from diverse angles. Aerial image solutions offer benefits in terms of time and cost, which in turn saves a huge amount of money spent by construction contractors/ builders on monitoring and surveillance. Aerial image solutions enable architectures, construction firms, and engineers to better assess, plan, and inspect resource utilization for ongoing projects ranging from small-town developments to large-scale buildings and estates. In the coming years, such solutions are anticipated to further enhance logistics inventory in construction projects and provide protection against insurance claims and site thefts, which will boost the growth of the aerial imagery market.

Threat:

Unsupportive Weather Conditions


Adverse weather conditions are one of the major threats for adoption of aerial imaging, as it requires clear visibility and plenty of light. For the same reasons, aerial imaging is not ideal at night and in diminished light. Usually, photographs taken for marketing purposes require perfect weather conditions, such as a clear blue sky, bright sunlight, fluffy white clouds, etc., in order to produce vibrant effects and colors. Thus, these factors are expected to threat the market growth.

Software segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The software consists of systems that convert the collected information into meaningful data, for instance, software for running the cameras, sensors, and software for processing the images as well. The growth of this segment is primarily attributed to the increased spending on the adoption of hardware solutions across several sectors. Additionally, the growing participation by market players in the launch of new and advanced platforms further supplements the growth of this segment during the next five years. For instance, in June 2020, Kespry, one of the world’s leading drone-based aerial intelligence solution providers announced the update of its Summer 2020 Aerial Intelligence platform focusing on the enhancement in the mining, construction, and insurance industries with new tools and integrations.

The Government segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The varied applications of these solutions across the government sectors for numerous applications that include geospatial surveys, homeland security, and urban planning among others are some of the key factors boosting the significant share of this segment during the upcoming years. Also, the increased focus on efficient disaster management is further expected to encourage market growth.

Region with largest share:

The Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market share, due to the rising number of semiconductor companies will be the attributing factor towards the APAC regional growth. In addition, rapid technological development and increasing consumer demands will further influence the regional market share over the coming years. Moreover, rising applications of drone filming in government and agricultural sectors in countries such as China and India.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR, the North American region is projected to hold a healthy market share owing to the early adoption of technology. Furthermore, the wide adoption of UAVs across the different sectors throughout the region is further positively impacting the market growth during the next five years. due to the large-scale applications of aerial imagery in the energy, agriculture, and defence sectors in this province.
