This region-based market research report analyzes the market shares for leading vendors like Airbus Group, DMC International Imaging (DMCii), ImageSat, and MDA, and also segments the market by type (EO data and VAS) and application (agriculture, defense, disaster management, energy, insurance, LBS, living resources, mining and oil and gas, telecommunications and utilities, transport and logistics, weather forecast, and others).
Outlook of the satellite-based earth observation (EO) market in APAC
The market for satellite-based earth observation (EO) in APAC will exhibit a promising growth rate during the forecast period and will post a CAGR of almost 17% by 2020. Recent technological advances in satellite imagery is a critical factor propelling this market’s growth potential during the next four years. Images provided by satellites offer valuable data and information, and can be used by government organizations for sectors such as defense, oil and natural gas, mining, meteorology, and agriculture. Technological innovations in the field of satellite imagery include image-enhancing equipment, high-resolution cameras, and advanced remote-sensing technology. These recent innovations help to enhance the quality of satellite-based EO images, which can then be used in the defense, science, and R&D domains.
The augmented utilization of analytics is another factor that will spur the prospects for growth in this market. Satellites generate a large volume of information in the form of images, which can be difficult to analyze. Consequently, the need for data analytics has increased as it would help to provide meaning and structure to large volumes of unstructured data. To take advantage of this rising trend of data analytics, have initiated efforts to jump into the analytics space. For instance, Skybox Imaging, which was acquired by Google in 2014, is launching its fleet of low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites to provide a new source for big data analysis. The company provides high-resolution images and videos of any spot on the Earth three times per day.
Segmentation by type and analysis of the satellite-based EO market in APAC
- EO data
- VAS
According to this market research, the value-added services (VAS) segment was the largest market segment during 2015 and will continue its market dominance until 2020 owing to the large-scale acquisition of VAS from the defense and government sectors. Also, factors like the recent increase in the number of value-added contracts between government organizations and service providers will result in this market segment’s impressive CAGR of over 19% by 2020.
