Additionally, the growing need for improved site evaluation and monitoring of water resources are significantly propelling the market growth. Furthermore, advances in imaging technology and new technological developments in cameras and drones have also contributed to the market's expansion. The aerial imagery market is moving towards consolidation since key players are acquiring each other and forming partnerships. However, restrictions on the commercial use of drones in various regions and countries may act as major restraints on market growth.
Increasing Use of Drone-Based Technology Driving the Global Aerial Imagery Market
Since drones do not require data links that add to their weight, various government bodies use them to create maps instead of relying on manual mapping (central mapping authority). Drones are also gaining traction within construction sites due to their ability to fully view the infrastructure from all angles and make better strategic decisions for mapping roads, parking, and open space. Additionally, capital projects and infrastructure maintenance benefit from drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Drone images enable businesses to acquire image sets with great precision and at a cost-effective price. Such factors are anticipated to drive the overall market in the forecast period.
Growing Application of Aerial Imagery for Security Purposes is Projected to Drive the Market Growth
The expanding use of aerial imagery for security and surveillance purposes is presenting lucrative growth opportunities to the global aerial imagery market. The use of drones is rapidly gaining traction for identifying intruders, and they prove to be very useful for tracking and apprehending them. In high-sensitive areas such as public demonstrations, hospitals, schools, government buildings, etc., security drones provide a closer look at intruders without alerting them and enabling the security team to respond.
