Market Trends of Ground Penetrating Radar Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Ground Penetrating Radar Market according to our research experts:
Oil and Gas Industry to Witness Significant Growth
- GPR tools and equipments are used to reduce the level of danger by providing extremely accurate and reliable information. The engineers rely upon GPR equipment for the examination of geological bodies dangerous for drilling operations (carven-load, bedded ices), detection of underground pipeline leakage, the precise location of coal, natural gas and oil deposits.
- As per the IOGP’s global production report 2019, demand for oil and gas is at the peak, greater than ever before, with dramatic growth in Africa, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and the Americas. This has fueled the investment in the exploration and production of oil to meet the growing demand.
- Many mid-sized players are forming strategic alliances for the development of unconventional resources. For instance, in 2019, Ecopetrol and Occidental Petroleum Corp agreed to form a joint venture for the development of unconventional reservoirs in approximately 97,000 acres of the Permian Basin in the State of Texas which is one of the largest and most active oil basins in the United States, accounting for approximately 30% of the total U.S. oil production. Thus, strengthening the demand of GPR equipment in oil and gas industry.

North America to Record a Significant Growth
- North America ground penetrating radar market is expected to hold a significant share due to the favorable development in military, utility detection, transport infrastructure.
- US military is constantly upgrading equipments with advanced technology every year to bring about ground-breaking change. The U.S Army is planning to install ground-penetrating radar on drone that will be capable of surveying previously inaccessible locations. They are attempting to embed this technology onto a chip so that it can display a digital map of the surroundings.
- The players operating in the region are focusing on new product developments to increase their production capabilities. For instance, in October 2019, GSSI, United States based ground penetrating radar (GPR) equipment manufacturer has introduced the new 200 MHz (200 HS) antenna, the first of the next-generation, high-performance GS Series that is designed for applications that require deeper depth penetration. It is ideal for geophysical, geotechnical, or environmental applications that require high reliability under challenging survey conditions.
