India Satellite-based Earth Observation Market Analysis

The India Satellite-based Earth Observation Market is expected to register a CAGR of 15.34% during the forecast period.

There is a growing demand for accurate and timely geospatial information across various sectors such as agriculture, urban planning, infrastructure development, environmental monitoring, disaster management, and defense. Satellite-based earth observation provides a valuable source of geospatial data, driving the market as the need for such information expands.

  • India has made significant strides in satellite-based earth observation, primarily driven by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the country's prominent space agency. ISRO has successfully launched several remote sensing satellites, including the Resourcesat, Cartosat, and Oceansat series, equipped with advanced imaging and sensing capabilities.
  • The market is driven by various factors, including the increasing demand for accurate geospatial information, the government's initiatives and investments, technological advancements in satellite technology and data processing techniques, the need for improved agricultural practices and food security, urban development and infrastructure planning, disaster management and climate change monitoring, defense and security applications, and the emergence of commercial opportunities.
  • The government of India has been actively supporting satellite-based earth observation through programs like the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) and the National Geospatial Program (NGP). These initiatives aim to enhance the country's earth observation capabilities, promote research and development, and facilitate the dissemination of satellite data and geospatial information to various user sectors.
  • Further, advancements in satellite technology, remote sensing instruments, and data processing techniques have significantly improved the capabilities of satellite-based earth observation. Higher-resolution imagery, improved spectral capabilities, and enhanced data processing algorithms enable more detailed and accurate Earth surface analysis. Technological advancements continue to drive market growth by providing better data quality, higher efficiency, and improved analysis capabilities.
  • Despite significant advancements, satellite-based earth observation still has certain limitations. These include limitations in cloud cover, temporal resolution, revisit frequency, and accuracy of specific parameters. Overcoming technical limitations and continuously improving data quality and processing capabilities are necessary for expanding the market's potential.

India Satellite-based Earth Observation Industry Overview

The India satellite-based earth observation market is expected to be fragmented in nature. The market consists of various players offering satellite imagery, data analytics, and related services. These players include government agencies, research institutions, private companies, and international organizations. The India satellite-based earth observation market is characterized by a diverse range of public and private players contributing to developing and applying satellite imagery and data analytics for earth observation purposes. Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Antrix Corporation Limited, Maxar Technologies Holdings Inc., EagleView Technologies, Inc., and Karnataka State Remote Sensing Applications Centre (KSRSAC) are a few prominent players operating in the market.

In June 2023, GalaxEye, a space technology business incubated at IIT-Madras, announced plans to develop the first multi-sensor earth observation satellite with a visible spectrum camera that offers synchronized imaging that can take numerous photographs simultaneously. The firm will launch its first satellite, "Drishti Mission," the following year.

In November 2022, Oceansat-3, an Earth observation satellite, and eight other client spacecraft were successfully launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) into two distinct orbits. Oceansat-3 is designed to observe ocean surface temperature, wind vectors, and ocean color data for oceanography, climatology, and meteorological applications. According to the ISRO, the satellite also offers value-added products, including identifying possible fishing zones using SST, wind speed, other data, and land-based applications.
