Middle East Satellite-based Earth Observation Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Middle East Satellite-based Earth Observation Market Analysis

The Middle East Satellite-based Earth Observation Market is expected to register a CAGR of 8.94% during the forecast period.

Remote sensing technology with earth observation is used in many industries to detect and monitor natural phenomena and human activities from a distance using various types of sensors such as optical, radar, and radio frequency. Remote sensing technologies are deemed essential to national capacities, with applications ranging from environmental mapping to urban development to public safety.

• The Middle East region has been investing in satellite-based earth observation services for various reasons, such as environmental monitoring and management, natural resource management, urban planning and development, disaster management, agriculture, and forestry management. These are some of the driving factors behind the growth of satellite-based earth observation services in the Middle East region.
• The growing use of satellites for environmental monitoring is one of the main factors driving the global expansion of the satellite-based earth observation industry. Satellite-based earth observation can be used for various purposes, including monitoring and tracking GHG emissions, deforestation, changes in polar ice, wildfires, and coral bleaching. Recent advancements in sensing and imaging technologies have resulted in the development of superior observation satellites for environmental monitoring. These satellites make it possible to measure numerous indicators and deliver photos with a higher resolution.
• As the region depends on oil exports, disaster management is essential due to the trade; partnerships are forming to minimize the damage and effectively contribute to the market.
• For instance, in June 2023, The Qatari Ministry of Environment & Climate Change received a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR*1) satellite-based oil spill detection service, which ITOCHU Corporation and SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation announced. This service, which employs SAR satellite imagery downlinked to KSAT and its partners' ground stations to identify offshore oil leaks, is offered in collaboration with Kongsberg Satellite Services, AS, a global ground network and satellite-based earth observation services provider. Following such a procedure, analysis is carried out in conjunction with data supplied by vessels' AIS (Automatic Identification Systems), allowing the identification of the vessel with the oil leak.

Middle East Satellite-based Earth Observation Industry Segmentation

Satellite-based earth observation is done with the help of satellites orbiting around the planet to view and identify environmental changes, map making, etc. The satellite-based earth observation technology captures and stores information from satellites relating to the physical, biological, and chemical compositions of the Earth for monitoring, surveillance, and decision-making in various verticals, such as defense and intelligence, infrastructure and engineering, natural resource management, energy and power, and disaster management.

The Middle East satellite-based earth observation market is segmented by type (earth observation data and value added services), by satellite orbit(low earth orbit, medium earth orbit, and geostationary orbit), and by end-use (urban development and cultural heritage, agriculture, climate services, energy and raw materials, infrastructure, and others) and by country (United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and others).
