Report Highlights
The global remote sensing technologies market is estimated at $8.3 billion in 2011. It is expected to reach at $9.1 billion in 2012 and it will further grow to $12.4 billion by 2017 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%.
Report Scope
This report focuses exclusively on products created from platform-mounted remote sensors. Thus, it excludes instruments that:
- Require physical contact with a substance, such as chromatographs,
- Handheld devices and field instruments,
- Airport screening systems,
- Products developed using national defense and intelligence instruments or platforms, and
- Geographic information system software.
This report is divided into three parts. The first part, comprising eight chapters, provides the following:
- An overview of the remote sensing industry
- An explanation of basic remote sensing operating concept
- A description of the 10 basic types of remote sensing instruments
- A description of the four types of remote sensing platforms
- Regional, instrument by application and platform by application estimates of 2011 demand for remote sensing products
- Regional, instrument-by-application and platform-by-application forecasts for the 5 years beginning in 2012
- A basic explanation of remote sensing image analysis techniques
The second part, chapters nine through 28, describes each of the market-driven applications for remote sensing. Tables present application-specific information about market drivers. Forecasts span 2012 through 2017, using 2011 as the reference year. For each of the 20 market-driven applications, separate tables show forecasts by region, with the U.S. shown separately. Global demand forecasts are also shown for remote sensing platforms and for remote sensing instruments are also included.
The third part of the study, consisting of the last two chapters, offers a review of remote sensing patents, including patent abstracts and the names of the inventors and original patent assignees. Chapter 30 concludes the study with brief descriptions of the major organizations that form and support the global remote sensing community.
