THE IMPACT OF COVID-19

The COVID-19 outbreak had a global impact on the aerial imaging industry. The COVID-19 pandemic has slowed new product deliveries for the majority of large drone and UAV manufacturers due to supply chain disruption. The pandemic has also had an impact on revenue streams allocated to R&D and the adoption of new technologies in the aerial imaging sector. Throughout 2020 and mid-2021, challenges such as manufacturing difficulties and low demand for new drones and UAVs in the face of stringent lockdown measures were observed. However, post-pandemic demand for aerial imaging is expected to increase significantly due to the growing application of aerial imagery and analytics in a variety of end-use verticals.

The aerial imaging market operates in a variety of industries including government, power, military and defense, agriculture, trade and civil engineering, etc. Government is expected to be an integral part of end-of-life spending during the forecast period. The public sector uses this technology for a variety of purposes such as city planning, national security, energy management, and environmental studies, etc. In addition, agricultural and forestry applications and trade are also expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.

A few agricultural applications that include testing and planning of fertilizers and pesticides, soil sampling, and creating controlled areas, etc. In commercial applications, aerial imaging is used to monitor the progress of creation, advertising, and promotion. In addition, increasing the use of aerial imaging in the construction and management of natural resources is expected to favor market growth in the forecast period. Road planning, land use calculations, and proven groundwork references are just a few of the features used by civil engineering. The use of the energy system includes mining operations and goods etc. The aerial imaging market is divided into four sections: application, end user, platform, and region. Geospatial mapping, disaster management, energy and resource management, surveillance and monitoring, urban planning, and other applications comprise the global market.

Furthermore, factors such as a growth in demand for aerial imaging in catastrophe risk reduction and prevention, an increase in demand for various commercial applications, and the usage of aerial imaging technologies all contribute to an increase in demand. in the establishment of 5G infrastructure are expected to supplement aerial imaging market growth.
