The Research
The NOAA Satellite and Information Service Division contracted Global Marketing Insights to conduct a research study of the international remote sensing market as it relates to aerial and satellite data technologies. Global Marketing Insights created a series of extensive online surveys covering issues related to eight sectors of the remote sensing market: aerial film, aerial digital, aerial sensors, satellites, commercial end users, value added hardware and software, academic, and government. These surveys were completed by geospatial industry professionals and end users worldwide between February and August 2005.
Consultants, companies, and academics interested in remote sensing technology, data products, and industry trends should be eager to get a copy of this report which will serve as a valuable planning tool for those seeking to capitalize on the growing market opportunities that our industry is realizing from the use of remotely sensed data products.
