Growing Popularity of Drones for Mapping Purposes to Create Lucrative Opportunities for Surveying & Mapping Service Providers, Predicts Fact.MR

Surveying & mapping service providers to benefit immensely from the use of uavs, which are much more economical than employing the services of an aircraft with a pilot and related instrument.


United States, Rockville MD, Sept. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, the global surveying & mapping services market was worth US$ 9 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3% during the forecast years of 2022-2032.

The survey and mapping industry has significantly benefited from drone technologies, since UAVs are less expensive and more accessible as compared to traditional methods. Conventional surveying methods require rental aircraft and trained pilots, along with attached recording instruments, which is a costly and resource-intensive process. The introduction of UAVs has substantially created a future opportunity for surveying & mapping services to gather spatial information in a tighter structure. This also allows the collection of geospatial information with easy storage, processing, and sharing capabilities.

  • For instance, in May 2022, PDRL, an India-based software company, introduced a SaaS platform – DroneNaksha - under the Svamitva Yojana scheme by the Government of India for mapping land parcels using drone technology across the country.
  • Similarly, in March 2022, Australia-based Emesent introduced Hovermap ST autonomous drone LiDAR mapping and surveying payload.

The integration of advanced technologies such as Wi-Fi, first-person view (FPV) cameras, and GPS technology to make UAVs highly flexible and eliminate the need for a skilled pilot is expected to stimulate the demand for drones for survey and mapping activities, thereby driving market expansion.
