Market Segmentation

1. Type

Divided into on‑premises and on‑demand solutions, the on‑demand segment is expected to dominate, driven by increasing demand for cloud-based analytics in both defense and commercial sectors. Nonetheless, Fortune Business Insights notes a sustained need for on-premises deployments in scenarios with security restrictions, especially in commercial environments.

2. Solution Type

Segmented into end‑to‑end and point solutions, the end‑to‑end category is forecasted to lead, as customers look for comprehensive service—from initial data capture to final reporting. However, Fortune Business Insights points out that in defense sectors of countries like India, China, and South Korea, security restrictions are buoying demand for point solutions.

3. Application

The aerial monitoring segment held the largest market share in 2022 and is projected to remain the fastest-growing segment, driven by construction-related use cases such as 3D modeling and volumetric analysis.
