Photogrammetry Software Market Research Report by Photogrammetry Type (Aerial Photogrammetry, Terrestrial and Close Range Photogrammetry, Satellite Photogrammetry, Underwater Photogrammetry, Others), by Deployment Model [On-Premises, Cloud Based (SaaS)],

The global photogrammetry software market is expected to expand to USD 11,176.96 million, advancing at a CAGR of 18.6% during the forecast period. Photogrammetry software processes images captured from cameras or drones to generate 2D or 3D representations of objects and terrains. It works by stitching together overlapping photos to extract spatial information and create precise measurements. This method is valuable for fields such as surveying, urban planning, and environmental monitoring.

The global photogrammetry software market is growing significantly, mainly because of the use of 3D models and maps in construction, agriculture, forestry, and urban development. The adoption of technologies like drones, LiDAR, and the use of advanced camera systems has greatly contributed to the success of photogrammetry software - these are all tools that provide the measurements needed for photogrammetry with high accuracy, and usually at a lower price, and with a higher pace than traditional survey methods. Its expanding role in AR/VR experiences, smart city digital twins, and defense applications such as mission planning and threat assessment underscores its importance as a key growth driver.
