Based on technology type, the global commercial satellite imaging market is segmented into optical and radar. The radar segment is accounted for the largest share and this segment is expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period due to the increasing usage of satellite imaging in taking pictures at night time. Based on application, the market is segmented into defense and intelligence, surveillance and security, energy and natural resource management, disaster management, urban planning and development, geospatial data acquisition, and mapping. The geospatial data acquisition and mapping segment is anticipated to have growth opportunities due to its rising services for most government agencies and defense authorities for many applications. Along with this, the defense and intelligence segment is also expected to drive the market due to the current threat of terrorism and attacks on essential infrastructure, which can be tracked and detected through mapping the location; thus, it can be protected by adopting preventive measures. 

Based on end-user, the global commercial satellite imaging market is categorized into government, military, and defense, agriculture, and forestry, energy, civil engineering and archeology, transportation, and logistics, among others. The military and defense segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share. This segment uses commercial satellite imaging which has become the major end-user category. Due to the rising usage of security and surveillance applications, that is the main functionalities of every defense and military organization, the commercial satellite imaging market is expected to have significant growth during the upcoming years. However, due to the safety of other countries government authorities, which have restricted some usage of commercial satellite imaging access to global spaces. Geographically, the commercial satellite imaging market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Africa, and Middle East Country. Among these, the North American region is expected to hold its leading position throughout the upcoming years due to the increasing adoption of commercial satellite imaging technology for various sectors.
