From Orbit to Insight: How Satellites and AI Are Transforming Industries
Satellites are now using AI more than ever - to track weather, monitor forests, guide ships, and much more. The commercial space sector already accounts for 77% of the global space economy, showing just how active private companies have become. Space is becoming a key player in how we work with AI and big data and in 2023 alone, private companies attracted 9.3 billion EUR in investment. The part of this sector focused on analyzing satellite data is growing especially fast—over 40% a year until 2028. As more satellites collect more information, AI helps turn it into useful insights. By 2033, the AI and space industry is expected to grow by more than 45.6 billion EUR.
Satellite-based data feeds into AI-driven climate models, helping forecast temperature shifts, sea level rise, and extreme weather.
Insurers use satellite imagery analyzed by AI to assess property risks, detect fraud, and model exposure to environmental hazards.
AI analyzes satellite imagery to detect wildfires early, track their spread, and support rapid emergency response.
Satellite data combined with AI identifies oil spills, gas leaks, and pollution patterns for faster environmental risk management.
AI analyzes satellite imagery to track crop health, soil moisture, and irrigation needs, optimizing yield and resource use.
AI uses satellite data to map urban expansion, traffic patterns, and infrastructure development for smarter city planning.
