South America Land Survey Equipment Market

At 5.9% CAGR, the SAM Land Survey Equipment Market is projected to be worth US$ 556.36 million by 2028, says Business Market Insights 

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the SAM land survey equipment market was valued at US$ 395.05 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 556.36 million by 2028, registering a CAGR of 5.9% from 2022 to 2028. Use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and remote-control drones and increasing growth of industrial & agriculture sectors are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion.             

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and remote-control drones is increasing in the mapping and surveying professions. These technologies have many potential applications within several sectors related to land surveys, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. With the help of drones and UAVs, surveyors can get their data precisely and quickly. UAVs and drones are safer as it eliminates the requirement of manpower to enter dangerous environments for measurements. With the help of these technologies, surveyors can access areas that are inaccessible to humans. UAVs combines photogrammetry, 3D mapping, land surveys, topographic surveying, etc. However, legal permission must be taken from the respective authority before using UAVs and drones by the surveyors. There are a few challenges associated with using drones and UAVs for a survey, such as pilot training for the operator and its assessment, keeping up with regulations for the operation, and providing professional output to the customer. If surveyors overcome these challenges, the use of UAVs and drones is expected to become a trend in the land survey equipment market across the region.

On the contrary, lack of skilled manpower hurdles the growth of SAM land survey equipment market.
