Weather Forecasting Services Market By Forecasting Type (Nowcast, Short-range Forecasting, Medium-range Forecasting, Long-range Forecasting), By End-use Industries (Agriculture & Fisheries, Aviation, Transportation & Logistics, Marine, Energy & Utilities, Media, Others) - Growth, Future Prospects & Competitive Analysis, 2018 – 2026

Industry Outlook

Acyclic nature of weather and growth in end-use industries dependent on forecast stimulating the weather forecasting services market to register market value of US$ 1,300.5 Mn in 2017 and estimated to touch US$ 1,951.8 Mn by 2026 with a compound annual growth rate of 4.6%. Global warming and continued deterioration of natural resources disturbed the cyclic nature of weather. This can create a negative impact on end-use industries that heavily rely on weather and thus, encouraging the need for weather forecast services. Rapidly evolving satellite communication, digital imagery coupled with advanced predictive software changed the outlook of weather forecast and impacted several end-use industries. Perpetual growth in such industries has a lion share in promoting weather forecasting services market.

"Nowcast and Short-range Forecast Runs in Close Quarters for Market Domination" 

Fast paced weather forecast and short-range weather forecast are two of the most preferred weather forecast in the year 2017. These two segments also face each other in the race of fastest growing segment in terms of market value. Nowcast is commonly used through mobile application for services and end-use industries where precision is not of great concern. However, short-range weather forecast is must have vital information for end-use industries such as aviation, transportation and marine. Nowcast and Short-range are also extensively used during natural calamities and disasters for carrying out effective rescue operations. Medium-range and long-range preferred for applications such as agriculture and fisheries for predicting the nature of output and safety hence expected to experience retarded growth compared to Nowcast and short-range forecast.
