Market Trends of UAE Geospatial Analytics Industry

Surface Analysis is Expected to Hold Significant Share of the Market

  • Surface analysis, or terrain analysis, focuses on studying topography-related information, such as aspect, volume, slope, hydrology, and other relevant characteristics. Surface analysis is widely used in disaster mitigation and location planning, as they effectively use esoteric mapping to determine the probability of disasters. The general characteristics of a surface (such as slope, aspect, and curvature) are largely used for analyzing the variations in the surface of a study object.
  • For instance, the 'slope' metric is extensively used to define the areas of a region that are highly prone to landslides, whereas 'curvature' is used to determine areas prone to damage. In addition, the slope aspect can be used with the geological structure to assess rock beds that may be useful for planning roads and other constructions, especially in hilly terrains. Surface analysis can be further used for ecological zoning, land suitability classification, and probability mapping. Agricultural suitability and probability of soil erosion are two such examples, where geospatial data may be extensively used to make the best use of the available land, in addition to limited agriculture labor.
  • Furthermore, the 'slope' metric is extensively used to define the areas of a region that are highly prone to landslides, whereas 'curvature' is used to determine areas prone to damage. Furthermore, visibility analysis is conducted to identify areas during location planning, in which case, locations with expansive views are recognized as vantage points. Surface analysis is also widely used during the construction/renovation of large sites, wherein the volume of materials required to be dumped in open areas to avert erosion is determined.
  • APICORP stated that from 2022 to 2026, the ADNOC LNG Fujairah LNG export terminal project, among other energy investment projects in the UAE, had the highest value of nearly eight billion USD

Utility and Communication is Expected to Hold Significant Share of the Market

  • Utility and Communication is a prominent end-user industry that has adopted geospatial analytics. The segment contains mostly energy and power, and communication systems. Analytic techniques used in the sector determine energy consumption profiles of high-resolution buildings, using a method that combines annual energy simulations of various city-specific prototypical assets and geospatial data, from the Geographical Information System (GIS) framework.
  • According to World Nuclear Association, The United Arab Emirates' (UAE) operable nuclear power generation capacity reached nearly 4 gigawatt electrical. in 2023. UAE had two reactors under construction and two operating in that year. The demand for the rise in the electricity would drive the construction of new powerplants and this would propotinatley rise the demand for the geospatial analytics in the region.
  • Communications companies in the region are taking the help of geospatial analytics to determine the location of new cell phone tower installations. Geospatial data obtained from the devices is used to measure signal strength from particular towers in that location, and the range of that signal is used to understand the lack of coverage and signal strength. Various parameters, like population density, road positioning, and customer location, are considered to decide the location of the new cell tower installation.
  • Analysis of geospatial data can also allow communications companies to manage their assets effectively. For instance, a company can analyze geospatial data to understand the power outage vulnerability of a site in the event of a storm, thereby managing its network assets. Furthermore, the company can also understand the deployment of its service assets (such as repair crews) to determine how to position them in case maintenance is needed.
  • The major features that have made Geovisualization absolutely invaluable for today's businesses are thematic mapping, heat maps, drawing and querying, and data points that can be represented both numerically and graphically. Drawing and querying help a business isolate a particular geographic area and learn more about its demographic profile against its current CRM. Geovisualization is being extensively used by ride-hailing start-ups like Uber. Uber's Kepler. gl geospatial tool, which is now an open source, is a geospatial data visualization tool that doesn't require coding, works in the browser, doesn't need to be installed, can render millions of GPS points, and is simple to use.
