Earth observation (EO) is becoming a critical source of intelligence for leaders navigating a world increasingly shaped by climate risk, geopolitical shifts and supply chain disruption.
Written in collaboration with Deloitte, this report shows that, while EO already contributes an estimated $440 billion to global GDP (gross domestic product), a further $263 billion in annual value remains unrealized across data acquisition, processing and deployment. Unlocking progress across these three domains will determine whether EO moves from a high-potential capability to system-level impact.
