The U.S. government’s 2025 budget has triggered a seismic shift in the global Earth Observation (EO) ecosystem. Massive funding cuts to NASA, NOAA, and environmental satellite programs have left a vacuum in climate monitoring, disaster response, and global data-sharing networks. But in this disruption lies a moment of transformation.
Our new white paper, “Shifting Earth Observation Market Dynamics: Navigating a New Era of Opportunity Amidst U.S. Funding Retrenchment,” explores how emerging EO powers—from the EU to India, China, the UAE, and Brazil—are stepping up to lead. Meanwhile, NewSpace commercial innovators like ICEYE, Planet, and dozens more are rapidly scaling to meet global demand.
The paper presents a strategic roadmap for startups, governments, and investors to tap into the booming downstream EO market, from precision agriculture and carbon tracking to defense, maritime security, and ESG finance. It includes high-impact visuals, market opportunity mapping, and a comprehensive breakdown of where private players can lead.
If you’re in space, climate tech, intelligence, or investment—this is your compass to navigate a rapidly decentralizing EO future.
