Market Size & Trends

The global weather information technologies market size was valued at USD 13.51 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.6% from 2025 to 2030. Factors such as massive global climate change, the increasing need for weather forecasts and early warning of events such as heat waves, storms, hurricanes, tornados, cloudbursts, and torrential rains, the requirement for agricultural assistance, and effective emergency management primarily drive the growth of this market.

Weather information technologies offer significant assistance in multiple aspects of modern global businesses, including transportation and fleet management, power and energy supply, resource allocations, strategy implementation, and more. In international trade, weather information technologies are vital in providing actionable insights regarding weather conditions of transport routes, including sea, sky, railways, and roads. This helps companies avoid delays, reduce transport costs, minimize wastages, and ensure effective operations.

Weather information technologies are extensively used in the aviation industry to ensure planes, passengers, and cargo safety and security. These technologies provide key information, predictions, early warnings, and necessary alerts to operation teams on the ground regarding expected downpours, temperature and dew points, fog, precipitation velocity, cloud cover, moisture levels, predictive analysis, and more. These insights ensure an uninterrupted flow of operations in suitable conditions and halt take-offs or diversions in landing during disruptive weather conditions.

Component Insights

The monitoring devices segment dominated the global markets with a revenue share of 37.9% in 2024. Weather monitoring devices are often used in industries such as agriculture to derive and share data regarding temperature, soil, humidity, moisture, the possibility of rains, and more, and in aviation for essential tasks such as flight planning construction to ensure efficient resource management and safety, energy, and power for resource allocations and management of uninterrupted supply, and others.

The software segment is expected to experience the highest CAGR from 2025 to 2030 owing to the rapid pace of technology transformation and digitization in multiple industries, increasing focus of businesses on enhancing the availability of information to ensure reduction in costs, wastages, and loss of valuable resources such as time, property, equipment, machinery and more, rising availability of efficient weather information technology driven software solutions and growing impact of climate change on every industry.

Application Insights

The weather monitoring and forecasting segment held the largest revenue share of the global market in 2024. Weather monitoring and forecasting technologies are extensively used in industries such as aviation, supply chain management, transportation, governance and public safety, disaster management, agriculture, and others for operational excellence. For instance, in August 2024, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) collaborated with the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) to introduce an “Early Warning System for All’. This digital platform is designed and deployed for monitoring weather conditions and delivering early warnings for well-foreseen changes of extreme nature in events of natural disasters.

The air quality management segment is projected to experience a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Some of the commonly used air quality management technologies include air quality sensors, air quality maps, reference-grade monitors, low-cost sensors, satellite monitoring, electrostatic precipitators, urban air purifiers, and others. Multiple municipal corporations and government agencies use these tools to ensure monitoring and repair of the city’s air quality impacted by various factors such as carbon emissions, smoke, fog, and others.

Forecast Range Insights

The medium-range segment dominated the global market in 2024. The medium-range forecast offers enhanced accuracy, improved effectivity in risk management, support for aviation operations, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use. The data assimilation techniques, integration of real-time data, enhanced preparedness, and assistance offered during disaster management are some of the factors expected to influence its growth.

The short-range forecast segment is anticipated to experience the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Multiple industries prefer short-range forecasts, such as domestic aviation, domestic or inter-continental transportation, fleet management, e-commerce, military and defense, government, emergency management, supply chain management, and others.

End-use Insights

The meteorology & weather service provider segment held the largest revenue share in 2024 owing to the primary use of weather information technologies by meteorology departments in government agencies and weather information service providers. This includes the government, information services industry, aviation assistance companies, educational institutes, research organizations, and others.

The transportation segment is projected to experience the fastest CAGR from 2025 to 2030. Transportation of goods, commodities, and other products is highly influenced by weather conditions such as storms, hurricanes, sea storm emergencies, events of floods and heavy downpours, and others. Climate change often results in landslides, cloudbursts, extreme changes in temperature, the development of low-pressure belts in the sea, and more. It leads to disruptions in planned transporting operations, wastage of perishable goods, spillage, loss of resources, damages to assets such as vessels, containers, vehicles, etc., heavy impact on cost, and more. The transportation industry integrates modern and weather information technologies to address such potential challenges, providing reliable intelligence and actionable insights. The emergence of smart vehicles, predictive intelligence, and other innovation-based technologies is expected to influence the growth of this segment in the approaching years.
