According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Photogrammetry Software market size was valued at US$ 1253 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 2196 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 8.4% during review period.
Photogrammetry is a science of making a measurement from photographs. This method is using the parallax obtained between several pictures, taken from different points of view. Photogrammetry can be used to record complex 2D and 3D motion fields. It is imitating the stereoscopy of the binocular human vision, and it is actually used to get all the information of existing physical objects. Photogrammetry is the technique to extract geometric information from two-dimensional images or video. This report mainly studies photogrammetry software market.
Global 5 largest manufacturers of Photogrammetry Software are Hexagon, Trimble, Autodesk, Pix4D and BAE Systems, which make up over 60%. Among them, Hexagon is the leader with about 25% market share. North America is the largest market, with a share over 40%, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific, with the share about 32% and 21%. In terms of product type, 3D Reconstruction Software occupies the largest share of the total market, about 51%. And in terms of application, the largest application is 3D Printing, Drones and Robots, followed by Building, Design & renovation.
Analysis of market drivers of photogrammetry software,
Definition: Photogrammetry software generates high-precision three-dimensional models through multi-view image analysis, and is widely used in surveying and mapping, engineering, cultural heritage protection, film and television special effects, drone inspection and other fields. Its core driving logic is the "data-efficiency-cost" triangle optimization.
1. Technological innovation and algorithm breakthrough
Evolution of computer vision:
Deep learning models (such as Transformer architecture) improve the accuracy of feature point matching to sub-pixel level, and the reconstruction error of complex scenes is reduced from 5cm to 1cm (ETH Zurich research).
Integration of real-time SLAM technology supports dynamic modeling on mobile terminals (such as iPad scanning indoor scenes to generate 3D models).
Hardware collaborative optimization:
Consumer drones (such as DJI Mavic 3) are equipped with 1/1.3-inch CMOS, and the amount of data collected per flight is increased by 400%, promoting the efficiency of large-scale terrain mapping.
Multispectral sensor fusion realizes vertical applications in industries such as vegetation health monitoring.
2. Industry digital transformation needs
Infrastructure and engineering fields:
BIM/CIM (building/city information model) requires photogrammetry to generate construction progress comparison models, reducing manual measurement costs by 70% (Dodge Data report).
Digital twin technology has given rise to the demand for virtual monitoring of industrial facilities, such as oil and gas pipeline corrosion detection.
Cultural heritage protection:
60% of the world's monuments face natural erosion (ICOMOS data), and high-precision scanning supports millimeter-level cultural relics reproduction, such as the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities using Agisoft Metashape to rebuild statues.
Film and television and game industries:
Unreal Engine 5 supports real-time photogrammetry asset import, shortening the production cycle of film and television special effects by 40% (Epic Games case).
3. Geospatial data explosion
Demand for high-precision maps:
L4 autonomous driving requires centimeter-level road network models, and photogrammetry replaces traditional LiDAR, reducing costs by 60% (Strategy Analytics).
The penetration rate of drone mapping will increase from 15% in 2022 to 40% in 2030 (DroneDeploy forecast), promoting applications in agriculture, mining and other fields.
Environmental monitoring and disaster assessment:
Satellite images + ground photogrammetry to monitor surface deformation (such as terrain analysis after wildfires in California), NASA uses drones to map volcanic activity areas.
4. Policy and compliance promotion
Smart city standards:
The EU Digital Europe Plan requires 80% of urban 3D modeling to be completed by 2027, and Singapore has launched the Virtual Singapore Plan.
China's "Realistic 3D China" construction needs to cover all prefecture-level cities within 5 years (Ministry of Natural Resources planning).
Environmental supervision upgrade:
Carbon sink measurement requires 3D structure analysis of forest canopy, and photogrammetry supports carbon trading verification under the RED++ mechanism.
5. Cost and user experience optimization
Popularization of software subscription model:
Cloud processing platforms (such as Bentley ContextCapture) reduce hardware barriers, and the adoption rate of small and medium-sized enterprises has increased by 3 times (Gartner data).
Open source tools (such as OpenDroneMap) promote the penetration of education/scientific research scenarios, and the number of GitHub stars has increased by 120% year-on-year.
Automated process simplification:
AI automatic aerial triangulation reduces manual intervention by 80%, shifting from "expert tool" to "mass productivity tool".
Market growth forecast and competition focus
Scale expansion: It is estimated that the photogrammetry software market will reach US$8.5 billion in 2030 (CAGR 14%), of which drone mapping and cultural heritage digitization are the growth poles (Mordor Intelligence).
Decisive factors:
Algorithm robustness: the ability to deal with complex scenes such as reflective surfaces and repeated textures.
Eco-integration: seamless connection with CAD/GIS/BIM platforms, such as Autodesk ReCap and Revit linkage.
Summary: The three core driving forces of technology democratization, industry digitalization policies, and geospatial data assetization, combined with hardware popularization and cost optimization, promote the evolution of photogrammetry from professional tools to mass productivity tools. Chinese companies need to break through the bottlenecks of large-scale scene reconstruction efficiency and industry customized algorithms to seize the entrance to smart cities and industrial digital twins.
