The global ground penetrating radar market size was valued at USD 336.2 million in 2021. The market is projected to grow from USD 367.3 million in 2022 to USD 612.6 million by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.58% during the forecast period.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a geophysical technique that uses high frequency electromagnetic waves to detect and map subsurface features. The method involves transmitting a short pulse of energy into the ground using an antenna and then measuring the time it takes for the energy to be reflected back to the surface. By analyzing the strength and timing of the returned signals, GPR can identify and map subsurface features such as buried utilities, pipes, and geological structures. GPR is a non-invasive and non-destructive method, making it a valuable tool for a wide range of applications, including environmental assessments, archaeological investigations, and infrastructure inspections. However, GPR data interpretation requires careful consideration and expertise to ensure accurate results.
