The global ground penetrating radar market size was valued at $0.5 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $1.1 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2021 to 2030.
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a geophysical technology for imaging below the surface of ground by using radar pulses. It is a nonintrusive approach of surveying the subsurface to look for metals, concrete, asphalt, pipes, and cables. This nondestructive method detects reflected signals from subsurface structures using electromagnetic (EM) radiation in the microwave frequency band (VHF/UHF frequencies) of the radio spectrum.

Growth of the global ground penetrating radar market is anticipated to be driven by factors such as benefit of GPR systems over other traditional technologies such as radiography and increase in concerns related to safety & protection of underground utilities. Moreover, surge in demand for GPR for a wide range of applications such as concrete investigation, transportation infrastructure, municipal inspection, disaster inspection, geology & environment, and archaeology fuels the market growth. However, lack of skilled workforce to operate GPR equipment acts as a major restraint of the market. On the contrary, modernization of existing infrastructure is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the ground penetrating radar industry.
