The global geohazard market size was USD 629.9 million in 2020. The global impact of COVID-19 has been unprecedented and staggering, with geohazard services witnessing a negative demand shock across all regions amid the pandemic. Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited a significant decline of -17.3% in 2020. The market is projected to grow from USD 658.3 million in 2021 to USD 910.2 million in 2028 at a CAGR of 4.7% in the 2021-2028 period. The increase in CAGR is attributable to this market’s demand and growth, returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.


A geohazard is a type of geological condition that poses possibilities to cause significant damage to over the surface structures. These geological conditions are formed over the years through the effect of environmental changes along with variations in lithological temperatures and pressures. Consequently, a combination of various technologies is required to assess, identify, and combat the geological problems before the setup of new infrastructures to mitigate any risks. The disaster management services utilize different data collection methods to correctly assess technical and social issues and reduce the impact of a wide range of geological hazards such as volcanic activities, tsunamis, earthquakes, landslides, and floods.


Inhibitions in New Project Investments Hamper the Industry amid COVID-19 Pandemic


The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 across the globe has significantly affected the financial conditions of various nations. Governments worldwide have implemented stringent policies, such as national and state-level lockdowns, along with social distancing norms to limit the expansion of the virus. Consequently, the countries have experienced deterioration in investment opportunities owing to the shutdown of business operations along with cash deficits in industrial operations.


Moreover, the affected population is confined to certain facilities to contain the spread of viral infection across the general public. Besides, the ability of individuals as well as medical staff to cope up with unnatural events has been significantly hampered due to the pandemic conditions. Consequently, various organizations are striving to enhance their understanding to estimate the risk vulnerabilities of extreme climates and geohazards to the infected individuals within restricted locations.


For instance, in June 2020, a funded initiative called CONVERGE under the University of Colorado Boulder, U.S., directed its special working group to assess the intensity and vulnerability of personnel against geological hazards during the pandemic. The group is also set to adopt various monitoring systems to examine and advance understandings for optimizing the hazard-related preparations amid the COVID-19.
