Ground Penetrating Radar Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type (Handheld Systems, Cart-Based Systems, Vehicle-Mounted Systems), By Offering (Equipment, Services), By Application (Utility Detection, Concrete Investigation, Transportation Infrastructure, Archaeology) and Regional Forecast, 2021-2028

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) sensor is a geophysical device that records the underground subsurface structures without any drilling activity. GPR is the non-destructive method in which the technologically advanced radar sends electromagnetic pulses of several frequencies (Up to 1000 MHz). These frequencies are reflected from subsurface structures. The transmitted pulses are going to pull back when they are transmitted on several materials due to a rapidly change in the velocity. Increasing procurement of GPR systems on a rental basis owing to propel the market.
