Global Geospatial Solution Market - 2024 - 2031

Report Overview

The Global Geospatial Solutions Market size was worth US$ 492.76 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach US$ 1132.93 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 11.0% during the forecast period (2024-2031).

The expanding field of geospatial technology includes the Geographic Information System (GIS), the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Remote Sensing (RS), a technology that offers a new way of producing and using maps that are needed to regulate communities and companies. We may acquire georeferenced data using geospatial technology and use it for analysis, modeling, simulations and visualization.

Many industries employ geographic solutions to generate geospatial data models and solutions. Sensors, real-time communications, field apps, field & back-office processing, modeling and analytics are all integrated to enable efficient workflow, high data quality and data interchange to boost productivity, efficiency and safety.

Market Dynamics

The use of new and forthcoming technologies such as 3D, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) in GIS systems has aided the development of geospatial solutions. Artificial intelligence (AI), automation, cloud, the Internet of Things (IoT) and sensor downsizing are projected to be the engines for growth.

The rising penetration of AI and ML-based GIS

Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and geographic information systems (GIS) have increasingly collaborated. While GIS is a powerful technology with large data sets and a wide range of AI applications, artificial intelligence may help with GIS projects by providing advanced approaches.

AI GIS is a term that refers to a combination of AI technology and various GIS procedures, such as spatial data analysis algorithms (GeoAI) that combine AI technology, as well as several AI and GIS-enabled technologies. To address the current intelligent challenge of GIS systems, using AI GIS to enhance and maintain the next stage of the evolution of GIS technology systems is a cost-effective solution. The initial use of AI GIS was to extract geographic information from satellite imaging photographs and videos using computer vision.

Organizations benefit from the capabilities when they are paired with geospatial data. To give enterprises better insights, AI and machine learning-based solutions are being deployed by geospatial analytics solution providers such as ESRI and SAP. Drone deployment and satellite images have improved dramatically in recent years. For example, during the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, MicroMultiCopter (Shenzhen) deployed over 100 drones in various Chinese cities to patrol regions and efficiently identify people and traffic.

Growing adoption of 5G connectivity and communication technology

The introduction of 5G network services is projected to open up new prospects for geospatial analytics suppliers, as 5G technology may be used to capture highly precise geographical data. The 5G network would primarily use three bands of the spectrum: low-band, mid-band and high-band. Sub 1GHz spectrum is another term for low-band spectrum. It is largely a carrier's spectrum band and it quickly becomes depleted. The mid-band spectrum offers better coverage and latency than the low-band spectrum. However, when opposed to a low-band spectrum, a mid-band spectrum fails to penetrate buildings.

mm-Wave is a term used to describe a high-band spectrum. It has low latency and can reach peak rates of up to 10 GBPS. Small cells are required for 5G deployment because they aid users' connectivity to 5G transceiver towers. Due to huge antenna arrays and broad bandwidths, 5G networks will likely provide device positioning shortly. Particularly in Line of Sight (LOS) situations, these would have extremely accurate Direction-of-Arrival (DOA) and Time-of-Arrival (TOA) estimations. The deployment of 5G infrastructure relies heavily on geospatial data.

Limited awareness of the benefits of geospatial solutions

Many businesses are unaware of the benefits of geospatial analytics solutions, which may be utilized in a variety of commercial applications; as a result, adoption is still low in several industries. Implementing geospatial analytics necessitates a thorough awareness of the specific application area of business and a thorough comprehension of the complete capabilities of geospatial analytics solutions.

Better business decision-making is aided by geospatial data and business intelligence (BI), which leads to new income opportunities, enhanced cost visibility and better risk management. Geospatial analytics solution vendors may address this issue by aggressively raising knowledge about the advantages of adopting geospatial analytics across industries.

Market Segment Analysis

The geospatial solutions market by solutions is segmented into hardware, software and service.

Software to hold the lion's share

As software generates most income, it accounts for a larger portion of the geospatial technologies and solutions market. Geospatial-specific software creates a platform that serves as a user interface for executing and analyzing various geospatial data. In addition, increased geospatial software use across important industries such as military and supply chain management would boost demand for geospatial software.

Market Geographical Analysis

Heavy reliance on remote sensing technology in North America

The strong use of remote sensing capabilities by key end-use industries, such as utilities, transportation, defense & intelligence and infrastructure development, is credited with the region's growth. Drone, aerial and satellite images and other types of remotely sensed data expand the boundaries of almost every aspect of existence.

In recent years, the country has made excellent progress in strengthening remote sensing capabilities by deploying strong mapping, geospatial analytics, artificial geospatial intelligence and modeling technologies. Geospatial solutions have shown to be quite effective in enhancing defense and military capabilities across U.S. Demand for defense geospatial solutions is increasing dramatically due to the significant financial allocation for enhancing defense capabilities.

U.S. Senate voted in December 2021 to adopt a defense spending measure worth around US$ 770 billion for FY 2022 to improve surveillance and monitoring capabilities. ESRI, for example, is already operating in this space with its ArcGIS platform, which can map, analyze, visualize and share imagery & raster data to draw greater insights.

Market Competitive Landscape

Major global geospatial solutions market companies include Here Technologies, Pitney Bowes, Hexagon Geospatial, Maxar Technologies, Geospatial Corporation, Topcon Positioning Systems, Harris Corporation orbital Insights, Google Inc. and GE Company.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The geospatial industry played a crucial role in the relief and recovery efforts during the pandemic. The geospatial network implemented preventive measures to track the spread of the virus and provide real-time data. Geographic information proved essential for identifying and responding to disease outbreaks.

Disease transmission experts used GIS to analyse events based on factors such as socioeconomic conditions, environmental factors, geology, and historical events. This approach enhanced the understanding of flare-ups, their spread patterns, and the necessary measures for control, prevention, and monitoring. Health organizations utilized GIS to identify vulnerable populations and plan effective interventions during the pandemic.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine is expected to have substantial consequences for the geospatial solutions market, both in the immediate and extended periods. Geospatial technologies are vital in multiple areas of military operations, intelligence collection and strategic planning, making them indispensable tools in combat zones. Consequently, there might be a higher need for geospatial solutions to assist military and defense operations, such as analyzing satellite imagery, providing geospatial intelligence and conducting reconnaissance missions.

Furthermore, the violence has caused significant disruptions to the activities of geospatial solution providers who depend on data sources, infrastructure or skilled individuals situated in the impacted areas. Geospatial products and services may face obstacles in reaching customers worldwide due to supply chain delays, interruptions in data collecting or geopolitical concerns.
