The gps equipment market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2.39 billion in 2023 to $2.47 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3%. The growth during the historic period was driven by various factors such as the increased adoption in military applications, the booming consumer electronics sector, the launch and proliferation of GPS satellites, the automotive industry's integration, and government-led initiatives and investments.

The gps equipment market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.88 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9%. The projected expansion hinges on IoT, enhanced security, data analytics, emergency response, and autonomous drone integration. Anticipated trends encompass wider outdoor recreation, increased safety focus, autonomous vehicle development, amplified agricultural utilization, and government-led initiatives and regulations.

The growth of the GPS equipment market is strongly influenced by the increased utilization of GPS tracking devices in commercial vehicles. These devices play a crucial role in monitoring various commercial vehicles, including trucks, buses, heavy commercial vehicles, and construction vehicles. By employing GPS trackers, companies can achieve real-time monitoring, optimize routes, enhance operational efficiency, and improve fuel efficiency in their commercial vehicle fleets. This adoption of GPS technology provides businesses with a competitive edge, enabling them to offer superior customer experiences. Consequently, the widespread use of GPS equipment in the commercial vehicle sector stands out as a significant driver fueling the growth of the GPS equipment market.

The ongoing and expanding adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors is anticipated to be a key driver propelling the growth of the GPS equipment market. IoT devices and sensors serve as integral components within the broader IoT ecosystem, connecting physical objects and devices to the internet for data collection and exchange. The rising prevalence of IoT technology across diverse industries and sectors amplifies the demand for precise location data, reinforcing the importance of GPS equipment. As a concrete example, DataProt, a cybersecurity solutions company based in Serbia, reported in May 2023 that there were over ten billion active IoT devices in use in 2021, with an estimated projection of 25.4 billion by 2030. This surge in IoT device adoption underscores the increasing reliance on GPS equipment, solidifying its role as an essential component within the IoT landscape and contributing to the growth of the GPS equipment market.

The growth of the GPS equipment market faces a potential hindrance due to security threats targeting GPS tracking applications. This vulnerability is attributed to the risk of hackers interfering with signals emitted by GPS equipment, presenting opportunities for unauthorized access and manipulation. Hackers could potentially disrupt the transmission signals, leading to various malicious actions such as tracking the positions of numerous vehicles, and even remotely switching off vehicle engines while in motion. This security concern was exemplified in a research study conducted by BitSight, a US-based cybersecurity ratings company, in September 2021. The study highlighted vulnerabilities, including password vulnerabilities in the MiCODUS API server (CVE-2022-2107) and faulty authentication (CVE-2022-2141), both with high CVSS scores. These vulnerabilities allowed remote attackers to send SMS commands to GPS trackers and track vehicles across multiple countries. Such vulnerabilities in GPS equipment pose complications for smooth operations and act as a deterrent to the growth of the GPS equipment market.

The integration of advanced software with GPS trackers has witnessed rapid development, contributing to the market's growth. The use of sophisticated software enables the delivery of real-time location data and enhances mapping capabilities. Advanced software integration allows GPS trackers to seamlessly integrate with resources such as Google Earth and facilitates predictive diagnosis. For instance, Trackem, a US-based platform for monitoring resources, supplies, and job progress, introduced its latest version of the GPS tracking platform in September 2022. This updated system features tools for tracking fuel bills, fleet-wide fuel usage, mileage analysis, and driver scorecards. Driver scorecards provide insights into driving habits, helping identify areas for improvement and training purposes. Additionally, the system includes a Maintenance area to assist fleet managers in staying current with vehicle repairs, optimizing fuel efficiency. The continuous development of enhanced GPS tracking solutions positively contributes to the overall growth of the market.

Major companies in the GPS equipment market are investing in the development of high-precision tracking devices. A notable example is Bad Elf LLC, a US-based computer hardware manufacturing company, which introduced the Bad Elf Flex Mini in July 2023. This innovative product is a high-precision Bluetooth GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver specifically designed for geospatial professionals. The Bad Elf Flex Mini offers various accuracy levels, including an extreme mode with RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) support, enabling sub-foot accuracy for diverse mapping requirements. The device supports multiple satellite constellations to ensure global coverage and establishes a connection with smartphones and tablets via Bluetooth. It boasts features such as a long-lasting battery, a rugged design, and a companion app compatible with both iOS and Android platforms. The Bad Elf Flex Mini aims to provide a cost-effective and user-friendly solution for collecting high-precision location data, particularly in challenging field conditions.
