APAC and Africa Emerging Markets for Geographic Information Systems
Established geographical information systems (GIS) players have been showing keen interest in the APAC and African markets. With the US markets slowing down, vendors are looking at alternate regions especially countries such as China, India and Kenya. Vendors hope to capitalize on the fact that these countries will require extensive GIS solutions for developmental planning. Several global players have begun increasing their workforce in these regions.
One of the most critical areas to be served by GIS is the oil and gas sector. This technology has been successfully aiding in the location of new mines overcoming geographic limitations. GIS has also been extensively used through satellites to detect the presence of oil wells and mines in places that are not easily accessible.
TechNavio’s analyst says, “With GIS systems being embedded in low cost mobile phones, the market share of portable navigation devices will be hit. Previously portable navigation devices were the largest users of GIS. This scenario is about to change. “
According to TechNavio, the geographic information systems market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.9 percent.
