GPS Precise Positioning Markets 2008-2012
Position One Consulting Pty Ltd, Sep 2008, Pages: 213
GPS Precise Positioning Markets 2008-12 includes details on the projected US$ 6-8 Billion value chain; starting with precision GPS infrastructure, continuing through the market for GPS receivers, finished GPS goods and concluding with GPS augmentation and distribution services. Markets covered include surveying, engineering, agriculture, mining, deformation monitoring, GIS, marine and aviation for both machine control and non-machine control applications for the time period 2008 through 2012.
The United States Global Positioning System (GPS) is being joined by additional satellite systems from Russia, EU, China, Japan and India to create a new era of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and an enhanced world-wide position, navigation and timing (PNT) utility.
Precise Positioning GNSS equipment capable of accuracies of less than 10cm are used in a steadily growing number of applications including land, marine and aerial surveying, structural monitoring of dams, bridges and buildings, earthquake/tsunami warning systems, atmospheric and meteorological research, space craft navigation and machine control systems for cargo handling, agricultural and earth moving equipment.
Suppliers of precision GNSS goods and services are a mix of established GPS companies such as Trimble Navigation (USA), new entrants such as Septentrio B.V. (EU) and large multi-nationals such as John Deere.
The global value of precision GNSS products and services is approximately US$3 Billion in 2008 and predicted to grow to a value of between US$6-8 Billion by 2012, a CAGR of 19-23%, although prolonged economic downturn in North America and Europe could see growth slow to a CAGR of 15-19%.
The period 2008-2012 will embrace a number of important milestones in the evolution of precision GNSS from a niche technology for scientists and surveyors to an essential productivity tool in globally important industrial sectors such as mining, agriculture and construction.
These milestones include the value of precision GNSS systems used for industrial applications such as machine control in agriculture and civil engineering exceeding that of precision GNSS for traditional uses such as surveying and science for the first time. During 2008-12, Machine Control applications for precision GNSS are forecast to grow at a CAGR of 23-28% whereas the growth in Non-machine Control applications is forecast at 16-21% CAGR.
The growth in the number of precision GNSS users (estimated at more than 300,000 globally in 2008) is encouraging government and the private sector to invest in precision GNSS infrastructure. This infrastructure uses GNSS reference stations and wireless communications to deliver a data service to multiple users removing the need for individual users to operate their own GNSS reference station. The growth of infrastructure and its associated data services will be a significant feature of the precision GNSS landscape in 2008-2012. Indeed, precision GNSS data services are forecast to be the fastest growing component of the value chain with a CAGR of 33-38%.
2008-2012 will also begin a transformation in the way that precision GNSS is delivered to users. Dual frequency (L1/L2) codeless and semi-codeless techniques have been the hallmark of precision GPS since the 1980’s. The advent of new satellite systems including Glonass (Russia) and Galileo (EU), GPS modernization and the introduction of new frequencies including L2C and L5, are expected to contribute to the development of novel techniques enabling precise positioning with less complexity and at a lower cost.
The steady shift in user demographics, continued evolution of space based systems and precise positioning techniques combined with the growth of dedicated precision GNSS infrastructure and associated services are a recipe for a dynamic and rapidly changing business environment.
Consolidation and integration of the supply chain for precision GNSS goods and services seen over the last decade is expected to continue. This has particular significance for both the precision GNSS OEM receiver suppliers and third party resellers both of whom are expected to contribute less to the overall value chain by 2012.
