Global Geographic Information System Market by Offering (Hardware, Services, Software), Function (Location-Based Services, Mapping, Surveying), End-User - Forecast 2023-2030

The Geographic Information System Market size was estimated at USD 11.49 billion in 2022, USD 12.64 billion in 2023, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.32% to reach USD 25.21 billion by 2030.

A geographic information system (GIS) is an integrated framework that allows for the management, analysis, and visualization of spatial and geographic data. GIS is an amalgamation of cartography, statistical analysis, and database technology. This system is employed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present various types of geographical information. GIS constitutes hardware, software, data, and human expertise. Hardware such as the computers on which GIS software runs and GPS devices used for data collection. The software provides tools for mapping, spatial querying, and statistical analysis of data. As businesses and government agencies realize the value of geographically contextualized information, the reliance on GIS grows. Additionally, increased investments in infrastructure and urban planning, particularly in emerging economies, are going to propel the demand for GIS solutions. However, the high initial cost of GIS solutions can be prohibitive for small businesses and emerging economies. Data privacy and security concerns stemming from storing and handling geospatial data pose significant challenges. The complexity of integrating GIS with existing systems and ensuring interoperability among different technologies can impede the adoption of GIS. Furthermore, technological advancements, such as real-time data analysis, the Internet of Things, and cloud computing, further provide substantial opportunities by enhancing GIS capabilities. Autonomous and connected vehicles represent a burgeoning segment, relying on high-precision maps and spatial data for navigation.
