The geographic information system market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $15.86 billion in 2025 to $18.17 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of digital mapping adoption, increasing use of spatial data in planning, expansion of satellite imagery availability, demand for location based analysis, rising infrastructure development projects.
The geographic information system market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $31.87 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to smart city initiatives expansion, growing adoption of cloud gis solutions, rising demand for real time location intelligence, increased use of gis in climate monitoring, integration of gis with enterprise analytics platforms. Major trends in the forecast period include cloud based gis platforms, real time spatial data visualization, mobile gis adoption, integration of remote sensing data, enterprise wide gis deployment.
The increasing use of smartphones is anticipated to drive the growth of the geographic information system market in the coming years. Smartphones are mobile devices that integrate telecommunication features with advanced computing capabilities, internet connectivity, and a variety of applications. Their rising adoption is fueled by greater affordability and availability, providing wider access to mobile connectivity and digital services. Geographic information systems (GIS) on smartphones enable the collection, analysis, and visualization of location-based data for navigation, mapping, and real-time decision-making. For example, in February 2023, the GSM Association (GSMA), a UK-based industry organization representing mobile network operators and companies, reported that smartphone penetration in sub-Saharan Africa is expected to increase substantially, reaching 87% by 2030, up from 51% in 2022. As a result, the expanding adoption of smartphones is boosting the geographic information system market.
Major companies in the geographic information system market are focusing on developing innovative products to enhance their market presence. For example, in August 2023, SuperMap Software Co. Ltd., a China-based provider of geographic information system software and services, introduced SuperMap iDesigner3D, a streamlined WebApp built on SuperMap iClient3D for WebGL and deployed via the portal software framework SuperMap iPortal. SuperMap iDesigner3D allows users to batch-create 3D models of buildings, roads, and pathways that align with the geospatial environment to meet online 3D geographic design requirements. It leverages vector data and modeling rules to enable online batch modeling using real geographic contexts. The platform supports modification and adjustment of modeling attributes and materials and can update edits electronically in real-time, greatly enhancing data editing efficiency.
In February 2023, NV5 Global Inc., a US-based technical engineering and consulting solutions provider, acquired Axim Geospatial LLC, a GIS professional services provider, for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances NV5 Global Inc.'s position as a leading provider of geospatial utility solutions and expands its presence in federal defense and intelligence sectors.
