The geographic information system (GIS) market was valued at USD 5.33 Billion in 2016 and is expected to reach USD 10.12 Billion by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 9.6% between 2017 and 2023. Development of smart cities and urbanization, integration of geospatial technology with mainstream technologies for business intelligence, and growing adoption of GIS solutions in transportation are the key driving factors for the market.

Convergence and integration of geospatial technology with mainstream technologies such as analytical tools, database, & enterprise solutions (e.g., ERP and CRM) are considered one of the key drivers expanding the utility of geospatial analytics across various industries. Geospatial data collected from various sources are stored, processed, and analyzed to derive geographic information. The geospatial analyzed information is used for decision-making by various end users. The adoption of geospatial technology has further resulted in improved productivity and efficiency of enterprises across different sectors such as transportation, energy, mining, oil & gas, telecommunication, construction, agriculture, and business enterprises. For instance, real estate site selection, route selection, zoning, planning, conservation, and natural resource extraction involve the usage of geospatial analytics and geographic information system (GIS) solutions. Geospatial software and service providers can deploy more comprehensive solutions through technology convergence and integration with mainstream technologies.

APAC expected to grow at the highest rate between 2017 and 2023
