The geographic information system (GIS) market is expected to be worth 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 geospatial solutions in transportation are some of the major factors driving the growth of the market. The high cost of geospatial solutions and geographic data collection barriers poses major restraining factors for the growth of this market. The market has been segmented on the basis of component, function, end user, and geography.

GIS collectors held the largest share of the overall market in 2016. GIS collectors are used for collecting data related to shop floors or fields. Data collection is a real time and event-oriented process carried out by construction professionals. GIS collectors derive data manually from a computer or directly from the place of their origin. The collectors allow construction professionals to carry out accurate measurements such as site reconnaissance, progress measurement, and site inspection. Moreover, collectors help in spatial analysis for manipulating, extracting, locating, and analyzing the geographic data. GIS collectors are widely adopted for capturing, storing, recovering, analyzing, and displaying spatial data. GIS collector is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period due to increasing demand for data capturing and mapping in agriculture, construction, and utilities.

Mapping function held the largest share of the overall geographic information system (GIS) market in 2016. The use of mapping technologies has been growing rapidly in construction, infrastructure, defense and security, transportation, agriculture, forestry, and environment. Urban planning and smart city development program in developing countries such as India and China have contributed to the market growth of mapping function of GIS. The market is driven by the adoption of airborne devices and LIDAR imagery for collecting and mapping the data. GIS software is becoming an essential tool for combining maps and other geospatial information as it provides functions and tools to store, retrieve, manage, display, and analyze all types of geographic and spatial data.

The market for construction held the largest share of the GIS market in 2016. GIS plays an important role in mapping and surveying of construction sites and serves as a complete platform for infrastructure development life cycle. Urban planning and infrastructure development require accurate mapping and surveying of the geographic area. GIS can accurately assess construction projects such as a dam, bridge, sewer, canal, industrial park, water management, and power plant. Geospatial tools are integrated with computer-aided design (CAD) tools for civil engineering applications. The increasing urbanization and growing population have created an urge for the use of geospatial technologies for systematic and synchronized planning of land and other resources.

The APAC region is expected to be the fastest-growing region for the geographic information system (GIS) market. The use of GIS for transportation planning, highway and roadway management, forestry management, and precision farming is driving the growth of the market in this region. With the increasing infrastructural growth in various countries in APAC, GIS is expected to be implemented in smart city planning and urban development programs. China is investing heavily in infrastructure development and urban area planning. This investment in construction would drive the market for geospatial surveying devices such as GNSS receivers and GIS collectors. The growth of the market for construction in Japan is creating opportunities for geospatial technologies. With the emerging urban sector in India, there has been a huge demand for geospatial technologies that support various types of urban development projects.
