Location-based Services Market by Component, Technology (GNSS, GPS), Application (Navigation, Tracking), Location Type, End-use Industry (Government and Public Sector, Transportation & Logistics, Smart Cities), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2031
Report ID: MRICT - 104565 Pages: 393 Mar-2024 Formats*: PDF Category: Information and Communications Technology Delivery: 2 to 4 Hours Download Free Sample ReportThe Location-based Services Market is projected to reach $327.6 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 15.9% During 2024–2031. The growth of the global location-based services market is driven by the increasing use of spatial data and analytics across industries, the proliferation of location-based services in the retail sector, and the surging use of location-based services in the agriculture sector. However, dynamic government rules and regulations for location-based services restrain the growth of this market.
Furthermore, constant upgrades in mapping and navigation solutions and the growing demand for wearable devices are generating growth opportunities for the stakeholders in this market. However, the high costs of procuring and implementing location-based services are a major challenge impacting the growth of the location-based services market. Additionally, the use of 5G technology for improved real-time analysis and the development of GIS software using Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies are prominent trends in this market.
The agriculture sector holds tremendous growth potential for the providers of location-based services due to the proliferation of precision farming technologies, including GPS and GIS-based systems, drones, and autonomous equipment. Additionally, tractor guidance systems equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS), GPS-enabled soil and yield mapping, and variable-rate input apps that provide farmers with real-time insights are also some of the prominent applications of location-based services. With the integration of IoT, 5G, and AI, location-based services enable farmers to increase yields, get real-time data about environmental temperature and water content, and improve decision-making on harvesting times, crop prices, and soil management. Also, the agriculture sector is adopting crop scouting solutions to enable aerial data collection for trial plots to investigate crop conditions and homogeneity and overcome cloud obstruction issues through satellite observations.
The providers of location-based services are focusing on integrating technologies such as VRT with existing solutions to enhance the monitoring and mapping of agricultural parameters. Farmers are creating variable rate (VRT) application maps for fertilizing and other crop production operations. Additionally, the integration of real-time weather and climate data with location-based services allows farmers to make informed decisions based on current conditions. Several providers of location-based services are focused on launching solutions for farmers. For instance, in February 2023, AQUAOSO Technologies, PBC (U.S.) launched Agcor, a suite of software tools for modern ag lenders. The software is purpose-built by and for agricultural lenders to unlock the power of location-based data across the marketing, loan application, appraisal, reporting, and collateral management processes.
The growing implementation of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), big data analytics, IoT sensor technologies, and drone imagery, and increasing government initiatives to promote location-based services for precision agriculture are driving the growth of this market.
