The Future of GPS….. COVID-19 & Its Impact….
The global positioning
systems (GPS) market size is
anticipated to reach USD 146.4 billion
by 2025, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc., exhibiting
a CAGR of 18.4% during the forecast period. Burgeoning popularity of
location-based services such as online food delivery and e-hailing services are
projected to create significant demand for GPS-enabled devices over the
forecast period. Furthermore, increasing use of GPS devices for navigation
purposes in military aircraft and navy ships is poised to propel the market.
In contrast to its related industries like
consumer electronics and semiconductors, the data center and communications
infrastructure industry is expected to be more buoyant with continued strategic
investments made to support the increased network traffic and data usage for
remote working during the lockdown phase. From school closures necessitating
students to use virtual offerings (Google Classroom ) to the governments using
business analytics services (Power BI) for communicating virus updates, the
demand for communication services and related infrastructure has witnessed an
unprecedented rise amidst the global pandemic. Digital services including
telemedicine are expected to remain popular even after the pandemic is
contained, thereby ensuring strong growth in the communication infrastructure
industry. The report will account for Covid19 as a key market contributor.
Global positioning systems are
satellite-based navigation systems that provide real-time location of objects.
GPS is widely used in a variety of civil applications, including road
transportation, shipping, rail transportation, heavy vehicle guidance,
surveying and mapping, social activities, and financial services. GPS
transmitters use data to provide exact location of the object. Moreover, a GPS
can work in any weather condition that makes it more versatile and reliable.
Among all application segments, the
location-based services and road segments are expected to be significant
revenue contributors in the global market during the forecast period owing to
increasing deployment of GPS technology in smartphones, tablets, networking
devices, IoT devices, and connected vehicles. Rising adoption of smartphones
and growing consumer inclination towards digital services such as online
retailing, cab services, and food at door steps are likely to spur the growth
of the market during the forecast period.

In addition, increasing investments by
large market players in developing countries such as China, India and Indonesia
are expected to boost overall adoption through partnership with local
suppliers. This will help the Asia Pacific market to gain traction over the
coming years. However, lack of network infrastructure and lack of awareness of GPS technology among
large population are estimated to hinder the growth of the market over the
forecast period.
Further key findings from the study suggest that:
·
North America accounted for the
largest market share in 2017 followed by Europe, owing to a large number of
smartphone users, high demand for GPS devices for connected fleets, and
presence of key market players
·
The Asia Pacific GPS market is
expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period on account of
increasing per capita expenditure, growing economy, and high adoption of
smartphones
·
The location-based services
application segment accounted for over 41.0% of the global GPS market in 2017
owing to a surge in the demand for GPS devices for navigation and travel,
retail and real estate searches, geo-social networking, and mobile marketing
and advertising purposes
·
Prominent market players are
focusing on undertaking mergers and acquisitions with system integrators to
increase their overall revenue share. Additionally, key players are continually
investing in development of new products to gain a higher market share
and increase their overall profitability
·
Military expenditure by
governments of countries such as the U.S., Russia, China, India, and Saudi
Arabia is projected to rise significantly, thus fueling the growth of the
global GPS market over the forecast period.
The
global positioning systems (GPS) market size was estimated at USD 37.9 billion
in 2017. It is anticipated to progress at a CAGR of 18.4% during the forecast
period. Increasing penetration of smartphones along with rising GPS-enabled
vehicles is projected to bolster the growth of the market during the forecast
period. Moreover, surging use of social media across developing countries and a
high number of mergers and acquisitions between component manufacturers and
integrators are poised to stoke the growth of the global positioning systems
market.
Nowadays,
global positioning system has become a common tool used for navigation. The
past couple of years have witnessed a rise in use of GPS-enabled smartphones.
Growing adoption of e-hailing services across the globe is further likely
escalate the demand for GPS-enabled smartphones. The system used in road
applications provides various benefits to customers, including ease of
traveling and accurate monitoring of operations and assets. Increasing smart
mobility applications, such as navigation, fleet management, satellite road
traffic monitoring, and several others, are expected to propel the market over
the forecast period.
Prominent
GPS component manufacturers such as Qualcomm Inc.; Hexagon AB; Broadcom Inc.;
Trimble Navigation Limited; MiTAC Digital Technology Corporation (Navman);
TomTom N.V; Rockwell Collins Inc.; Texas Instruments Inc.; Garmin Ltd.; and Mio
Technology Corporation are estimated to make significant investments in R&D
activities. The strategy is anticipated to help them in developing new innovative
products, solutions, and augmented services, which will consolidate their
position in the global arena.
Besides,
mergers and acquisitions between component manufacturers and system integrators
are projected to help GPS market players capture a high revenue share and
increase overall profitability over the coming years. For instance, in June
2018, Hexagon AB acquired AutonomouStuff, LLC, a U.S.-based autonomous vehicle
solutions provider, to deliver advanced autonomous vehicle solutions with the
help of its GPS products.
