This in-depth market data research is split into two key modules: Market Growth Outlook and Competitive Analysis. Each of these modules is further configured into several sub-modules to meet the needs of executives as well as marketing, sales, and product development managers. All of these modules and sub-modules may be purchased as a bundle or separately. A brief description of these modules, sub-modules, and their use cases is included below.
The Geospatial Information Systems Market Research delivers current market analysis plus a five year market and technology forecast. The research also takes a closer look at upcoming market and technology trends and automation systems related to GIS. It is available in multiple editions including worldwide, all regions, and most major countries.
Geospatial Information Systems Market Growth Driven by Demand for Mobile Applications
ARC Advisory Group’s research reveals that the Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) market is on the upswing due to widespread mobile applications. The proliferation of mobile devices is impacting every industry and application, and the continued development of mobile devices has a positive impact on the GIS market. Mobile devices, especially smartphones, have proliferated like no other electronic device before, and they are ideally suited to cloud GIS applications. They can also be used if there is a Wi-Fi network or cellular data with internet available. With a mobile device, the field workforce can use maps, add validity to data, record observations, and respond to events, which in turn could improve the efficiency of the field workforce and the accuracy of GIS.
Geospatial Information Systems Strategic Issues and Market Trends
In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the GIS Market Research Report provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.
Move GIS to the Cloud
With everything heading toward the cloud, such as documents, images, contacts, calendars, presentations, articles, and accounts, the shift of GIS toward the cloud seems logical and correct. Most of the leading GIS vendors have developed cloud GIS solutions or are certainly thinking about it, and a growing number of private GIS companies are al so watching this space very closely.Some of the advantages of cloud GIS include:
- Data that can be accessed via any internet connection, anytime, anywhere.
- Distribution of data, analysis, and systems for remote users is very simple.
- Cloud GIS allows data captured in real or near real-time to be displayed directly onto the system. There are also many successful applications where data has been captured by the public and verified by the users. One such success story is open street maps.
The need to have dedicated GIS administrators and IT staff will be reduced as they can be outsourced to the cloud GIS hosting organization.
Integrate Geospatial Information Systems with Sensor Networks
Geospatial information systems are being integrated with sensor networks that precisely measure real-time changes, such as temperature, soil moisture, water flows, microclimates, plant growth, and other conditions. These sensor networks are being connected directly into GIS, such as the hydrologic information system developed by the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) and sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation. This has a major impact on natural resource management, but its application is being tested across a number of other industry sectors, including water and wastewater.
Adoption of Geoengineering
GIS products are no longer restricted to spatial management or location data management. To maximize opportunities in regions that are ramping up infrastructure development, some major vendors are enhancing their offerings to support engineering projects, involving themselves in even the design and construction phases.
