Rising Government Sector Demand Drives Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) Market Growth

ARC Advisory Group’s research on the Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) market indicates that one of the key factors propelling the market is rising demand from the government sector at all levels. Numerous local, state, and federal governments as well as military organizations are increasing their investments in GIS technology to improve their infrastructure and security. Government authorities are realizing the importance of accounting for assets that affect citizens, cities, and other entities. With GIS technology, governments can geographically assess assets quickly and efficiently.

Geospatial Information Systems Strategic Issues and Market Trends

Geographic Information Systems 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.

Use Analytics Driven by "Visualization" of Information

As the saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words”, and it carries over to data analytics and the new world of Big Data. There is a massive amount of data out there that needs to be analyzed, and the best way to view and analyze this data is with a GIS solution, which is quick and accurate. In this scenario, the data or information can be seen as data points on a map that can be processed by GIS, that delivers a visual representation of the data.

Integrate GIS and Building Information Modeling    

Building information modeling (BIM) is a process that involves creating and using an intelligent 3D model to inform and communicate building project decisions. Design, visualization, simulation, and collaboration enabled by BIM solutions provide greater clarity for all stakeholders across the project lifecycle. It is logical, and the timing is right for BIM and GIS to be integrated. The most critical factor preventing a more robust integration between BIM and GIS is the native incompatibility of the two data formats. A critical data integration fracture between BIM and GIS is the importance of defining spatial coordinates of the BIM file at the beginning of the project.

GIS Has Gone Mainstream    

GIS is a technology that was once considered too specialized to fall within the domain of the information science department. However, it has now become just another application in mainstream IT. A sure indicator of this trend is that most of the GIS software providers have web-enabling tools already available. Also, users no longer need to be specialists to work with or use GIS. A few small companies have already started to offer the ability to conduct complex spatial queries with enterprise data through a web interface. These companies host data and even combine it with other third-party data resources. As GIS becomes mainstream, the number of business users is likely to grow in the coming years.
