The geospatial solutions market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for geospatial solutions has experienced quick expansion in the past few years. The growth is expected to continue from $548.07 billion in 2024 to $617.84 billion in 2025, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.7%.
This significant growth during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing demand for location-based services (lbs), infrastructure progress, environmental surveillance and preservation, development of smart cities, and precision agriculture.
The geospatial solutions market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Experts anticipate remarkable expansion in the geospatial solutions market size in the years to come. With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.3%, the market is projected to accelerate to $1210.94 billion by 2029. Climate change monitoring, enhancements in global navigation satellite system (GNSS), and natural resource management contribute to this predicted growth during the forecast period. Evident trends during this period consist of the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), advancements in satellite technology, the application of geospatial analytics in business intelligence, the use of 5G connectivity for geospatial purposes, and indoor mapping and navigation.
The surge in studies related to earth and space, coupled with persistent investments in these research programs, is anticipated to fuel the geospatial solutions market expansion. To enhance local, national, and global crisis response abilities, as well as human health, safety, and welfare, governments globally are injecting funds into geospatial technologies. For example, as recorded by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis in June 2023, space-related economic activities in 2021 generated a gross output of $211.6 billion in the United States. This includes $129.9 billion, which makes up 0.6% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Moreover, this sector produced $51.1 billion in private industry remuneration and sustained roughly 360,000 jobs within that industry. Consequently, the continuous rise in earth and space research activities and sustained investment in these initiatives are predicted to stimulate the growth of the geospatial solutions market.
