DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "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 has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The location-based services market is projected to reach $327.6 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 15.9% during the forecast period 2024-2031

The report provides an in-depth analysis of the location-based services market across countries/regions and emphasizes on the current market trends, market sizes, market shares, recent developments, and forecasts till 2031.

The growth of the 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.

Asia-Pacific is expected to account for the largest share of the location-based services market. The large share of this regional market is mainly attributed to factors such as the high penetration of mobile devices, a strong customer base for consumer solutions, and the rising deployments of map-based platforms across Chinese organizations. Also, this market is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

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.

In 2024, the platforms/solutions segment is expected to account for the larger share of the location-based services market. The segment's large share is attributed to market players' increasing focus on launching location-based solutions, the increasing popularity of location-powered mobile apps, the growing need for location intelligence platforms to analyze and visualize geographic and location-based data, and the increasing adoption of location-based messaging platforms among consumers. Also, this segment is projected to register the higher CAGR during the forecast period.

In 2024, the global navigation satellite system segment is expected to account for the largest share of the location-based services market. The segment's large market share is attributed to the diverse applications of GNSS, including precise positioning and real-time location tracking. Additionally, the growing demand for location-based advertising and the increasing need for GNSS in asset management also contribute to the significant market share of this segment. Additionally, this segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on application, the location-based services market is segmented into navigation, geo-marketing & advertising/target marketing, mapping & GIS, tracking, social networking, commercial applications, infotainment, and other applications. In 2024, the navigation segment is expected to account for the largest share of the location-based services market. The segment's large market share is attributed to the rapid implementation of comprehensive navigation solutions by automakers and increasing initiatives by leading LBS players to develop automotive navigation services. Moreover, this segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

In 2024, the outdoor segment is expected to account for the larger share of the location-based services market. The segment's large market share is attributed to the rising demand for location-based services for outdoor applications, including navigation and mapping, asset tracking, and outdoor proximity marketing, and the increasing deployment of LBS, particularly for automotive and pet tracking applications.

In 2024, the government & public sector segment is expected to account for the largest share of the location-based services market. The segment's large market share is attributed to government & public sector organizations' growing use of location intelligence tools for tracking and planning and governments' increasing need for risk management and monitoring and securing national borders.

However, the retail & e-commerce segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is driven by the rising need for location-based data for targeted marketing campaigns, the increasing popularity of location-based survey and feedback collection tools, the growing usage of retail asset management tools, and the increasing need for supply chain management in the retail sector.
