Geospatial Analytics Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
The increasing adoption of geospatial data analytics in healthcare and insurance sectors is notably driving market growth, although factors such as data privacy and security concerns may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Geospatial Analytics Market Driver
The increasing adoption of geospatial data analytics in the healthcare and insurance sectors is notably driving the market growth. Evidence-based medicine heavily depends on geography and spatial relationships. For example, Dr. John Snow tracked cholera deaths caused by a contaminated water source in the Soho neighborhood of London in the 1840s using a map. This was the healthcare sector's first application of analytics. Geodata infrastructure is used in medical informatics to improve patient care and personal health. Tracking the water quality in major cities, examining a person's location information and exposure to chemicals, and visualizing the risk of heart disease and stroke are a few of the major applications.
Furthermore, global demand for geospatial data analytics solutions is also being driven by the growing applications of geospatial data analytics in mapping the infected areas (of the human body) and the rising popularity of medical tourism. Hence, such factors will boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Significant Geospatial Analytics Market Trends
The emergence of smart cities is an emerging trend in market growth. The term smart cities refer to the integration of various digital technologies that will improve communication between devices by enhancing their performance, lowering costs, and assisting in the efficient use of resources. End-users can respond to urban settlement challenges more quickly with the aid of smart cities. During the forecast period, there will be an increase in the number of smart cities. As a result, it is anticipated that the installed smart devices in these smart cities will generate a significant amount of data. In order to innovate for a better future with faster connectivity and provide prompt suggestion-based services, this data will need to be analyzed.
GIS is increasingly being used in the creation of smart cities. The goal of the smart city concept is to create a comprehensive system that makes use of geospatial data to comprehend the intricacies of urban systems as well as their effectiveness and security. The design of the urban digital model, data collection using the sensing layer, data analysis, interactive data presentation, and system control are a few of the many steps that go into putting smart city projects into action. GIS is essential to each of these procedures. GIS enables managers of smart cities to control urban operations through a popular and user-friendly digital platform. Thus, the rising development of smart cities will propel the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
Major Geospatial Analytics Market Challenge
Data privacy and security concerns are major challenges impeding market growth. As devices are connected via the internet and rely on the use of both private and public networks, data privacy and security issues are the main challenges for any organization. A highly secure environment must be created as important data is transferred through the system networks. A system network for an organization also includes a variety of devices, which occasionally may lead to interoperability problems.
Data breaches and cybersecurity problems have increased as a result of increased connectivity and data sharing. In the past, cybersecurity efforts were focused on a limited number of connected devices. The Internet of Things (IoT) revolution, however, will cause a significant blending of the real and virtual worlds. In comparison to the privacy breaches of personal data, the potential economic loss from cyberattacks on industries is substantial. Therefore, in an industrial setting, the risk of cyberattacks on the data gathered used sensors and devices is high. Such information can be accessed online and must go through authentication layers. Thus, these factors will adversely affect the growth of the global market during the forecast period.

The GPS segment was valued at USD 28.05 billion in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. The use of a GPS as a data input for a GIS is becoming more common, particularly for collecting field data and locating precise geospatial data. It is a satellite-based radio navigation system owned by the US government and run by the US Space Force and is also one of the geospatial data analytics technologies. It is a GNSS that enables the transmission of geolocation and time data to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unhindered line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. Thus, GPS technology is expected to help in the precise positioning of geospatial data, which will foster the demand for GPS technology in the global market during the forecast period.
