It also includes an in-depth analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges. Furthermore, the report includes historic market data from 2017 to 2021.

Market Dynamics and Customer Landscape

The market is driven by the need for geographic locations and real-time data integration in telecommunications infrastructure. Key trends include the rise of smart city planning and smart infrastructure planning, driving demand for geospatial technology. However, challenges such as high cost, geospatial data barriers, and complexity hinder market growth. Telecom companies are addressing these challenges through software solutions, integration, and interoperability enhancements. The market's future hinges on overcoming these geospatial data barriers while leveraging GIS technologies for improved enterprise solutions and infrastructure management. 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 Market Driver

The increased use of GIS for capacity planning is notably driving the market growth in the telecom sector. Telecom companies are continuously leveraging the rising demand for mobile phones and the Internet globally. They are providing a wide range of services to increase their customer base. The telecom industry in urban areas is saturated, and the competition is intense. Hence, many companies are focusing on rural areas, where the demand is rising because of the increase in the literacy rate and relatively low competition.

Moreover, capitalizing on the rural market requires precise planning by companies. Geographic information systems provide telecom service providers with information about market segmentation and consumer usage patterns. It is used extensively to create a communication network structure after making precise projections of the future communication demand in the area or region. The geographic information system also facilitates effective decision-making by using the existing network structure and network performance.

Significant Market Trend

The use of GIS and big data is the primary trend driving the market growth in the telecom sector. The use of GIS data along with big data and big data analytics has led to a new way of analyzing massive volumes of cluttered data to get meaningful and useful insights from the data. ESRI, a geographic information system provider, has built GIS tools for Hadoop. These tools help in using the Hadoop framework for the analysis of spatial data. It is open-source software for big spatial data analysis. 

Moreover, geographic information system tools for Hadoop are used to study the impact of driver carpooling based on an analysis of data from automobile GPS devices. Places with the highest number of trips with similar origin and destination locations were considered for the study. The data included 40 million vehicle position records collected on a single day by GPS devices. The data included longitude, latitude, date, speed, and time. The Hadoop MapReduce framework was used for distributed parallel computation for analyzing a vast number of data sets.

Significant Market Challenge

The communication gap between developers and end-users is the major challenge impeding the market growth in telecom sector. A GIS database is developed by technicians and geographic information system experts with no or minimal input from the public. However, it is important for users to be involved in developing GIS applications. GIS end-users blindly accept the information and analysis provided by geographic information systems. Checking the authenticity of the information provided by GIS systems is difficult because of the complexity of the technology.

Moreover, one of the technological limitations of GIS is the difficulty in defining real-world objects in a way that a computer understands. Geographic information systems finalize information based on a selective process by eliminating any information that does not fit the selection criteria. The complexity of the technology and technological limitations of GIS are major challenges to the growth of GIS and hence the market.
