The rising applications of GIS solutions in disaster management are notably driving the market. The use of GIS solutions across various systems, such as forest fire management, flood management, climate change analyses, and carbon management, has made GIS technology an effective tool in disaster management. The technology provides data on the geography, and any changes or deviations in the typical data will lead to an inspection by experts. Hence, the government sector and the natural resources sector are heavily dependent on this technology for disaster management.
For instance, the GIS applications of forest fire management, including fire risk assessment, prescribed burn planning, forest fire simulation, and post-fire assessment and monitoring, help in simulating a forest fire. The application takes into consideration the fire-starting point, topography, and vegetation coverage using remote sensing and the wind flow velocity, which directs accordingly. Therefore, the use of modern technologies for disaster management and the increasing use of GIS solutions in such technologies are expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
Rising demand for the miniaturization of technologies is a major trend. The integration of GIS software is increasing the need to create smaller, inexpensive devices with wireless connectivity, thereby expanding the penetration of the IoT. The development of miniaturized, low-cost sensors is leading to an increase in data collection and the ability to adjust the sensor to specific data collection needs.
Furthermore, the rapid miniaturization of GIS technology has made it feasible to explore new methods for sensor distribution. For instance, Smallsat and UAS can be rapidly deployed with a tailored flight path. These miniaturized geospatial sensor platforms enhance the capabilities of both government and business organizations, especially in collecting volumes of remotely sensed critical data, including that related to disaster response, environmental monitoring, and public safety. Thus, the rising demand for the miniaturization of technologies is one of the growing trends that is expected to drive growth during the forecast period.
Data privacy and security concerns are major challenges. Data privacy and security concerns are the key challenges in any organization as devices are interconnected to the internet and dependent on the use of private and public networks. As critical data is transferred through organizations' system networks, a highly secured environment needs to be established. Moreover, an organization's system network includes multiple devices, which at times may cause interoperability issues.
Increased connectivity and data sharing have led to more cybersecurity issues and data breaches. Earlier, cybersecurity was concentrated on a limited number of connected devices. However, due to the IoT revolution, there will be a large-scale combination of both physical and virtual worlds. Potential economic loss from cyberattacks in industries is significant compared with the privacy breaches of personal data. Therefore, cyberattacks can hamper the sensor and device data in an industrial setup. Thus, the possibility of cyber intrusion will adversely affect during the forecast period.
