Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global GIS market in the transportation industry to grow at a CAGR of around 12% between 2016 and 2020. The ability of GIS systems to gather, organize, display, and analyze information has made it a necessary tool for the transportation industry. The primary use of GIS in the transportation industry is for traffic management through real-time traffic data based on location and in the construction of new road networks based on traffic requirements. It is aided by techniques such as transport telematics and intelligent transportation systems for solving traffic issues. GIS helps traffic monitoring agencies to map factors like width and structure of the road and ongoing construction works and subsequently manage the traffic. With the growing need for road and rail construction in the transportation sector, the market for GIS will witness massive growth during the forecast period.
Vendors in the GIS market are offering customized GIS applications as per the industry requirements. They are also developing application-specific GIS solutions, which are in high demand among retailers as they are more cost-effective than the general purpose GIS solutions. For instance, TransCAD, a GIS software developed by Caliper Corporation, is designed to manage, analyze, and display displaying transportation data. The software also integrates GIS with transportation modeling to form a single platform. Also, many vendors are offering 3D GIS software in the market to improve the operational efficiency of security applications.
The global GIS market in the transportation industry is characterized by the presence of well-diversified international, regional, and local vendors. Though the key vendors dominate this market, some local and regional vendors offer various GIS software, data, and services at a relatively lower cost than their global counterparts. The competitive environment in this market will intensify in the coming years with the increase in service extensions, technological innovations, and M&As. Also, international players are anticipated to grow inorganically during the forecast period by acquiring regional or local players.
