Report Outlook

The global location analytics market size is expected to value at USD 10,813.6 million in 2019 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 15.8% during the forecast period. Globally, there is increasing realization that by accumulating geographical location to business data and mapping it, organizations can intensely improve their insights into tabular data. The geographic data and spatial analytics has helped the progressive organizations to achieve powerful results and enhance their business capabilities. Based on this, several industry analysts suggest that demand for mapping and geographic intelligence is emerging as an important segment of the location analytics solution. Furthermore, increasing penetration of Internet of Things (IoT) and growing volume of spatial data across several industrial sectors are largely enhancing the adoption of location analytics worldwide.

Growing usage and application of spatial data and analytical tools, increasing necessity for predictive analytics in business applications, increasing adoption of location-based applications and tools among users, increasing adoption of innovative technologies, and rising penetration of social media for customer engagement are the crucial factors driving the growth of the industry across the globe. However, high initial cost of deployment, concerns with data privacy and legal worries, and deficiency of uniform regulatory norms, are some of the factors likely to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Solution Outlook

Based on solution, the market is segmented into geocoding and reverse geocoding, data integration and ETL, reporting and visualization, thematic mapping and spatial analysis, and others. The geocoding and reverse geocoding segment is expected to dominate the global industry in 2019 however, the data integration and ETL segment is projected to grow at a highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is primarily attributed to increasing amount of data generated in various industry verticals and growing need for data integration in order to derive required conclusions. Furthermore, large number of companies are focusing on developing and launching new and improved analytic tools for reporting and visualization purposes. For instance,

  • In October 2018, Hexagon’s Safety & Infrastructure division launched Intergraph InSight, a new suite of public safety data visualization and analytics software that supports evidence-based reporting, analysis and decision making.

Location Type Outlook

Based on location type, the market is segmented into indoor and outdoor locations. The indoor location analytics held a largest share in the global industry based on increasing adoption of connected devices, and increasing demand for the indoor location analytics to enhance the lean automation and robotics processes. Rise in smartphones users and ineffective GPS (Global Positioning System) technology in indoor premises are the factors driving the market growth. In September 2017, MOCA launched Dynamic Heatmap for Indoor Location Analytics using Wi-Fi devices.

Application Outlook

On the basis of application, the global location analytics market is segmented into risk management, emergency response management, customer experience management, remote monitoring, supply chain planning and optimization, sales and marketing optimization, predictive assets management, inventory management, and others. The sales and marketing optimization segment is expected to dominate the global industry in 2019 and is also projected to maintain its dominant position during the forecast period. This growth is highly driven as analytics and big data, in general, can be helpful when it comes to deploying a more sophisticated marketing and sales strategy.

Regional Outlook

North America is expected to dominate the industry due to consistent growth in the retail market, increasing adoption of analytical business intelligence and geographic information systems technology and also, the increasing focus on the needs of customers and customer satisfaction.
