Meticulous Research®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled, Asia-Pacific Location-based Services Market by Component, Technology (GNSS, GPS), Application (Navigation, Mapping & GIS), Location Type, End-use Industry (Transportation & Logistics, Retail & E-commerce), and Geography -Forecast to 2031.’
According to this latest publication from Meticulous Research®, the Asia-Pacific location-based services market is projected to reach $118.2 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 17.3% from 2024–2031.The growth of the Asia-Pacific location-based services is driven by the proliferation of location-based services in the retail sector and the surging use of location-based services in the agriculture sector. However, dynamic government rules and regulations for location-based services restrain the growth of this market. Furthermore, constant upgrades in mapping and navigation solutions are expected to generate growth opportunities for the players operating in this market. However, the high costs of procuring and implementing location-based services are a major challenge impacting market growth. Additionally, the use of 5G technology for improved real-time analysis and the development of GIS software using augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) technologies are prominent trends in this market.
The Asia-Pacific location-based services market is segmented by component (platforms/solutions [location-powered mobile apps, location intelligence platforms, and location-based messaging] and professional services [mapping services, implementation & support, and consulting & development services]), technology (global navigation satellite system, global positioning system [assisted GPS and enhanced GPS], Wi-Fi, near-field communication, and other technologies), applications (navigation [smart parking, route planning, and other navigation applications], geo-marketing & advertising/target marketing, mapping & GIS, tracking [valuables & stolen goods tracking, pet tracking, parolees tracking, and child tracking], social networking [chat & instant messaging services, dating apps, and friend locator apps], infotainment, commercial applications, and other applications), location type (outdoor and indoor), end-use industry (government & public sector, transportation & logistics, smart cities, retail & E-commerce, consumer goods, media & entertainment, travel & tourism, BFSI, IT & telecom, healthcare, hospitality, aerospace & defense, energy & utilities, automotive, agriculture, education, and manufacturing), and country/region. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyses the market at the country and regional levels.
