The key functions of GIS are location-based services, mapping, surveying, and telematics and navigation. The demand for GIS has been the highest for mapping in the past, owing to the high urbanization rate in developed and developing countries. The need for urban planning applications, such as urban growth assessment, land acquisition, land zone classification, environment impact analysis, and water quality management, is increasing rapidly across the globe.

Other than this, the demand for software components is also projected to be high in the coming years, because of the rising requirement for integrating analytics tools, mapping field operations, and displaying and mapping geographic information through reports and dashboards.

Mobile, developer, server, desktop, and remote sensing are the major software components, out of which, the requirement for mobile-based GIS is expected to be significantly high. The focus towards the integration of next-generation technologies, such as machine learning and cloud computing, is predicted to drive the demand for mobile-based GIS.

Geographically, North America emerged as the largest GIS market during 2014–2019, as the system is being used widely by government organizations and healthcare professionals. In addition to this, the swift adoption of GIS for mapping solutions to manage battlefield operations, gather intelligence, monitor possible terror activities, and analyze terrain is also leading to the growth of the regional industry. Other than this, the demand for GIS is predicted to rise in Asia-Pacific as well in the coming years.
