A geographic information system (GIS) is a system developed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographical data. GIS software contains additional tools compared to a relational database. It provides tools and functions to input and store spatial data or geographic data. It facilitates users to perform geographic query, run analysis model and display geographic data in the map form. It enables quick access to relevant location specific data for making informed business decisions, which is projected to boost the market growth.

Increase in adoption of GIS for facilities management, integration of GIS with mainstream technologies for business intelligence, growth in demand of GIS software for smart cities development, and urban planning are some of the major factors that drive the growth of the global GIS software market. In addition, increase in investment by the enterprises on GIS solutions and adoption of GIS in transportation sector are expected to fuel the growth of the market. Conversely, emerging trend of adopting cloud-based GIS and growing application of AR and VR technologies in geographic information system are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of the global market.
