[180 Pages Report] The Mobile Mapping Market size was estimated at USD 30.21 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 34.93 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 15.75% to reach USD 84.17 billion by 2030.
Mobile mapping is the process of gathering geospatial data with the use of mobile platforms such as cars, drones, maritime vessels, or even pedestrians. Advancements in geospatial technologies such as global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and photogrammetry techniques, alongside increasing penetration of smartphones with GPS capabilities, have accelerated the rise of mobile mapping. Growing demand for precise location-based services across different verticals coupled with supportive regulatory policies promoting accurate geodata collection contribute significantly to market expansion. However, high initial investment costs associated with advanced sensor systems, limited availability of skilled workforce proficient in spatial analysis, and data accuracy concerns impact product penetration. Market players are working on introducing cost-effective solutions with an improved focus on data integrity to enable better mobile mapping. The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms for automated geodata processing, predictive analytics, and intelligent decision-making presents another promising avenue for growth.
Product: Rising utilization of location-based services and GPS among individual smartphone users worldwide
3D mapping technology allows the creation of accurate, three-dimensional representations of real-world environments and is useful in industries such as urban planning, construction, and automotive navigation systems. Indoor mapping focuses on creating detailed digital maps of indoor spaces, such as shopping malls, airports, hospitals, and office buildings. Location-based services (LBS) use real-time geographic data from mobile devices to provide personalized services based on a user’s location. Support services in mobile mapping include data processing, maintenance, software integration services, training programs, and consultations.
Function: Expansive use of aerial mapping to gain accurate geospatial information in large-scale projects
Aerial mobile mapping involves capturing high-resolution aerial imagery and LiDAR data for various applications, such as urban planning, infrastructure management, and environmental monitoring. Emergency response planning relies on mobile mapping technology to gather real-time data during natural disasters or emergency situations. In facility management, mobile mapping facilitates the collection and analysis of spatial data related to building structures, utility systems, and asset management. Imaging services encompass the acquisition of high-resolution visual data through various sensors such as cameras or LiDAR scanners mounted on vehicles or drones. Internet applications utilize mobile mapping data to improve user experiences in navigation, location-based services (LBS), and augmented reality (AR).
