Business Impacts of COVID-19 on GIS Market | Strategies of Major Industry Competitors

GIS vendors offer services (managed and professional), hardware, data, and software. As GIS data is extensively used for routing, modeling, mapping, reporting, and geocoding, its demand is expected to be the highest in the coming years. In addition to this, GIS data is in high demand for regional literacy mapping applications in emerging economies, including Mexico, India, Brazil, and China. 




Moreover, GIS is registering a high demand from the water & wastewater sector, on account of the strict government regulations, including Water Law of the People’s Republic of China and America’s Water Infrastructure Act 2018, for providing safe drinking water in major countries. The smart city project projects of China, where GIS is being utilized in development and planning, are further predicted to make APAC the fastest growing GIS market in the coming years.

The demand for GIS for mapping is further projected to increase in developing countries, for utilization in urban planning applications, such as classification of land zone, water quality management, land acquisition, and environment impact and urban growth assessment. Apart from the defense & aerospace sector, industries which utilize GIS include healthcare, oil & gas exploration, telecommunications, water & wastewater, oil & gas refining, government, transportation & logistics, and engineering & business services. 

The government sector made the most use of GIS in the past, due to the fact that the governments of Canada and the U.S. are using the tool for analyzing food production sources, in order to eradicate hunger. In addition to this, the mapping of environmental degradation and climate changes is also being carried out for reporting and monitoring the changes. The utilization of GIS is projected to grow significantly in both North America and Asia-Pacific (APAC) in the near future, due to the increasing investments in GIS-based infrastructure by governments in both the regions.

Hence, the adoption of GIS is increasing in the defense sector and for mapping applications.
