The global mobile mapping market size is estimated to reach USD 15.74 billion in 2024 and USD 34.48 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 16.99% during the forecast period.
The procedure for collecting geospatial information using mapping sensors on shifting platforms, such as marine vessels, cars, and aircraft, is referred to as mobile mapping. These systems use the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNS) software I, in addition to the INS (Inertial Navigation Systems), to allow accurate and quick computation of the non-stop altitude, 3D position, and attitude (pitch, yaw, and roll) of the aircraft.
A stable spending flow for product development and research efforts in the mobile mapping segment has been a significant boost to the market. As a result of the growing interest in mobile mapping applications by big technology companies, it is expected to be a big booster for the global market in the coming years.
The growth of the logistics and transport segment is also expected to be a key driver for the market's future. Mobile mapping provides significant advantages in these areas, where it can be used to track live goods, reducing the chances of the item being lost. The steady push of the automotive industry towards technically refined vehicles is also expected to help the market, given that the increasing amalgamation of mobile phone connectivity in automotive design has allowed an increase in demand for the market.
