The geospatial industry in 2024 is rapidly innovating advanced technologies to
help companies do more and be more accurate with their data. To gauge where
the technology is headed and how geospatial professionals are using existing
tech, Trimble conducted a comprehensive survey recently of geospatial users and
businesses worldwide.
The survey results, and input from additional Trimble industry experts, can help
you align your business and its offerings to capitalize on the industry's current
state and likely future iterations.
Data leads the way
The top takeaway is that now, more accurate data is being collected from more
sources, and more complete information is required than ever before. This data
revolution is a powerful multiplier, fueling growth across the geospatial industry as
well as in the surrounding ecosystem of industries that use the data.
Business stakeholders at every level benefit from increased insight, better decision-
making and more efficient ways of working by taking advantage of the deep
connection of the physical and digital worlds. The geospatial industry will continue
to impact the way the world uses data in new ways we are only starting to explore.
Industry growth
Significant growth is forecasted in the global
geospatial market, and is predicted to more than
double by 2030.
And in the short term, the total economic impact of
geospatial tech on the global economy is expected
to reach $10.2 trillion in 2025.
