The global digital map market size is anticipated to reach around US$ 46,400 Mn by 2027 growing at a CAGR of around 16% in terms of revenue during the forecast period 2020 to 2027.

A digital map network is a computer map that is planned primarily for a specific road, region or geographic position. Digital mapping technology is commonly used in the automobile and internet-enabled smartphone industries to promote business expansion. The increased worldwide use of geospatial information fuels digital maps market.

Market Insights

The major drivers such as increasing adoption of digital maps in sectors such as defense, automotive, and media & entertainment that is likely to boost the growth of the digital map market. Geospatial technology has raised the need for digital maps over the years, using this technology in applications such as network maintenance, risk and disaster management, strategic planning, property management and logistics. Furthermore, technical advancement in the area of feature development and mapping applications further enables digital maps to be adopted. Increased investment in technical advancements by vendors coupled with the growing use of digital maps will encourage business growth in the projected timeframe. However, over the projected period a high degree of data collection spending will impede business development. Growing competition from developing markets and expanded adoption by small and medium-sized businesses are projected to generate more possibilities for development for future years.

The data storage which allows automated communications is focused on cloud technologies. Most automated mapping approaches are stable, and the geographic information system (GIS) developers and practitioners like the application program interface (API) due to associated data is stored in the cloud. In fact, the introduction of cloud-based systems offers significant cost savings compared with internal computing. In order to handle large volumes of geospatial information generated by GPS, GIS and remote sensing technology, the public sector organizations have embraced cloud computing. Big data is also an important component of digital maps, as many organizations are using analytical big data models, allowing them to develop approaches in their regional operations. This is used by the public sector to develop emergency management strategies and used by natural resource managers to assess wetland regeneration following an emergency.
