Geographic Information System Market Size

Global Geographic Information System Market size was valued at USD 11.2 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 12.22 billion in 2024 to USD 24.53 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period (2025-2032).

Increasing investment in urban infrastructure, such as smart city developments, and the increasing applications of the geographic information system (GIS) in defense, environmental management, geology, and disaster management are crucial drivers of the global geographic information system market growth.

In addition, the increased applications of GIS in different sectors and the establishment and implementation of advanced GIS systems globally are predicted to contribute to the growth of the market. Governments and the private sector are investing heavily in GIS technologies to rationalize operations, improve service delivery, and support sustainable development. For instance, in March 2024, Mauritius Central Water Authority (CWA) deployed Geographic Information System (GIS) technology developed by Esri across its departments and customer service operations. The application permitted smooth complaint-logging, identification of client location, and network mapping, which is to lead to efficient resource management and encourage decision-making. The GIS market is expanding due to its compatibility with other technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Its intersection supports real-time data collection and forecasting analytics, propelling demand in sectors. Geographic information system solutions have witnessed enormous growth in geospatial intelligence, pushing the boundaries of innovation in spatial mapping and data analysis. In addition, hardware and software advancements have enhanced the usability and accuracy of GIS tools. For instance, cloud-based GIS offers scalability and collaborative features, driving the industry's shift towards data-driven solutions.

How AI-Driven GIS Solutions are Enhancing Urban Infrastructure Development?

The intersection of geographic information systems and artificial intelligence will be poised to create new opportunities for the market. Top industry players are using artificial intelligence (AI) owing to advancements in technology. Moreover, the use of geospatial artificial intelligence, which leverages AI for collecting data from geographical data sets, has aided governments in developing smart cities and urban infrastructure.

• For instance, in October 2024, Esri, the GIS technology and location intelligence leader, and Autodesk, Inc., a worldwide building information modeling leader, are expanding their strategic alliance. This latest integration introduces Esri's authoritative geospatial reference data into Autodesk Forma to revolutionize early design and planning stages for AECO professionals.
