India: Geospatial Media and Communications announces the release of the 2nd edition of its comprehensive research report titled GeoBuiz 2018 Report (previously known as The Global Geospatial Industry Outlook). The report is presented in two complementing parts – the Global Geospatial Industry Outlook and the Countries Geospatial Readiness Index 2018. The Global Geospatial Industry Outlook captures the global size, growth and value impact of the global geospatial industry till 2020. It estimates that the geospatial industry is projected to reach US$ 439.2 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 13.6% owing to increasing democratization of geospatial information and its integration with IT. The report also highlights that the embedment of geospatial technologies creates an economic impact on the global GDP at 20% CAGR. Furthermore, the report provides detailed growth estimates of the four key segments of the geospatial industry – GNSS and Positioning, GIS/Spatial Analytics, Earth Observation, and 3D Scanning. For each industry segment, key industry trends, market size, technology drivers, benefits and challenges, and innovations are presented to provide a wholesome perspective on the geospatial industry and its value proposition to the global audience.
The Countries Geospatial Readiness Index-2018 reiterates the need expressed by the government, and industry stakeholders to develop a holistic national geospatial strategy in tandem with technological advancements. The United States of America, United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore and the Netherlands are assessed as top five geospatially ready countries out of the 50 countries index. The assessment is based on an evaluation framework comprising of five pillars (inclusive of 20+ sub-pillars) which are – geospatial data infrastructure, policy framework, institutional capacities, user adoption and geospatial industry capacities. The countries have been grouped as ‘Leaders’, ‘Challengers’, and ‘Aspirers’ in each of the evaluation pillars with comparative insights, and highlights accompanied with geography-wise infographics.
