Top Impacting Factors

Increase in adoption of GIS for facilities management

GIS technologies gives organizations a look at their facilities across all scales using the same data and software, allowing them to analyze dependencies, decrease costs, make better decisions, and improve performance management. GIS is a robust information system that supports a diverse set of analytic capabilities, workflows, and applications. Throughout the facility life cycle, GIS supports from site selection to space planning & maintenance, lease property management & usage, safety issues, and continuity planning. In addition, integration of GIS in facilities management is useful for asset management and maintenance, space usage, 3D visualizations, disaster, and business continuity planning. GIS proves to be an effective tool to manage facilities, resulting into time saving and reducing significant cost. The initial cost of the GIS/FM applications is expected to be high but is expected to offer considerable returns due to the noticeable cost saving. Thus, there is an increase in the demand for GIS solutions for facilities management, which significantly drives the growth of the India GIS software market.

Increase in demand for GIS software in smart cities development and urban planning

Smart cities are data-driven and dependent on sharing real-time awareness. Collecting data from thousands of IoT sensors and analyzing it by an enterprise GIS creates visualization of the data on a map for immediate actionable insights. These insights can be used to track the delivery of city services and highlight areas where local council services need improvement. Location-based analysis of IoT data has also been used by local government to develop smarter parks, improve safety, and drive innovation. While developing smart cities project, the GIS solutions are implemented to create generalized location enabled platform for use-cases analysis in smart cities environments. These include automated natural hazard monitor web GIS with SMS warning, climate monitoring, urban design, intelligent transportation systems, and disaster management SDI. GIS software for smart city helps in site selection and land acquisition, planning, designing & visualization, construction & project management, operations & reporting. Specialists apply GIS in urban planning for analysis, modeling, and visualization. By processing geospatial data from satellite imaging, aerial photography, and remote sensors, users gain a detailed perspective on land and infrastructure. These benefits of GIS are driving the growth of the India GIS software market.
