Navigation Satellite Systems Market

The global navigation satellite market was valued at $225.30 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $552.20 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 9.5% from 2022 to 2031.

Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) refers to a constellation of satellites, which provides signals from the space that relays positioning, navigation, and timing data to the GNSS receiver. It provides accurate real-time positioning and timing services to users across the globe. GNSS comprises satellite navigation systems which includes GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, and Galileo. At present, there are three fully functional GNSS systems operating across the globe. First is U.S. Global Positioning System (NAVSTAR), second is Global Orbiting Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) by Russian Federation, and third is European Union’s Galileo. Moreover, it has several applications including road & rail navigation, location-based services, maritime navigation, agriculture, and others.

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) has been used during the pandemic for quarantine monitoring and enforcement where it is utilized to set up a virtual perimeter for those people who are in self-quarantine through a process known as geofencing. For instance, in South Korea, government made it mandatory for anyone entering the country to download “Self-Quarantine Safety Protection Application” for their 14-day self-quarantine. GNSS-based applications have been used to support precautionary measures. Location measures gained through use of GNSS have helped identify, map and tag congested places and locations where individuals who have tested positive or have recently travelled. This data enabled the authorities to provide information about the places which need to be avoided. Moreover, GNSS-based applications were used for a variety of other medical applications including guiding UAVs to enable large scale disinfection, tracking the ill patients and delivering food supplies to those in need in order to minimize human contact and maintain social distancing.

The growth of the global navigation satellite system market has propelled due to increase in the adoption of autonomous vehicles for several applications and growth in dependence on location-based services. However, cyber-attacks impacting navigation satellite systems and inaccuracy in GNSS data are the factors that hamper the growth of the GNSS market. Furthermore, fusion of 5G and GNSS is expected to offer growth opportunities during the forecast period.

Increase in the adoption of autonomous vehicles for several applications

An autonomous vehicle, referred as driverless vehicle, is a vehicle capable of sensing its environment and operates without human intervention. Autonomous vehicle rely on advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning systems to understand their surrounding environment. The advent of autonomous vehicle is one of the three revolutions that is bringing changes across the globe. The other two revolutions are transition from internal combustion engine to electric and integration of cars into digital traffic networks.

In recent years, adoption of autonomous vehicles such as unmanned aerial vehicles, underwater vehicles and unmanned ground vehicles have increased across the globe. The autonomous vehicles require integration of navigation satellite system receivers to determine real-time positioning information, which further is utilized in several applications such as surveying, military missions, mapping, and autonomous delivery.

Moreover, autonomous vehicle with the aid of GNSS receivers can perform effectively even in a low navigation satellite signal reception area. Therefore, demand for GNSS integrated autonomous vehicles is increased. Thus, increase in the adoption of autonomous vehicles for several applications is one of the factors that drive the growth of the navigation satellite system industry during the forecast period.

Growth in dependence on location-based services

Location-based services (LBSs) are a set of services that use real time geo-data through internet capable devices to provide information about current location. LBSs are greatly dependent on geographical mapping, which is carried out with the help of satellite imagery received through navigation satellites.

LBSs help during flood, rescue events, natural calamities, and for weather forecasting to develop future programs to simplify the situational events. Therefore, most of the countries mandate the use of LBSs as they help in decision making for civil defense operations.

In addition, people are using LBSs through various internet capable devices such as smartphones, tracking devices, digital cameras, tablets, and fitness devices. Increase in adoption of smartphones across the globe accelerates the utilization of location-based services; thereby, boosting the navigation satellite system industry growth. Moreover, various mobile applications such as business and communication apps, gaming apps, health & wellness apps, and personal convenience apps majorly use real-time positioning information. Thus, upsurge in trend of navigation and location-based services across various sectors are expected to drive the growth of the navigation satellite system market.
