Abstract
GPS technology has made significant contributions to the global economy in the
last decade. Hundreds of uses of GPS now exist from stand-alone applications,
such as surveying and navigation, to more integrated, embedded applications in
which GPS is just one component. Like the Internet, GPS is an information
technology that is a part of the emerging Global Information Infrastructure.
GPS-based precision time signals help synchronized global information networks
of fiber optics, coaxial cable, copper wire, radio, and even communication
satellites. GPS applications are generating both commercial products and
information services, which increase productivity in diverse public service
applications and enhance national and even personal security.
Based on the industry trends and technological assessment, experts predict
that the market is expected to grow for the next 15-20 years. Predictions also
show a strong annual growth and an expected market size of US $757 billion by
2017. There have seen a significant growth of interest in GPS applications for
fields, such as vehicle tracking, surveying, mapping, navigation, railway
management, marine, aeronautical, land vehicle and electric power systems.
This report summarizes the main companies involved (all of them are small),
and briefly mentions their activities.
This research analyzes on GPS equipment markets worldwide, offering revenue,
unit, and average price forecasts at the segment and sub-segment level. The
study covers general aviation, land, marine, military, timing, and wireless
markets. The GPS-enabled wireless segment includes sub-segments for mobile
handsets and personal digital assistants (PDAs)/pagers/laptops.
